Didn't work

    • Toggle Wireless. Use the Network Manager Applet on the gnome panel.
  • Hard Drive Active Protection System (No luck yet)
  • Thinkpad-acpi. "thinkpad_acpi: Not yet supported ThinkPad detected!" is displayed at startup. Since acpi isn't working battery life in Ubuntu is less than in Windows.
