{{NOTE|Firefox or Konqueror users should disable the '''Use IBM Download Director''' option when downloading files.}}

{{NOTE|All Lenovo T, X and R laptops have several bugs in the BIOS that are being actively fixed by Lenovo. For these laptops, BIOS updates are not optional if you find anything to not be working properly, be it the brightness control, or suspend to RAM, or volume keys.}}

You can check current BIOS and Embedded Controller versions using dmidecode command line tool. For example:
bash# dmidecode -s bios-version && dmidecode -t11
1RETDRWW (3.23 )
# dmidecode 2.9
SMBIOS 2.33 present.
Handle 0x0029, DMI type 11, 5 bytes
OEM Strings
String 1: IBM ThinkPad Embedded Controller -[1RHT71WW-3.04 ]-

The following table lists direct links to BIOS updates for most Thinkpad Models. Refer to [[BIOS Upgrade]] for instructions on how to perform a BIOS upgrade.

The '''FW model''' column is what actually identifies which sort of firmware (BIOS and Embedded Controller) should be installed in a ThinkPad. Machines with the same firmware model use the same BIOS and Embedded Controller firmware. It can also be found as the OEM table ID in the ACPI DSDT. It is formed by the characters "TP-", plus the first two characters from the BIOS/EC update part number.

Installing Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) on a ThinkPad T61

2007-08-22T13:16:49Z

Atoponce: /* Brightness */

We'll I got it basically working, so far (will update as I get more things working).

===My DVD drive/CD burner/DVD burner doesn't work (Solved)===

Follow these instructions to enable your [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_drive optical drive]: 
1) Reboot your T61. Press the ThinkVantage button quickly when you see the ThinkPad screen and then press F1 enter [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS BIOS]. 
2) In BIOS, select Configure -> Serial ATA. 
3) Now, select Compatibility instead of AHCI. 
4) Exit BIOS and start your computer normally. 
5) Go to Places -> Computer, right-click your CD-ROM/DVD/etc. drive, and select Properties. Then, go to Drive -> Settings. Set the mount point to ''cdrom'' (regardless of whether it's a CD-ROM drive, DVD drive, etc.).

:Remember step 5! If the Synaptic Package Manager does not see your installation CD, even though you can see it in Places -> Computer, do the following:
 
:1) [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31053 Log in as the root user]. 
:2) Go to /media and rename cdrom to something that isn't already used in the /media folder. 
:3) Right-click on the desktop and select Create Launcher. Enter cdrom as the name and /media/Ubuntu 7.04 i386 as the command. Drag the launcher into /media. Note: Ubuntu 7.04 i386 can be anything, so change it if you need to access a different CD this way (i.e., if you need a different CD to appear as cdrom), but to get a package from your CD via Synaptic the name must be the same as your install CD´s (probably Ubuntu 7.04 i386). 
:4) Remember to rename the original cdrom after you´re done; you can keep the launcher cdrom under a different name.

Of course, this way isn´t by the book and will get annoying if you have to do it a lot, so there´s probably a better way of getting packages from your installation CD with Synaptic, but itĺl work for getting the necessary packages to get your other hardware working.

----

At first, the Ubuntu Live CD would not start at all, this seems to be a problem with the SATA AHCI driver. I had to go into the BIOS and change the SATA driver from ACHI to compatibility (What is the difference? Am I loosing performance?).

----

After you've installed and booted, try the advice from [[Problems_with_SATA_and_Linux]]. Do this:
'''# echo options libata atapi_enabled=1>/etc/modprobe.d/atapienable && update-initramfs -u'''
Then try turning AHCI back on in the BIOS. On a custom-built 2.6.21.5 kernel, my DVD drive appears as /dev/hda and DMA works.
--[[User:Kc8tbe|Kc8tbe]] 12:45, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

If your DVD drive does not appear, modprobe pata-jmicron and ide-generic.
--[[User:Antikristian|Antikristian]] 01:23, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

===NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M (Solved)===
After initial issues like those explained above in the SATA Issues, I received the xorg error 'fatal error: no screens found'. I was able to boot into Safe Graphics Mode and run the installer, though I had to move both window manager bars to see enough of the install window to use it.

