==Upgrading from 2005 LE to 2006==<br />
<br />
Although the installer ran without incident, look out for several issues to address: <br />
<br />
* Several things quit working until I switched to the 2.6.11 kernel that was installed. Notably, sound didn't work and the trackpointer didn't work. You can use drakboot to change the default corner, or command line jockeys can edit {{path|/etc/lilo.conf}}<br />
<br />
* The DVD drive could not be located. It was being sought at {{path|/mnt/cdrom}} but really existed at {{path|/mnt/cdrom2}}. Rebooting seemed to fix this. <br />
<br />
* My Orinico wireless card quit working. It was being recognized at "eth0" now instead of "eth1". Copying my settings from the eth1 configuration to the eth0 configuration fixed that. <br />
<br />
* Using the TrackPoint in combination with the middle mouse button as a scroll wheel quit working. I got it working by using this bit in my {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}} file.<br />

If you haven't editted this file before, select "Run" from the start menu and then run a text editor (such as "kate") as root. Be sure to create an extra copy of the file before you change it in case there is a problem!<br />
To make the changes take effect you'll need to restart X. Rebooting is one way to do that. <br />
<br />
* The "Suspend" option had disappeared from the KLaptop menu. It was necessary to go into the "Configure KLaptop" dialog and re-setup the "helper applications". <br />
<br />
* Selecting "ondemand" as a Performance Profile seems to have no effect, through KLaptop or on the command line. It would be nice to solve this for better life. <br />
<br />
* While suspending worked great with Mandriva LE, trying to suspend with APM, now resulted in a reboot upon resuming. What finally worked me was: <br />
** Upgraded to 2.6.12 kernel (not sure if this mattered)<br />
** Make sure acpi and acpid are installed and apmd is not<br />
** Use the built-in suspend key to suspend (Fn-F4). (Using KLaptop instead resulted in no sound upon resume). <br />
<br />
* My USB card reader quit working. My fix was to make sure the USB service was started at boot time, and to explicitly load the USB mass storage module at boot time. <br />

==Suspend/Resume==<br />
<br />
Mandriva controls suspend/resume preferences through the file {{path|/etc/sysconfig/suspend}}.<br />
It is a well-commented text file. Here are two options I set that seemed to help make sound<br />
continue working after a suspend on the T20:<br />
<br />
RESTORE_SOUND="yes"<br />
SOUND_MODULES="sb uart401 sound soundcore maestro cs4281 snd-cs46xx"<br />
<br />
I'm not sure if all the sound modules in this list are necessary. I added <tt>snd-cs46xx</tt> to the list<br />
because I knew it was the one I was using.<br />
<br />
From the Mandrake Control Center, I configured one specific Thinkpad-specific option for the sound<br />
driver. I entered the "Hardware" area and then selected the sound card and clicked "Configure Module". <br />
One of the options is labeled simply "thinkpad". I set it to "1".<br />
<br />
===Screen Locking after Suspend===<br />
<br />
My screen always came back locked after I suspended, and I couldn't figure out how to turn that off<br />
at first. That preference is also in {{path|/etc/sysconfig/suspend}} and is named LOCK_XFREE.<br />
<br />
I set it to "no", but can still lock the screen if I want by using the Klaptop "Lock & Suspend..." option<br />

