How well is Arch with Thinkpad T43?

I have an old Thinkpad T43 with Opensuse 10.3 installed, as opensuse 10.3 is out of support cycle, I want to try Arch, but not sure if everything is fine, currently all hardwares(modern, suspend/resume, speaker/mic, volume control, etc... everything) are working fine, I also tried latest versions of some distros like Ubuntu 10.04 but there are a few hardwares not working. Is there anyone who have similar experience can tell me how well is it?

Thanks!

I've got a T41 and everything is working as advertised. Be prepared to do everything yourself though with Arch!

Everything is fine on T42. Running Arch for three years now.

I think a T43 even fully supports all tp smapi functions smile Check the wiki for all possibilities!