Alternatively, you can download the drivers via wget in a console. Take care to follow the instructions in
[http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490 the NVidia Forum] and uninstall all the packages wit apt-get remove, as descirbed.
Then run the nvidia installer.

Remember that, after you upgrade the kernel, you also have to re-install the drivers.

After installing the NVIDIA drivers, your laptop may not wake after suspend or hibernation. I followed these instructions to fix it [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaLaptopBinaryDriverSuspend Ubuntu Community Help].

====Alternative NVIDIA driver installation====
Instead of installing the NVIDIA drivers manually as described above, you can try using [http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html Envy]. It automatically installs the latest NVIDIA drivers, and cleans up any previous installations.

=== Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 (Chipset GM965) (Solved)===
After that the CD seemed to boot but the screen was just garbage [http://shadowarts.nonlogic.org/projects/thinkpad/screen_garbage.jpg Picture]. In order to get around that issue I had to go back and download the Alternate CD, which allows you to install in text only mode. From here, the text-only install went okay. Changing the VGA settings on the regular CD worked for me.

When I booted up after the installation, I was still getting the same garbage on the screen. To resolve this I edited my [http://shadowarts.nonlogic.org/projects/thinkpad/xorg.conf xorg.conf] file as shown. I also had to install the latest kernel for Feisty, as the one off of the install disk did have have /dev/agpgart. And I could then use X11. There were still some issues however. The screen seemed somewhat fuzzy. This was a little more challenging of a fix... I found [http://www.spinics.net/lists/xorg/msg25099.html this] mailing list posting, according to it, there was a small glitch in the driver. To fix it:
<pre>
apt-get source xserver-xorg-video-intel
cd xserver-xorg-video-intel-1.9.94/
vim src/i830_lvds.c
Goto line 230 and delete (PFIT_ENABLE | VERT_AUTSCALE ....);, replacing it with 0; then quit vim
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b
cd ..
dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-intel_1.9.94-lubuntu3_amd64.deb (wont be amd64 with a 32-bit install)
</pre>
Now reboot your computer, and it should work. **NOTE: For some reason just restarting X didn't fix it, seems like you must reboot.** At this point you should have a nice, crisp display.

I am still working on aiglx and compiz (switching desktops on a cube doesnt seem to work, though I have some ideas...). There are some issues with OpenGL apps freezing Xorg as well, but the standard 2D desktop works flawlessly.
----
It doesn't seem to be necessary to modify the soruce of xserver-xorg-video-intel anymore, but 3D-acceleration doesn't seem to be stable yet and kdm occasionally needs to be restarted after a login attempt.--[[User:Kc8tbe|Kc8tbe]] 12:49, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

----
I was able to use the normal feisty install disk by changing the SATA setting in BIOS, then change the resolution to 800x600 prior to install, then sudo apt-get update and upgrade, and then sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel, then change xorg.conf to match link above and 2D graphics work fine. Jul 18, 2008 - John E
----

It seems that everything works fine when using "apt pinning" and updating the xserver-xorg-video-intel, mesa and other packages to the versions provided by Gutsy. I did the following and the resolution and Compiz Fusion are working fine at the moment. The original source of the steps described below can be found here: [http://techreport.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=714998#714998]

'''Instructions:'''
* Make a new file /etc/apt/preferences
* In the preferences file, put:
<pre>
Package: *
Pin: release a=feisty
Pin-Priority: 700

Package: *
Pin: release a=gutsy
Pin-Priority: 200
</pre>
* Now, edit your sources.list and copy the main and restricted (and others if you want) repo lines replacing feisty with gutsy:
<pre>
# original
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty main restricted universe multiverse

# your addition
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy main restricted universe multiverse
</pre>
* Now run:
<pre>
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -t gutsy install xserver-xorg-video-intel
sudo apt-get -t gutsy install linux
sudo apt-get -t gutsy install libgl1-mesa-dri
</pre>
* Now reboot.

