Model=auto seems to give a very generic configuration, which indeed does 
include working
Mic boost for Internal Mic. (Ext?) Mic Boost and gain are also present, 
but jack sensing does not work,
so these cannot be tested.
Also, the Dock Microphone is not detected, so I would conclude that for 
X200T "auto" does not work.

It would be surprising if Auto was better than dedicated model. (X200 
and X200T accept
same part numbers for audio card).
The kernel version that I used for this latest testing is 3.0-ARCH

It would be nice to get the mute switches to work as well.
