<p>Crowley12: Hotswap</p> <hr /> <div>== Hotswap ==<br /> <br /> i really dont understand the thinkwiki hotspap howto, cant we put the most important in here, if people who got hotswapping right can show their fixes with ubuntu?<br /> <br /> Hi, I'm new here.<br /> I just got a T61, and discovered that the instructions for enabling the trackpoint [[Installing_Ubuntu_7.10_%28Gutsy_Gibbon%29_on_a_ThinkPad_T61#Trackpad_scrolling | which worked for 7.10]] no longer work in 8.04. This seems to be due to the change to X.org 7.3. Does someone want to add that to the page, or know of a fix? [[User:Zedlander|Zedlander]] 07:56, 6 April 2008 (CEST)<br /> <br /> The Hotswap-problem can be solved by booting the kernel with &quot;libata.noacpi=1&quot;. This can be done under Ubuntu by adding &quot;options libata noacpi=1&quot; to /etc/modprobe.d/options and running &quot;update-initramfs -u&quot;.<br /> See also [http://www.mail-archive.com/ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg01204.html this discussion] --[[User:Crowley12|Crowley12]] 21:49, 2 June 2008 (CEST)<br /> <br /> == Trackpoint ==<br /> <br /> The trackpoint seems to be working in the latest beta on my T61 without issue.<br /> <br /> == Article purpose ==<br /> <br /> Should this article be divided into an upgrade section and a fresh install section? Should there be an upgrade article and a fresh install article?<br /> <br /> == Hibernation == <br /> As for me there is a big problem with hibernation on Nvidia enabled Thinkpads. After resume, screen is covered with black and green patteren with a half of the slash screen in the background.. After 30 s computer reboots. This issue still persists under stable 8.04 (I'm using hardy from tribe 4).<br /> --[[User:Barteq|Barteq]] 21:43, 6 May 2008 (CEST)<br /> <br /> It is mentioned[http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=1625535&amp;postcount=17] that the new 173.08 Nvidia driver does solve the hibernate problem, however since it is a beta driver, it will not be included in EnvyNG, so anyone who want to try it out need to install the driver manually.<br /> <br /> Same thing on this driver.. Unable to wake up from hibernation. <br /> Additional it doesn't (yet?) support &lt;nowiki&gt;&quot;OnDemandVBlankInterrupts&quot; &quot;true&quot;&lt;/nowiki&gt; xorg option making 120 wakeups / s in powertop, while second monitor attached..<br /> --[[User:Barteq|Barteq]] 21:43, 6 May 2008 (CEST)<br /> <br /> Any confirmation that 173.08 does fix hibernation?<br /> <br /> With the new driver 173.14.05 hibernation seems to work. But during resume these black and green patterns still appear. <br /> Suspend to ram works only partially. Sometimes the screen remains blank, even with the hal-fix applied. Any ideas?<br /> --[[User:Mstephan|Mstephan]] 10:02, 30 May 2008 (CEST)<br /> <br /> Suspend to ram works still fine under the newest driver. I haven't checked hibernation, but my kernel supports tux-on-ice - so results may be different. <br /> --[[User:Barteq|Barteq]] 03:50, 2 June 2008 (CEST)<br /> <br /> == Docking Station ==<br /> Any luck on getting the DVI port on the advanced mini dock working?<br /> <br /> On nvidia card with binary drivers it works fine. Even while writing this ;)<br /> Use nvidia-settings or change boot display in bios to vga+dvi<br /> --[[User:Barteq|Barteq]] 03:50, 2 June 2008 (CEST)<br /> <br /> == HDAPS protection ==<br /> Best way to use it is http://zen-sources.org/ kernel. Works like a charm. The only bad thing is hat hdapsd uses 50 wakeups/s so it consumes battery more quickly. <br /> <br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;<br /> [ 7352.997416] scsi_protect_queue(): head parked..<br /> [ 7355.762197] scsi_unprotect_queue(): No pending I/O, re-enabling power management..<br /> &lt;/nowiki&gt;</div>