Probably now you have the weird effect that your GUI is scaled wrong and doesn't fill the full width of the monitor. To fix that, open your xorg.conf and make the following changes:
* Add the following section to your xorg.conf
<pre>
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "TVOutput"
Option "Disable" "true"
EndSection
</pre>
* Then in the "Device" section add the following line:
<pre>
Option "monitor-TV" "TVOutput"
</pre>

That should fix the scaling problem and now everything should work fine.

===ThinkFinger===
Ubuntu does not come with a package for thinkfinger. Downloading the most recent source and building it was simple enough: Download most recent version (0.3 at time of writing)
<pre>
sudo apt-get install libpam0g-dev libusb-dev
tar xvzf thinkfinger-0.3.tar.gz
cd thinkfinger-0.3/
./configure --with-securedir=/lib/security --with-birdir=/etc/pam_thinkfinger
make -j5 (hey its dual core!)
sudo make install
</pre>

Configuring it is easy as well, open /etc/pam.d/common-auth:
<pre>
auth sufficient pam_thinkfinger.so
auth required pam_unix.so try_first_pass nullok_secure
</pre>

Create the data directory and set your fingerprint:
<pre>
subo mkdir /etc/pam_thinkfinger
sudo tf-tool --add-user <username>
</pre>
It will all be setup. (I found this somewhere on the web, I wish I could give a source but I'm afraid I cant find it, thank you Anonymous!).

===HDAPS===
This seems to be working fine now, I just follow the step on [[How_to_protect_the_harddisk_through_APS]]. Using hdaps-gl does the inverse of the accelerometer, though it's not really a big deal, the harddrive protection should still work.

===WiFi===
If you have Intel 4965AGN WiFi card, you have to use ndiswrapper OR use backported kernel from Ubuntu Gutsy (Anybody have howto?) and use following:
http://kuscsik.blogspot.com/2007/06/how-to-install-intel-4965-wireless.html

'''Note:'''
Do not use the latest versions of iwlwifi and mac80211. For me with Gutsy mac80211-8.0.2 and iwlwifi-0.0.42 work with the latest firmware. No further modification needed.

If you have the Atheros card, Ubuntu should automatically install madwifi, which works out of the box
----
Works for me with iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.15, iwlwifi-0.0.34, and mac80211-8.0.1. The catch is, you need to patch your kernel with mac80211, which will fail at compile time with the stock Ubuntu sources. Worked for me with vanilla 2.6.21.5 sources patched for tp_smapi and hdaps protect. Make sure to disable CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS_RTNETLINK in your kernel config.

You can download what you need for for iwlwifi and mac80211 from
http://intellinuxwireless.org .--[[User:Kc8tbe|Kc8tbe]] 13:00, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Works for me with vanilla kernel v2.6.22.1, ucode 4.44.17, iwlwifi 0.1.2 and mac80211 9.0.2. --[[User:Mbsullivan|Mbsullivan]] 13:40, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

You can also use Kernel 2.6.22.9 and Ubuntu Modules 2.6.22.9 from Gutsy and you will not need to compile anything! Works very well.

===Keyboard/Apostrophe issues (Solved)===
When installing with the alternate CD, Ubuntu asks you if your keyboard as a character that appears to be a quotation mark (this character: "). If you're using a US English keyboard, say no; the character is actually an umlaut. [[User:SteveSims|SteveSims]] 02:15, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

My apostrophe key outputs ´ instead of '. I went to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard and could not figure out how to fix it. [[User:SteveSims|SteveSims]] 21:50, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

:Try switching your keyboard layout to US-Classic, and putting it on the top of the list. After you do that, it works perfectly. --[[User:Adamacious|Adamacious]] 04:29, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

::There is no "US Classic" option. Here's what I have: 
[[Image:Keyboard_options.png]] 
[[User:SteveSims|SteveSims]] 02:17, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

:::It started working, even though I changed nothing. I'm running it as a Macintosh US English keyboard. [[User:SteveSims|SteveSims]] 17:20, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

