Model
Lenovo Thinkpad R61 7743-Y1B
General
This installation instruction describes the steps after a Gentoo 2007.0 base installation. Please read the gentoo handbook for installation instructions
Working:
- Keyboard, UltraNav input
- Drives
- X11 with nVidia including acceleration
- Network, wireless network and bluetooth
- Sound
- Suspend to RAM
- ThinkLight
- PCMCIA
- ACPI (Battery, CPU Frequency, Fan, Temperature, ...)
- Fingerprint scanner (includes login and screen lock)
Partially working:
- Fn Keys
Not tested:
- Firewire (should work as it is recognized, no devices for testing)
- Express Card Slot
- Harddisk protection (should work with patching)
- Docking Station (should work according to several sources)
Graphics: NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M
To install and configure the nVidia driver, just emerge nvidia-driver. Tested with nvidia-driver-100.14.19, everything works fine, games run smooth.
Framebuffer works fine with vga=869 which will set the resolution to 1440x900. hwinfo --framebufer displays all supported resolutions.
The brightness can be changed with the new nvidia driver (169.04) which is a beta driver at the moment. Does not work with older drivers, only known workaround is to either use vesa / nv driver or to change the brightness on a vt.
Sound: AD1984
Did not work with older Versions of ALSA driver, works fine with ALSA 1.0.15 and should work with ALSA 1.0.14 as well. The in-kernel ALSA works since 2.6.23.
The mute button is hardwired and works, the volume up and volume down buttons work as well but you need to configure them first.
Note: After muting you have to press a volume up or down button to unmute, and the mute status is not displayed in any mixer application.
Network: Intel E1000 NIC, IPW4965abgn WNIC, Bluetooth
The integrated e1000 LAN NIC works out of the box.
For wireless you have to unmask and emerge the iwlwifi package with the ipw4965 USEFlag enabled.
Don't forget that the interface (wlan0) has to be set as up (ifconfig wlan0 up) before scanning and associating works.
Bluetooth works out of the box with blueZ.
Ports: PCMCIA, USB, IEEE 1394 Firewire
PCMCIA port works out of the box, tested with an audigy pcmcia. I have no express slot cards available for testing.
The left hand usb ports generate an IRQ nobody cared error from time to time, Try to boot with irqpoll in your kernel line as suggested.
A BIOS Update might help as well, it is recommended to use the ThinkVantage Software Updater for windows for a BIOS Update. The error disappeared here and USB works fine.
Firewire is untested but should work, as the port is recognized and the module loaded.
Drives
The optical drive and hard drive work out of the box, at least with AHCI disabled in the BIOS.
If you run a dualboot system with windows <= 5.1 (XP) you want to disable AHCI anyway.
Input
TouchPad
Works out of the box here, with scrolling. Have a look at my Xorg.conf section at the end
Can be disabled via synclient when using the synaptics driver, a possible solution is this script:
#!/bin/sh touchpad=`synclient -l | grep TouchpadOff | awk '{print $3}'` case "$touchpad" in 1) synclient TouchpadOff=0; echo "Touchpad Enabled" | osd_cat -d 1 -c cyan --font="-*-times-bold-r-*--34-240-*-*-p-*-*-*" -A center -p bottom ;; 0) synclient TouchpadOff=1; echo "Touchpad Disabled" | osd_cat -d 1 -c cyan --font="-*-times-bold-r-*--34-240-*-*-p-*-*-*" -A center -p bottom ;; esac exit 0
which needs xosd to display the current state. You can make it excecutable and map it to the fn+f8 button.
Trackpoint
Works out of the box as well, with no scrolling however. Can be configured via xorg.conf, I prefer using the middle button as mouse3.
Keyboard
Works out of the box, most of the Fn Keys work.
Hardwired: Mute, Thinklight, Brightness
Generates a keycode and can be configured: Volume Down, Volume Up, Fn+F2, Fn+F3, Fn+F4, Fn+F5, Fn+F7, Fn+Arrows
Does not generate a key event: Fn+F8, Fn+F9, Fn+F12, Fn+Space
Power Management
Suspend to RAM worked out of the box here, echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep puts the machine in suspend mode, opening it or pressing the power button wakes it up. Worked with nvidia driver and in X11. All devices came back without problems, wlan might have disconnected, but by using networkmanager, wicd or a good configuration it should reconnect after waking up. Works here with wicd.
Integrated Fingerprint Reader
Emerge the thinkfinger package, add a user with the tf-tool. Then you have to edit the /etc/pam.d/system-auth file by adding
auth sufficient pam_thinkfinger.so
between pam.unix and pam.env.
Read the Gentoo-Wiki to use it with xscreensaver, there is a good solution over there
Note: kdm has problems with thinkfinger auth and might crash. There are patches, but I didn't test them yet. gdm works fine here.
Hard Drive Active Protection
The integrated harddrive active protection acceleration meter can be used as a joystick or to get information about movements of your thinkpad.
Emerge the hdapsd (which includes a kernel module you have to load) which will generate a joystick and an event device.
It could as well be used to protect your harddisk from damage, but I have not tested this and I wont, as I can't be arsed to use my backups just because I did some experimenting with my hdd.
Thinklight
The thinklight works out of the box with the Fn+PgUp key, but it can be controlled as well via the proc interface.
So you can write a nice script, which you can bind to events, such as incoming emails, to let the light flash.
A possible solution is this small script:
#!/bin/sh if [ -z "$1" ] then echo "IBM ThinkLight Control script." echo "2007 by Christian \"Fuchs\" Loosli." echo "" echo "usage: lightctl on | off | blink" echo "blink takes two arguments: times and time" echo "defaults (5 times, 0.5 seconds) are used if not specified" else if [ $1 = "on" ] then sudo sh -c "echo on > /proc/acpi/ibm/light" fi if [ $1 = "off" ] then sudo sh -c "echo off > /proc/acpi/ibm/light" fi if [ $1 = "blink" ] then times=$2 time=$3 if [ -z "$2" ] then times=4 fi if [ -z "$3" ] then time=0.5 fi for i in `seq 1 $times`; do sudo sh -c "echo on > /proc/acpi/ibm/light"; sleep $time; sudo sh -c "echo off > /proc/acpi/ibm/light" sleep $time; done fi fi exit 0
which can be called to let the light blink or switch it off or on. The blink part is nice for setting to events such as incoming messages or emails.
(note: the thinklight is a LED, so it should not care on how fast and often you let it blink. But I am not responsible if this script damages your thinklight. Use at own risk.
Configuration Files
xorg.conf
Note that I use the XFont Server, you might have to change the font path.

xmodmap
Note: you have to xmodmap /path/to/file this file in your autostart. You might have different keycodes, use the application xev to display them.
