Table of thinkpad-acpi LEDs

2006-10-23T10:07:08Z

Alfmatos:

This table contains informations about which LED number is used for which LED in the [[ibm-acpi]] driver.

To test please do the following and add the blinking LED to the table.

<pre>
echo "0 blink" > /proc/acpi/ibm/led
echo "1 blink" > /proc/acpi/ibm/led
echo "2 blink" > /proc/acpi/ibm/led
echo "3 blink" > /proc/acpi/ibm/led
echo "4 blink" > /proc/acpi/ibm/led
echo "5 blink" > /proc/acpi/ibm/led
echo "6 blink" > /proc/acpi/ibm/led
echo "7 blink" > /proc/acpi/ibm/led
</pre>

==Adding entries==

Edit the [[#DMI_ID_database|DMI ID database]] section above. Identify your series (or add a new one), and add an entry of the following form:
:<tt>!-</tt>
:<tt>| </tt>description of your model
:data line 1
:data line 2

where the two data lines are genereated by the following <tt>bash</tt> command:

Installing Ubuntu 6.06 Flight 5 on a ThinkPad T60

2006-05-20T15:30:52Z

Alfmatos: /* What needs to be fixed post-install */

Installation of Ubuntu 6.06 Flight 5 or Flight 6 on a T60 (2623D6U).
(note: Ubuntu 6.04 has been re-labeled as 6.06)

The Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) installer did not recognize the network card (Intel 82573L), so I decided to try 6.06 (an alpha version of Dapper Drake).

== Summary ==
=== What works out of the box ===

* Network card
* Sound
* Volume control keys and the function key for the locked screensaver.
* The PCMCIA slots
* Always working without any OS support: keyboard light and screen brightness control
* Monitor out (but perhaps not perfectly)

=== What needs to be fixed post-install ===

* Graphics card (see http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Dapper_Installation_Guide)
* Dual core processor (get the linux-686-smp package)
* Wireless (see http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_PRO/Wireless_3945ABG_Mini-PCI_Express_Adapter)
** This seems to work out of the box with Ubuntu kernel 2.6.15-22 and 2.6.15-23 (did not try any others). Just remeber to do iwconfig or ifconfig -a to check if it's there.

== Installing of Ubuntu 6.04 alpha Flight 5 or Ubuntu 6.06 Flight 6==

* '''First''', you should look at {{Install|Ubuntu| 5.04|T43 (1875)}}. There is information on '''preserving''' the functionality of the '''ThinkVantage button''', which I did not follow.
* You should probably create the IBM Rescue CDs before you begin. I expected the rescue partition to be able to restore my system to the factory default state if I messed up, but I was wrong.
* Downloaded CD ISO of Ubuntu's Dapper flight 5 [http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/flight5 Flight 5] or [http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/dapper/flight-6/ Flight 6] Install CD for PC (Intel x86).
* I used the installer's partitioner. I reduced the Windows partition to 10GB, left the IBM recovery partition alone, and created four ReiserFS partitions for the Linux system: / (6GB), /usr (8GB), swap (2.5GB), and /home (the remaining space). You should have a minumum of 5GB free space, for a standard Ubuntu installation.
* I let the installer install GRUB in the MBR. I kind of regret doing that because now the ThinkVantage button does not work properly. See the T43 instructions on the alternative methods that might work. {{Install|Ubuntu| 5.04|T43 (1875)}}
* The installer recognized the network card (unlike Ubuntu 5.10).
* The blue "ThinkVantage" button now goes to GRUB instead of IBM's Rescue System. You can get to the IBM partition from the GRUB menu by choosing the "Windows NT" partition.
* Don't forget to turn up and unmute (key m) the front speaker level in alsamixer. It's usually muted after installation.

== Fixes after installation ==

* X wouldn't start. The ATI x1300 is now supported since driver version 8.24.8. To get a provisorily support for the chip, change the Device driver in xorg.conf from "ati" to "vesa". A resolution of 1400x1050 works fine on my T60 with the vesa drivers (but try 1280x1024 if that doesn't work). But for real support for your x1300 follow the instructions on (http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Dapper_Installation_Guide) - Method 2. You may also find the instructions at [http://hallx049.oit.umn.edu/linux/laptops/tp-t60/] to be helpful, since the instructions included with the ATI driver do not work.
* The linux-686-smp package supports the dual core processor. I verified that it worked by looking at /proc/cpuinfo.
** Because I needed to compile other modules anyways (e.g., the wireless drivers), I decided to get the 2.6.16 kernel source and compile it myself. I set the "Pentium M" processor type with 2 processors ([http://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCompileHowto]). The package generated by make-kpkg worked when I used make-kpkg's "--initrd" flag.
** To make the frequency scaling work for both cores, you can install the "sysfs" package and execute this lines after startup: ''echo "ondemand" >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor && echo "ondemand" >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor''
* To get the built-in wireless to work, I installed the 3945ABG wireless driver from SourceForge (http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/), the latest IEEE 80211 (http://ieee80211.sourceforge.net/downloads.php) modules, and the latest ipw2200 (http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ipw2200) modules.
** Downloading the binary driver by Intel, (Stable release 1.0.0) from [http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/detail_desc.aspx?ProductID=2259&DwnldID=10315&agr=Y] and following the quick installation instructions also works fine.

== Unsolved ==
* I can't get the system back to work after any suspended, standby oder hibernate mode.
* I didn't try to get my T60's IrDA interface working, up to now.
* Powersave Mode for the ATI Graphics Adapter leads to complete system lockup

== Not tested ==
* The modem

Talk:Installing Ubuntu 6.06 Flight 5 on a ThinkPad T60

2006-05-20T15:28:56Z

Alfmatos:

Does suspend/resume work for you? I've tried Fedora Core 5 and Debian, and my T60 can't access the disk after suspend to RAM.

My T60 neither. I don't get it back out of the standby mode.

Has anyone found a solution for the T60's IrDA in Ubuntu?

Has anyone managed to scale the CPU frequency of both cores? My battery lasts only 2h in Ubuntu.

Does anyone know of a Linux distro that supports most of the things from the start ? I wouldn't want to compile my own kernel since then I'll have to update it manually, etc. I'm really paying atention to this site and http://www.kraus.tk/installnotes/T60/ThinkPad-T60.htm for a complete guide but so far support feels shaky (especially the graphics card and suspend which is essential for a laptop). Keep up the good work ;) ~emilian

Installing the Lastest Ubuntu Release managed to get the wifi card working out of the box, the Intel 3945. Also, upgrading the kernel to release 23 of the ubuntu kernel got the sound card working properly. Doing the apt-get of the xorg-driver-fglrx got the video card working with full 3d acceleration. I was playing Enemy Territory with a very good frame rate and sound :). The only thing not working is the display switch between lcd and vga, which i release MISS and NEED.
