I have a problem with my Thinkpad X300 where, after sleeping and rewaking my laptop, my X3100 graphics become stretched and distorted. I wrote a guide on installing SL on the Thinkpad X300, and the only person who has followed it so far does NOT have this issue. They have the same revision graphics controller as I do.
I had them zip their /Extra and /System/Library/Extensions, and I COMPLETELY overwrote these directories on my system with their directories, and I STILL have the problem.
Does anyone have any thoughts/suggestions? Are there any other crucial system directories that I can try to mirror from his machine to help find the problem?

ahhhh, I solved my problem. The problem was that i WAS using an EFI string. Once I removed this string it all worked for me.
Try installing this:
I am running 10.6.1 and these drivers work fine for me. I don't use an EFI string.