===Can you hear me now?.... What? (Solved!)===
:'''''Note: This section assumes a high level of technical proficiency. Please fix it.'''''
::*<s>At [http://www.alsa-project.org www.asla-project.org], did you download only alsa-driver-1.0.14? That and alsa-lib-1.0.14a?</s>
:::Download alsa-driver, alsa-kernel, alsa-lib, and alsa-utils, according to [http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/AlsaCVS http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/AlsaCVS]. Other sources, however, say only the driver is necessary. Perhaps alsa-project.org simply recommends the other two?
::*''How'' did you compile it from source? ''How'' did you add the patch?
::*In short, please explain ''how'' you did these things in addition to just telling us ''what'' you did. I´m not trying to be rude but seriously, not all Linux users are programmers ;). Thanks. [[User:SteveSims|SteveSims]] 22:19, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
After upgrading to 1.0.14 I still had no sound, and this took about a week to solved (though it was so sadly obvious though). Just upgrading to alsa 1.0.14 will not be enough, there were a few patches released right after the release that fix the Thinkpad's. The reason I missed this was because it was the same day so the release of 1.0.14!

First make sure these packages are installed (System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager) : automake, autoconfig, cvs, libtool, python-dev, build-essential

Then download the source code to the alsa-driver and apply these patches: (links to the revisions)

* [http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa-kernel/rev/958b39f3e8dd Fix Oops with AD1984 thinkpad model]
* [http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa-kernel/rev/47ca87407c84 Fix AD1984 basic model]
* [http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa-kernel/rev/ca37aeeeb0ea Fix Thinkpad X61/T61 outputs]

'''Please use CVS version of ALSA instead. All of these patches are committed'''. The link to the CVS version of ALSA is dead[http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/AlsaCVS].

After doing a make and make install reboot your computer (or rrmmod snd-hda-intel && modprobe snd-hda-intel). And run alsamixer (for me it only works as root atm). If you can´t find alsamixer, you can run it in the terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) by entering ''alsamixer''. You will have to play with the settings a bit. Make sure the speaker option is not muted and leave the Internal Mic Boost at 0, other wise you will have a really loud microphone feedback sort of sound constantly.

I had to chmod -R 777 /dev/snd/ to get everything work for now. (THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT WAY TO DO IT, IT WILL NOT STAY BETWEEN REBOOTS!).

Audio playback should then work, audio capture (microphone) doesn't seem to work, but I am probably not going to try and fix it, I don't use the capture so I am not concerned with that at the moment.
'''Update:''' With ALSA CVS, microphone seems to work

If you can't hear the mic boost mic settings. Here are my settings at KMix
Output
Mic - low
Mic Boost - full
Input
Mic boost [enable] - medium
capture [enable] - medium

works great with Skype. Also you can use the 'mic level meter' on KRecord to check the mic

In Gnome, default channel mapped to thinkpad volume buttons is MIC, which is bad. Go to ''System->Preferences->Sound->Default mixer tracks'' to change it

'''Please note''' that internal speakers doesn't work with ALSA CVS. Use the headphone jack. Solution?

----
When starting alsamixer over the terminal I couldn't activate the speakers and only had sound over the headphone. However, I figured out how to easily activate the speakers:
* Right-click on your microphone icon in the top panel.
* (If "Mute" is activated, deactivate it. I had that at the beginning and was confused since in alsa you don't really realize it.)
* Click on "Open Volume Control"
* Change to the tab "Switches" and activate the option for speaker.
That should be enough to make it work.

I tried those patches, it didnt work for me. But this python script did: http://www.klabs.be/~fpiat/linux/debian/Etch_on_Thinkpad_T61.html#Sound .. apparently if you make the PC speaker play constantly, you cant hear it but you can then hear sound. Hopefully gutsy will fix this :/ --[[User:Rubin|Rubin]] 07:18, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

==Suspend==
Suspending doesn't work by default. It succesfully suspends, but after resuming, Kernel panic occurs. I didn't test hibernate.
I managed to get suspend to ram to work by using this script:

#!/bin/sh

# if launched through a lid event and lid is open, do nothing
echo "$1" | grep "button/lid" && grep -q open /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state && exit 0

