Thanks guys for the hard work.
I played around and got my d620 work pretty good, then I tried a install on my E6500. So far everything working good 10.7.2.
Not working:
wireless - had to use a dongle
Sleep / hibernate
Everything else works good and really snappy.
When I get a free moment I can write up what I did to get it working. It took me a few trys to get 10.7.2 to work correctly.
Thanks again for a great site!!!
