I have a TP600E, but this should be the same on the 600X from what I have
seen so far.

Unfortunately, there's no FreeBSD port of the ThinkPad Configuration
Utility, which is available for Windoze and for Linux. With this software,
you can configure your peripheral settings and activate & deactivate
components.
First of all, you cannot use IrDA and the serial port at the same time. If
you have IrDA turned on and want to use serial, it's a workaround to turn
off the infrared port first, than reboot, than turn on the serial port.
I switched from IrDA to serial some days ago and it was a pain as I had to
try it several times until it was working, and nobody knows why... :-(
Regards,
Martin
