GPU Fan Overheating
Install HDAPS - IBM Active Protection System Linux Driver
sudo modprobe tp-smapi
FATAL: Error inserting tp_smapi (/lib/modules/2.6.35-25-generic/updates/dkms/tp_smapi.ko): No such device or address
To install the Active Protection System execute the following commands:
$ sudo apt-get -y install tp-smapi-dkms hdapsd
$ sudo modprobe tp-smapi
$ sudo /etc/init.d/hdapsd restart
$ echo 'tp-smapi' | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
My T61 freezes when going to sleep and is accidentally moved, to avoid this write on console:
$ sudo touch /etc/pm/sleep.de/1-hdapsd.sh
$ sudo chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.de/1-hdapsd.sh
$ sudo nano /etc/pm/sleep.de/1-hdapsd.sh
then put into 1-hdapsd.sh
#!/bin/bash case "$1" in hibernate|suspend) /etc/init.d/hdapsd stop ;; thaw|resume) /etc/init.d/hdapsd start ;; *) ;; esac exit $?
it stops hdapsd before pc goes to sleep and then starts it when it wakes up.
Touchpoint middle-button scrolling:
1. Use your favorite editor for creating following file - e.g.: sudo vim /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-thinkpad.conf
2. Enter this text to the newly created 20-thinkpad.conf:
Section "InputClass" Identifier "Trackpoint Wheel Emulation" MatchProduct "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint|DualPoint Stick|Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Option "EmulateWheel" "true" Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false" Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7" Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection
3. Save file and reboot your laptop.
