At the first you should flash the current BIOS version 2.30-1.08 (!).

The Core 2 Duo has implemented the Intel64 extension. You should install Bionic 64 bit (usefully Lubuntu) w/o Flash.

It exists a serious hardware issue with T61 and Nvdia GPU. This may affect your device. Plz use a search engine!

Bios upgraded from v 2.19 to 2.30 today. I will test and let you know if
the issue remains.
I downloaded Lubuntu and burned the .iso to a DVD for possible installation.
