Try Sway as a Wayland WM.

I'll check it out, thanks.

It looks like a neat WM. I'll try it out and see if I like it.

The best configuration out of it is represented in Manjaro Sway. Try itnin Live mode. Format your usb stick with Ventoy2Disk and it'll be the last time you'll ever format it.

Do you have the old CCFL backlight or LED? The X61s might all be LED but it's been a while since I've fiddled with them.

If it's CCFL see if you can easily swap to LED and you should get much better brightness.

Found an x61 and an x200t at a flea market in Bremen two days ago and let my girlfriend talk me out of this 15€ purchase :D :/ I still have a 1400x1050 panel sitting in the drawer.
