I purchased a T60 (model 1953) with exactly that configuration a few

months ago.  It works great with OpenBSD.  As you mentioned, it has an XGA

display (no wide-screen) and Intel GMA 950 graphics chipset.
I initially made the mistake of getting the "ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wi-Fi

wireless LAN Mini-PCIe" wireless card, but that Atheros-based card is not

currently supported by OpenBSD because it uses the AR5424 chipset.  So I

had to replace it with an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG card--which is what I

should have gotten in the first place.
So, I think you are making EXACTLY the correct decisions.  The model you

are describing is the perfect OpenBSD laptop, and it's currently available

brand new on the Lenovo website.
