Installing Gentoo on a ThinkPad 770E

2005-03-18T18:28:14Z

Bashusr: /* Power management */

==Installing Gentoo Linux on a Thinkpad 770E==

This is the gentoo installation guide for the linux Thinkpad 770E. This is not meant to replace the gentoo handbook, but rather, as a guide to help fine tune certain options. Please refer to the gentoo handbook, gentoo docs/wiki and the gentoo forums for more help.

===Partitioning===
Until linux supports ibm thinkpad controls like ps2.exe, it is recommended you keep a small bootable partition (10-100MB for a DOS partition). You will need this if you want to change or find out irq, mem address, and dma settings.

===Kernel configuration===
For '''PCMCIA''' support you have to load the ''yenta_socket'' module and change the configuration file <tt>/etc/conf.d/pcmcia</tt> (replace <tt>PCIC=i82365</tt> with <tt>PCIC=yenta_socket</tt>).

For '''Frame Buffers''' support, do '''NOT''' load any frame buffer drivers besides vesafb. Do NOT even load vesafb-tng. Even though the video card is a trident card, the tridentfb does not work. It will produce a flickery screen. All you want to do is compile vesafb into your kernel or as a module, then add vga=791 to your boot line. Do not even bother with video=mtrr or any other options. VGA=791 is all you need for 1024x768 frame buffers support.

===Sound support===
'''FIX'''

I have since been able to get sound working on my 770E, but I had to use the OSS drivers. The procedure I used was to boot into a windows partition and use IBM's ps2.exe utility to determine irq, port, and dma information. After I got this information, I had to reinitialize the hardware from the BIOS before the sound would work in linux. (Hold F1 while booting to get to the BIOS menu) After the reinitialization, I modprobed:

modprobe cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=9

I believe these are the factory default settings. Please insert your settings from the ps2.exe reading. If modprobe completed with no errors, try playing a sound and it should work.

----

All 770's should get sound using the ALSA snd_cs4232 module, although they have a cs4610 chip. Similar to [[Problem with broken sound on ThinkPad 600]]. Try
modprobe snd-cs4232 port=0x530 cport=0x538 fm_port=0x388 irq=5 dma1=1 dma2=0

----

I tried using those parameters on a 770E and I get a "no such device" error when modprobe'ing. If anyone finds the right parameters for Alsa, please insert it here.

===Power management===

You had BETTER install acpi first thing. From my tests, the fans in the 770E will '''NOT''' turn on by itself, even if it reaches 90 degrees celsius. I believe the 770E's cooling system is completely software controlled through acpi. To turn on the fan(s), modprobe acpi, and type:
echo 0 > /proc/acpi/fan/FN00/state

I don't actually know how many fans are in there, but I know that when I did not turn on the fans manually, acpi -V showed readings as hot as 93 degrees Celsius when compiling and CPU intensive operations. I ended up writing a cron script to run every minute and check if the temperature is over a certain point. I do not know what's a safe temperature, so I set it low at 45 degrees celsius.

===X11 configuration===
Follow the Gentoo Xorg howto. It should work from there.

Installing Gentoo on a ThinkPad 770E

==Installing Gentoo Linux on a Thinkpad 770E==

This is the gentoo installation guide for the linux Thinkpad 770E. This is not meant to replace the gentoo handbook, but rather, as a guide to help fine tune certain options. Please refer to the gentoo handbook, gentoo docs/wiki and the gentoo forums for more help.

===Partitioning===
Until linux supports ibm thinkpad controls like ps2.exe, it is recommended you keep a small bootable partition (10-100MB for a DOS partition). You will need this if you want to change or find out irq, mem address, and dma settings.

===Kernel configuration===
For '''PCMCIA''' support you have to load the ''yenta_socket'' module and change the configuration file <tt>/etc/conf.d/pcmcia</tt> (replace <tt>PCIC=i82365</tt> with <tt>PCIC=yenta_socket</tt>).

For '''Frame Buffers''' support, do '''NOT''' load any frame buffer drivers besides vesafb. Do NOT even load vesafb-tng. Even though the video card is a trident card, the tridentfb does not work. It will produce a flickery screen. All you want to do is compile vesafb into your kernel or as a module, then add vga=791 to your boot line. Do not even bother with video=mtrr or any other options. VGA=791 is all you need for 1024x768 frame buffers support.

===Sound support===
''I currently have not been able to get sound working for the IBM Thinkpad 770E. Please edit this if you find a fix to sound for the IBM Thinkpad 770E.''

'''FIX'''
I have since been able to get sound working on my 770E, but I had to use the OSS drivers. The procedure I used was to boot into a windows partition and use IBM's ps2.exe utility to determine irq, port, and dma information. After I got this information, I had to reinitialize the hardware from the BIOS before the sound would work in linux. (Hold F1 while booting to get to the BIOS menu) After the reinitialization, I modprobed:

modprobe cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=9

I believe these are the factory default settings. Please insert your settings from the ps2.exe reading. If modprobe completed with no errors, try playing a sound and it should work.

All 770's should get sound using the ALSA snd_cs4232 module, although they have a cs4610 chip. Similar to [[Problem with broken sound on ThinkPad 600]]. Try
modprobe snd-cs4232 port=0x530 cport=0x538 fm_port=0x388 irq=5 dma1=1 dma2=0

Hei,

sorry for interfering with your work, i know the intended structure of the Specs page is not all logical.

For the howto: I'll introduce a Graphics section in the Driver Installation HOWTO page ("HOWTO - Driver Installation"), you can create a link there the like of [[How to install framebuffer drivers]]. If there are special things about the 770E that are not generally valid for other ThinkPads as well, please state them as notes, maybe in a separate section. If it's all 770E specific, think about if it might be more sensible to put the HOWTO onto an 770E Installation page.

Hello,

It's pretty much exclusive for the 770/maybe 660 line... I still can't figure out how to start a new section...

BashUsr

Sections are those, look at the source of this page to see how it's done...

Look at this page: [[Installation instructions for the ThinkPad 770E]], go into edit mode and you will see a prepared link within an HTML comment. Remove the comment, adjust the distribution (compare Categories->Distributions), save and click on Installation to start your page.

sorry,

i didn't mean "session" as in wiki session... but i mean a "new page"... I think it is best that i just stick a "Howto get framebuffers Working" under the category of 770E. How would I do that, and would that work well with the scheme that you have going?

I added some ibm flavour to the main stylesheet. What do you think? :-)

Looks good.
But I'd remove the stripes on the left, they look a bit too IBMish for my taste.

I just added pictures to the Category pages. Looks nice. The pictures are partly from IBMs page and they have a disclaimer that says you should make a curtasy by ibm.... statement when using them. We don't use them in their original quality and you can find smallscale versions all over the net. However, we should maybe place some credits page somewhere to include this curtasy line there.

Good work! Please continue! :-)

Hi Wyrfel,

thanks for the great logo! As you may have seen, I put in in place.
Unfortunately there is still no price available for the contest winner, but maybe this will change.

The honour is enough. ;-)

I can send you the files as PNGs with alpha, they should look a little better then.
Also, I could scale the logo to be a little smaller so that it fits better.
I'm also working on a page redesign with a bigger black header to contain the logo (the bar would need to be about a 100 pixels in height).

What do you think?
