I too have an IBM ThinkPad T40 (2373-7CG). The Multimedia audio controller is: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01). With kernel 2.6.10.1.741_FC3, I have no sound at all, but X works OK and does not freeze. With kernel 2.6.9-1.681_FC3, sound works OK.

I followed suggestions in 144742, and indeed muting 'Head Phone Jack Sense' and 'Line Jack Sense' resolves the problem.
