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.
