This is a draft on how to get Ubuntu 6.04 on the ThinkPad X41<br />

<br />
The proxy package doesn't exist. It's not a problem. I choose to use the FreeNX key.<br />
<br />
== Swiss keyboard encoding ==<br />
{{cmduser|setxkbmap ch}} (for Swiss German)<br />
<br />
{{cmduser|setxkbmap ch -variant fr}} (for Swiss French)<br />
<br />
== blogbridge ==<br />
{{cmduser|sudo update-alternatives --config java}}<br />
<br />
sudo mv blogbridge-2.16.tgz /usr/share/<br />
<br />
sudo tar xvzf blogbridge-2.16.tgz<br />
<br />
mv blogbridge-2.16 blogbridge<br />
== Enable TrackPoint middle-button scrolling ==<br />
<br />
To use the blue middle TrackPoint button as a scroll wheel (using the red TrackPoint itself to scroll up and down), do the following. In a terminal, enter these commands:<br />
<br />
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-original<br />
<br />
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf<br />
<br />
In the editor, find the section headed Section “InputDevice†/ Identifier “Configured Mouse†and the following lines <br />
above the “EndSection†line:<br />
<br />
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"<br />
<br />
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"<br />
<br />
Save the file. Logout, restart X with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, and log in again.<br />

== WINE ==<br />
<br />
deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt dapper main<br />

<br />
BUG: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/50031<br />
<br />
You need to install this update:<br />
<br />
{{cmduser|wget http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/acpi-support/acpi-support_0.85_i386.deb}}<br />
<br />
{{cmduser|dpkg -i acpi-support_0.85_i386.deb}}<br />
<br />
After installing this package, the on-screen volume control does not work anymore ... can anyone confirm this. (did a lot of changes to my system, so I do not know if this reason.)<br />
<br />
