Installation

Installation is straight forward and no different from the process mentioned in Installing Fedora Core 4 on a ThinkPad X41 Tablet.

Configuration

X Server

Enabling the Stylus

Add the following lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local: 

# Map stylus to a serial port
setserial /dev/ttyS0 port 0x0200 irq 5 autoconfig


Add the lines in bold font to /etc/X11/xorg.conf: 

 Section "ServerLayout"

To activate the rotated layout, start X with $ startx -- :1 -layout rotateCW

Wireless Network

Install the ipw2200 driver from ATrpms. 

# rpm --import http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms
# rpm -Uvh http://dl.atrpms.net/all/3rd-party-package-config-104-3.rhfc5.at.i386.rpm
# yum install ipw2200

Hibernation

Software suspend works using Software Suspend 2. To install: 

# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# wget http://mhensler.de/swsusp/download/suspend2.repo
# yum install userui-suspend2-fbsplash userui-suspend2-theme-fedorabubbles kernel-suspend2

Edit the appropriate kernel line in /etc/grub.conf and add the parameters vga=0x317 and acpi_sleep=s3_bios. For example: 

title Fedora Core (<kernel.version-build>.rhfc5.cubbi_suspend2)
       root (hd0,1)
       kernel /vmlinuz-<kernel.version-build>.rhfc5.cubbi_suspend2 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet vga=0x317 acpi_sleep=s3_bios
       initrd /initrd-<kernel.version-build>.rhfc5.cubbi_suspend2.img

Add the following line to /etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf: 

OnResume 96 setserial /dev/ttyS0 port 0x0200 irq 5 autoconfig

Tablet Buttons

Activate mappings for the tablet buttons by adding the following lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local: 

# Map tablet hardware buttons
setkeycodes 6e 109 6d 104 69 28 6b 1