# remove USB 1.1 driver
rmmod uhci_hcd
rmmod ehci_hcd

# sync filesystem and clock
sync
/sbin/hwclock --systohc

# switch to console
FGCONSOLE=`fgconsole`
chvt 6

# go to sleep
sleep 5 && echo -n "mem" > /sys/power/state

# readjust the clock (it might be off a bit after suspend)
/sbin/hwclock --adjust
/sbin/hwclock --hctosys

# reload USB 1.1 driver
modprobe uhci_hcd
modprobe ehci_hcd

# turn on the backlight and switch back to X
chvt $FGCONSOLE

It's very similar to script posted on thinkwiki, but I had to add ehci_hcd to removed modules and remove some radeon stuff (when using Nvidia)

'''Problems''' the problem with this suspend script is, that after resuming, the laptop is incredibly slow. Applications start about 20 seconds, Firefox is lagging. But processor doesn't run at highest frequency, nothing seems unusual. '''Suggestions?'''

When using this script, my USB ports are 'dead' after resume (i.e. nothing connected to it gets any power). I have commented out 'rmmod ehci_hcd' and 'modprobe ehci_hcd' lines, to make the USB ports active after a suspend/resume cycle. (this is using nvidia card)

----
Suspend and hibernate work out-of-the-box for me with the 2.6.21.5 kernel, except that you need to put acpi_sleep=s3_bios in the kernel command line (i.e. at the end of each kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst).
--[[User:Kc8tbe|Kc8tbe]] 13:03, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, with 2.6.21.5 + acpi_sleep=s3_bios, laptop suspends, but resume fails - machine locks up. This is with nvidia 140. Same result when doing it at console. When I resume, I hear a beep and the machine hangs. Have to hard-reset. Suggestions?

Some things seem to break after suspend for me, like network connections time out randomly, cdrom stops working etc. Running 'sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart' seems to solve it for the most part.

==Brightness==
Changing brightness doesn't work at all. There are many issues. I tried Gutsy and still the same (even worse)

Not a real solution, but if using the vesa driver, brightness control works. ''--Daniel06'' 11:58, 4 July 2007

doesnt work for me with vesa or intel --[[User:Rubin|Rubin]] 06:19, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

It works fine on mine and I have built-in graphics on my motherboard. [[User:SteveSims|SteveSims]] 02:19, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

=== one idea ===
echo "up" >/proc/acpi/ibm/brightness
...works. as does 'down' and 'level x' where x is 1-7. But how to tie that into the buttons? Seems they are currently using something else in /proc that doesnt exist for us. --[[User:Rubin|Rubin]] 06:19, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

=== yet another idea ===

You can add the Gnome power manager brightness applet to the gnome panel, which gives you a GUI tool to do the job, rather than hardware buttons. I don't know about KDE or other window managers. --[[User:Atoponce|Atoponce]] 13:07 22, Aug 2007

=== Another solution for Brightness, using xbacklight and laptop-mode ===

While the hardware buttons still don't work, I have a solution that will automatically raise and lower the backlight when plugged in or on battery.

First, make sure Gnome isn't trying to set the brightness, by going to System > Preferences > Power Management. In the On Battery Power tab, set "Dim display brightness by" to 0%.

Next, install xbacklight.

sudo apt-get install xbacklight

You can manually set the backlight by using "xbacklight -set <number from 1-100>". Note that by using xbacklight, you can make the backlight go brighter or dimmer than normally allowed by Windows or Ubuntu.

To automate brightness changes, first enable laptop-mode

sudo nano /etc/default/acpi-support

Scroll to the bottom and change ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE to true

ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=true

Set laptop mode to start automatically

sudo update-rc.d laptop-mode multiuser

Edit laptop-mode.conf to automate brightness changes. Scroll down to LCD brightness settings. Modify the section to read as follows:

CONTROL_BRIGHTNESS=1

BATT_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="xbacklight -set 20"
LM_AC_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="xbacklight -set 100"
NOLM_AC_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="xbacklight -set 100"
BRIGHTNESS_OUTPUT="/dev/null"

