ThinkPad SL Series

This page gives an overview of all ThinkPad SL Series (SL300, SL400, SL500) related topics.

ATTENTION!
The SL Series-notebooks have IdeaPad firmware, they are not ThinkPads as far as Operating System support (i.e. drivers) are concerned.

Alexandre Rostovtsev has written a driver managing hotkeys, backlight and bluetooth. Please test and report results.
