== Installation ==

Normal CD installation works fine. However, if Optimus is enabled, it may require a hard reboot upon completion.

=== Kernel ===

* Kernel 2.6.38-8 is the shipping kernel with Ubuntu 11.04. It is buggy. For example, a common issue is to see kworker constantly hit 20% cpu when running top.
* Upgrade to a newer kernel by going to [http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.39.4-oneiric/] and downloading the headers, image, and _all files for your type of machine. Install them (you can just double-click in the UI if you don't know the commands). Reboot.

=== Optimus ===

* BIOS
** The OS Detect option does not work. If enabled, it will present Optimus to Ubuntu.
** If graphics are set to Optimus, Ubuntu will default to using Intel graphics.
** If graphics are set to Discrete, Ubuntu will default to using Nvidia. If dual-booting windows, this will cause problems with the default lenovo system image - possible (untested) fix is to manually reinstall nvidia drivers in windows.
** If graphics are set to Integrated, Ubuntu will default to using Intel graphics.
* The current kernel provided by Ubuntu conflicts with the Nvidia driver. Until Ubuntu upgrades to a newer kernel, you must manually install one.

=== Ultranav (Middle Mouse Button) Scrolling ===
* run the command "sudo gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-thinkpad.conf"
* paste this into the file

== Installation ==

Normal CD installation works fine. However, if Optimus is enabled, it may require a hard reboot upon completion.

=== Kernel ===

* Kernel 2.6.38-8 is the shipping kernel with Ubuntu 11.04. It is buggy. For example, a common issue is to see kworker constantly hit 20% cpu when running top.
* Upgrade to a newer kernel by going to [http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.39.4-oneiric/] and downloading the headers, image, and _all files for your type of machine. Install them (you can just double-click in the UI if you don't know the commands). Reboot.

=== Optimus ===

* BIOS
** The OS Detect option does not work. If enabled, it will present Optimus to Ubuntu.
** If graphics are set to Optimus, Ubuntu will default to using Intel graphics.
** If graphics are set to Discrete, Ubuntu will default to using Nvidia. If dual-booting windows, this will cause problems with the default lenovo system image - possible (untested) fix is to manually reinstall nvidia drivers in windows.
** If graphics are set to Integrated, Ubuntu will default to using Intel graphics.
* The current kernel provided by Ubuntu conflicts with the Nvidia driver. Until Ubuntu upgrades to a newer kernel, you must manually install one.

** If graphics are set to Optimus, Ubuntu will default to using Intel graphics.
** If graphics are set to Discrete, Ubuntu will default to using Nvidia. If dual-booting windows, this will cause problems with the default lenovo system image - possible (untested) fix is to manually reinstall nvidia drivers in windows.

=== Power Adapter ===

The W520 comes with a special [http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-76762.html 170W AC adapter (P/N 0A36227)] that is currently not shipped with any other Thinkpad. Note that it is different from the W700 [http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70684 170W AC adapter (P/N 41R4421)]. The W520 AC adapter is larger but lighter than the W510 135W AC adapter.

Most newer (20V) Thinkpad AC adapters have a compatible plug with the W520, but not all of them will work due to power constraints. The following table shows which AC adapters can be used to run the W520:

The 135W adapter is sufficient to run the W520 without throttling. The 65W and 90W adapters can only be used to charge the battery while the W520 is not running, that is, powered off, hibernated, or suspended.

== Hardware Tweaks ==
=== Video Driver ===
2D video works out of the box. To enable 3D (and compiz),

# go to system -> admin -> hardware drivers. Install "version current" driver (not 173, which seems to break suspend). Reboot
# 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

* Restart X (logout and back in)

* If you want to disable horizontal scrolling, remove the line

* The above also disables middle button pasting and makes the middle button act the same as the left button. If you wish to enable it, remove the line