Note: You can use any value from 1 to 100 after -set, I used 20 and 100 as examples. After this, start the laptop-mode daemon, and test if it works. You may have to restart acpid as well.

sudo /etc/init.d/laptop-mode start
sudo /etc/init.d/acpid restart

==Webcam==
The webcam in T61 is some sort of UVC camera: Found UVC 1.00 device Integrated Camera (17ef:1004). The module loads out of the box. I tested the camera using:
Luvcview: http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Investigation/uvc/luvcview-20070512.tar.gz
Just compile and run using ./luvcview -f yuv (JPG format doesn't work)

I also tried gqcam and webcam, but both doesn't work (first SEGFAULTs, second prints Invalid argument)

luvcview has a button to take pictures. Place your mouse over the buttons at the bottom of the window, and their function is revealed in the title bar. Unfortunately, the button for avi capture does not seem to work (although it does tell you what the video framerate is, which is helpful).

To capture a video stream, run ./luvcview -f yuv -S
To play back the video stream, run mplayer -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo fps=7:w=320:h=240:yuy2 stream.raw

==64bit systems issues==
If you are running 64bit Ubuntu, you will face some problems wit 32bit only proprietary applications. Most of them can be solved.

===Firefox & Flash===
You can use 32bit version of Firefox (see google), or use http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/projects/nspluginwrapper/ nspluginwrapper] which i prefer:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk linux32 lib32asound2 alien
Now download both nspluginwrapper rpms (Plugin + Viewer) and convert them:
sudo alien nspluginwrapper*.rpm
sudo dpkg -i nspluginwrapper*.deb

Download Adobe Flash Player: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
tar -xvzf install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
cd install_flash_player_9_linux
sudo install libflashplayer.so flashplayer.xpt /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so
cd ~/.mozilla/plugins/
sudo install npwrapper.libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/
This howto is taken from [http://webzine.smehlik.net/64bit-ubuntu-adobe-flash-plugin-pomoci-nspluginwrapper/ Smehlik Webzine (in Czech)]

===Skype===
Download Skype for Ubuntu Feisty
Use this commandlibdbus, libqt4-core, libqt4-gui, libsigc++ to determine missing libraries:
ldd /usr/bin/skype | grep not
It should be these:
libdbus, libqt4-core, libqt4-gui, libsigc++ (2.0 version)
Download them from http://packages.ubuntu.com (32bit versions!)
mkdir testlibs
dpkg-deb --extract <deb file> testlibs
Now copy everything from testlibs to /usr/lib32
cp -r testlibs/usr/lib/* /usr/lib32
Freedom lovers are advised to avoid proprietary systems like Skype, however. Centralized directories and signalling architectures can't be good for your health.

==Overall==
I initially had some big problems getting this working, but now its working quite well. The wifi card worked at startup (uses madwifi) and I am happy because I don't seem to need any proprietary software to run this system.

Installing Debian Lenny on a ThinkPad T61

2007-08-21T02:47:13Z

Atoponce: /* WiFi: Intel 4965AGN */

== Hardware ==

ThinkPad T61 7663-13G

== Overview ==

== Kernel Configuration ==
* Version: 2.6.22

=== SATA Issues ===
Currently, SATA mode is set to "Compatibility" in the BIOS and I'm using the ATA_PIIX driver, which finds both the hard and the cdrom drive. In AHCI mode, the cdrom is not found. I haven't found any information on that, yet.

Running in the AHCI mode worked for me - the hard drive showed up as /dev/sda and the cdrom as /dev/hda. K3b finds it and uses it fine.