==Suspend/Resume==<br />
<br />
Mandriva controls suspend/resume preferences through the file {{path|/etc/sysconfig/suspend}}.<br />
It is a well-commented text file. Here are two options I set that seemed to help make sound<br />
continue working after a suspend on the T20:<br />
<br />
RESTORE_SOUND="yes"<br />
SOUND_MODULES="sb uart401 sound soundcore maestro cs4281 snd-cs46xx"<br />
<br />
I'm not sure if all the sound modules in this list are necessary. I added <tt>snd-cs46xx</tt> to the list<br />
because I knew it was the one I was using.<br />
<br />
From the Mandrake Control Center, I configured one specific Thinkpad-specific option for the sound<br />
driver. I entered the "Hardware" area and then selected the sound card and clicked "Configure Module". <br />
One of the options is labeled simply "thinkpad". I set it to "1".<br />
<br />
===Screen Locking after Suspend===<br />
<br />
My screen always came back locked after I suspended, and I couldn't figure out how to turn that off<br />
at first. That preference is also in {{path|/etc/sysconfig/suspend}} and is named LOCK_XFREE.<br />
<br />
I set it to "no", but can still lock the screen if I want by using the Klaptop "Lock & Suspend..." option<br />

==Upgrading from 2005 LE to 2006==<br />
<br />
Although the installer ran without incident, look out for several issues to address: <br />
<br />
* Several things quit working until I switched to the 2.6.11 kernel that was installed. Notably, sound didn't work and the trackpointer didn't work. You can use drakboot to change the default corner, or command line jockeys can edit {{path|/etc/lilo.conf}}<br />
<br />
* The DVD drive could not be located. It was being sought at {{path|/mnt/cdrom}} but really existed at {{path|/mnt/cdrom2}}. Rebooting seemed to fix this. <br />
<br />
* My Orinico wireless card quit working. It was being recognized at "eth0" now instead of "eth1". Copying my settings from the eth1 configuration to the eth0 configuration fixed that. <br />
<br />
* Using the trackpointer in combination with the middle mouse button as a scroll wheel quit working. I got it working by using this bit in my xorg.org conf file. (It means to paste I know have to press the buttons 1 and 3 at the same time. ) <br />

=== S3 Savage IX8 or IX8+===<br />
This is a S3 video adapter<br><br />
S3 is now owned by Via Technologies<br />
<br />
The IX8 and IX8+ chips share the same PCI-ID<br />
<br />
=== Features ===<br />
* Chipset: S3<br />
* PCI ID: 5333:8c12<br />
* AGP 2X<br />
* 8MB SGRAM video memory<br />
</div><br />
|style="vertical-align:top" |<br />
|}<br />
<br />
=== Linux X.Org driver ===<br />
This chip is supported by the '[[savage]]' driver as part of the X.Org distribution<br />
<br />
==== ThinkPad LCD ====<br />
Display on the internal LCD works as long as you set the monitor settings correct.<br />
<br />
==== External VGA port ====<br />
Works. Fn-F7 switches between either LCD and CRT but not both. To use both, use [http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html s3switch] (on some models you need to run "'''s3switch lcd crt tv'''" even if you want only CRT and LCD, otherwise the CRT display is corrupted).<br />
<br />
==== SVideo port ====<br />
??<br />
<br />
=== Linux kernel Framebuffer driver ===<br />
This chip will work with either the 'vesa' or 'savagefb' driver as part of any recent 2.4 or 2.6 kernel.<br />
<br />
To get nice 1400x1050 (some models have such displays) resolution in console try adding: <tt>vga=0x33c video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr</tt> to your kernel parameters (in your bootloader config).<br />
<br />
=== Dual Monitor tip ===<br />
<br />
The chip supports using an external monitor plus the LCD as one big monitor. This can lead to a problem<br />
if X is configured for this, but the external monitor has been detached. This creates a ghost monitor that you <br />
cannot see, but can move the mouse onto and applications can open windows on.<br />
<br />
Sometimes in this situation it's necessary to grab a window from the ghost monitor and drag it into view.<br />
This can be done by moving the mouse onto the ghost screen and then holding down the ALT key, which allows you<br />
to click-and-drag a window back into view. To see what is on the ghost monitor, a screen capture utility like<br />
Ksnapshot can help you. When it takes a screenshot of the entire screen, it will show the contents of the ghost<br />
screen, even though you can't see it directly. <br />
<br />
<br />

* {{T20}}, {{T21}}, {{T22}}<br />
