  • Microphone: works


Tested: Needed tweaking to obtain full functionality

Enabling Touchpoint scrolling

To get vertical/horizontal scrolling working create /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi and add the following to it: 

<match key="info.product" string="TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint">
 <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheel" type="string">true</merge>
 <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelButton" type="string">2</merge>
 <merge key="input.x11_options.XAxisMapping" type="string">6 7</merge>
 <merge key="input.x11_options.YAxisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge>
 <merge key="input.x11_options.ZAxisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge>
 <merge key="input.x11_options.Emulate3Buttons" type="string">true</merge>
</match>


Enabling the fingerprint reader

Install thinkfinger-tools and libpam-thinkfinger then execute:

$ sudo aptitude -y install thinkfinger-tools libpam-thinkfinger


Fix for fingerprint reader getting to hot

Use the last script from here, but note that in Karmic, the correct path is: /sys/class/usbmon/usbmon*/device/usb*/*


Install HDAPS - IBM Active Protection System Linux Driver

To install the Active Protection System execute the following commands:

$ sudo cp /etc/modules /etc/modules_backup

$ sudo aptitude install tp-smapi-source

$ sudo module-assistant prepare tp-smapi

$ sudo module-assistant auto-install tp-smapi

$ sudo modprobe tp-smapi

$ sudo aptitude install hdapsd

$ echo 'tp-smapi'


Tested: Non-functioning
