I have an R40 under 6-stable. Annoyances include: - keyboard LEDs not controllable from X11 (neither Linux), except one - DRI not in combination with suspend. I use two X11 servers, the one with 3D gets shut down on suspend - suspend-to-disk only with APM not ACPI - no special trackpad features - no DVI out Generally the R40 is very likeable, in particular very quiet, but the keyboard is not as good as a T41. I dropped it from 1.5 meters straight onto a concrete floor and it survived (just the harddrive jerked out of the frame). I doubt that the R40 has much in common with more modern R models, though.
