Hardware Tweaks

Video Driver

2D video works out of the box. To enable 3D (and compiz),

  1. go to system -> admin -> hardware drivers. Install "version current" driver (not 173, which seems to break suspend). Reboot
  2. go to system -> preferences -> appearance and change the setting under the "Visual Effects" tab. A "driver search" window may popup - cancel it.

Ultranav (Middle Mouse Button) Scrolling

  • run the command (press alt+f2) "gksudo gedit /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-thinkpad.conf"
  • paste this into the file
Section "InputClass"
	Identifier	"Trackpoint Wheel Emulation"
	MatchProduct	"TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint|DualPoint Stick|Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint|ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint"
	MatchDevicePath	"/dev/input/event*"
	Option		"EmulateWheel"		"true"
	Option		"EmulateWheelButton"	"2"
	Option		"Emulate3Buttons"	"false"
	Option		"XAxisMapping"		"6 7"
	Option		"YAxisMapping"		"4 5"
EndSection
  • Restart X (logout and back in)
  • If you want to disable horizontal scrolling, remove the line
	Option		"XAxisMapping"		"6 7"

Harddrive Active Protection

Fingerprint Reader

SD/MMC Card Reader