=== IRQ Issues ===
Occasionally, I get messages like
<pre>
irq 23: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)
[<c>] __report_bad_irq+0x24/0x80
[<c0156b11>] note_interrupt+0x251/0x290
[<c0155d65>] handle_IRQ_event+0x25/0x50
[<c015725b>] handle_fasteoi_irq+0xbb/0xf0
[<c0106bfb>] do_IRQ+0x3b/0x70
[<c0104b53>] common_interrupt+0x23/0x28
[<f>] acpi_processor_idle+0x21e/0x3e2 [processor]
[<f>] acpi_processor_idle+0x0/0x3e2 [processor]
[<c>] cpu_idle+0x84/0xe0
[<c0387a3f>] start_kernel+0x2ef/0x370
[<c03871f0>] unknown_bootoption+0x0/0x260
=======================
handlers:
[<f888b530>] (usb_hcd_irq+0x0/0x60 [usbcore])
Disabling IRQ #23
</pre>

Unfortunately, adding irqpoll to the boot command line only leads to frequent losses of Ethernet connectivity.

==== Temporary Workaround ====
When the message appears, USB devices will start to behave weird (USB keyboards & mice lag etc). Unloading and loading ehci-hcd fixes this problem, for now.

==== Temporary Workaround 2 ====
Adding noirqdebug to the kernel commandline at least removes the messages. Let's hope for a BIOS update from Lenovo.

=== Custom Patches ===
ThinkPad ACPI Extras v0.15-20070723 ([http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/]). With the latest version, brightness control works under X11.

== Sound: AD1984 ==
I checked out both alsa-driver and alsa-kernel from the repositories ([http://www.alsa-project.org/download.php]) and built the modules for my kernel. After installation, sound (both headphone jack & internal speakers) works just fine. Haven't checked the MIC yet.

Debian users (both Stable/Etch and Testing) can use the small script [http://www.klabs.be/~fpiat/linux/debian/Lenny_on_Thinkpad_T61/#Sound 2] i wrote to patch and build an alsa module package (with module-assistant). --Fpiat 00:52,20 August 2007 (UTC)

== Graphics: ==
===NVidia Quadro NVS 140M ===
* Driver: nvidia
* Version: 100.14.11

The Debian packages work just fine. There seem to be some (known) issues with framebuffers console. OpenGL applications and games work just fine, Darwinia ([http://darwinia.co.uk Darwinia] and Defcon ([http://www.everybody-dies.com]) run smoothly at 1440x900.

I installed the drivers using ENVY. It worked, just download the latest package at http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html, and run it, the driver's installation it's quite easy.

==== Problems ====
With 100.14.09 and RenderAccel/Compositing, I occasionally got hard locks after a couple of minutes, not even SysRq can reboot the machine. Only the NumLock LED is blinking, and no suspicious entries are in the logs. With 100.14.11 and no RenderAccel, the lockups are less frequently. I'm still trying to figure out which configuration makes them go away.

* I've tried to pci=nommcconf on the kernel commandline, didn't help.

===Intel 965GM===
* Driver: intel

For versions of the intel driver earlier than 2.1.1, the following is required for proper display scaling:

<pre>
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "TV"
Option "Ignore" "true"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
Option "DPMS"
DisplaySize 332 207
EndSection
</pre>

This bug was fixed in xf86-video-intel 2.1.1.

== WiFi: Intel 4965AGN ==
* Driver: iwlwifi
* Version: 0.0.34

Since mac80211 is already a part of 2.6.22, only the [http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi iwlwifi module] needs to be compiled. Following the instructions in the source package was sufficient. The module loads & finds some hardware and I can successfully scan for networks. Connecting to our local WiFi access point using WPA works just fine.

:How did you get this to work? I am following the INSTALL file to the letter, and I'm getting errors. Thanks. Aug 21, 2007 02:38 UTC [[user:Atoponce|Atoponce]]

== WiFi: ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wi-Fi wireless LAN Mini-PCIe US/EMEA/LA/ANZ (Atheros) ==

Using madwifi which is very easy or downloading the modules from the page and usig ndviswrapper(not recommended, uncharted waters). Just add
"deb ftp://ftp.au.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free"
"deb-src ftp://ftp.au.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free"
to the repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list and;

then as root:
# apt-get update
# apt-get install madwifi-source
# apt-get install madwifi-tools
# m-a prepare
# m-a a-i madwifi

then its all done, worked for me. For more information http://madwifi.org/

== Bluetooth ==
My Logitech Bluetooth mouse works.

== Fingerprint Sensor ==
Works with [http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net ThinkFinger].
