Installing Fedora 17 on a ThinkPad W530

Daudo: /* optimize power management */

= THIS IS WORK IN PROGRESS =

= Installation =

The [[:Category:W530|Lenovo W530]] I am installing on (2247-HJ5) came without operating system, so I cannot comment on how easy or difficult it is to add Fedora next to a possibly preexisting Windows installation. The same applies to the new, upcoming UEFI "secure boot" mechanisms, at least on my box they were just disabled in the BIOS and caused no issues whatsoever.

== preinstallation considerations ==

In my case, installing {{Fedora}} was extremely smooth, nothing special to report here.

=== Intel vs. NVidia ===

The W530 is one of those laptops coming with the [[Switchable Graphics|Optimus™ Technology]], allowing to switch between a low power [[Intel_HD_Graphics|Intel HD GPU]] ([[Intel HD 4000]] in particular) and a high power [[NVIDIA Quadro K1000M]] GPU, with the latter providing much better graphics performance but also consuming much more power.

In the past with my old [[:Category:W500|W500]] I found the Intel GPU working in there quite sufficient and never used the ATI card, so I initially decided to disable the NVidia GPU in the BIOS and install with the "Integrated Only". That worked quite well, but as it seems, the Intel GPU now only operates with the laptop display and does not drive any external monitors.

So if you want external monitors, you have to use the NVidia GPU.

== postinstallation tasks ==

=== optimize power management ===

Now that I am somewhat forced to use the NVidia GPU my interest in optimizing power management when running on battery is huge. So, the best way I have found to tweak the box easily is to use the TLP tools. Install the tool as described [http://linrunner.de/en/tlp/docs/tlp-linux-advanced-power-management.html here] (yum based). The installation is described for F16, but it works identical for F17.

The akmod-tp_smapi package containg the tp_smapi kernel module does not work with my W530, so I uninstalled it.

I tweaked the following things:

* /etc/default/grub
add "i915.i915_enable_rc6=1" to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line

* /etc/default/tlp
- the lifetime of modern batteries is longer, when they are not constantly charged to 100%
# Main battery (values in %)
START_CHARGE_THRESH_BAT0=75
STOP_CHARGE_THRESH_BAT0=95

- When connected to a LAN, I want to disable both WIFI and WWAN (and reenable them, when unplugged)
# Radio devices to disable on connect
DEVICES_TO_DISABLE_ON_LAN_CONNECT="wifi wwan"
#DEVICES_TO_DISABLE_ON_WIFI_CONNECT="wwan"

== noisy fan ==

At the time of writing (Oct 22, 2012) there appears a BIOS bug preventing the fans to spin down even when absolutely no load is present and the temperature for the system is just around 30° to 40°C. No matter what you set in the BIOS, the fans will always work with about 2700rpm. [http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/W-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/W530-fan-noise-intolerable/td-p/817907 Lenovo is working on the issue], but for the time being you have to live with a rather loud laptop.

One "workaround" I've found however was to enable the fan control features of the thinkpad_acpi kernel module. In order to do so, check the [[How_to_control_fan_speed|How to control fan speed]] page on the wiki.

== no external displays with the Intel GPU ==

As explained in the preinstall considerations, the Intel GPU on the W530 cannot drive any external monitors. So you are basically forced to use NVidia if you use external monitors.

Switchable Graphics

2012-10-22T15:45:22Z

Daudo: /* ThinkPad models which may have this feature */

Select ThinkPads feature switchable graphics, where a low power consumption integrated GPU and high performance dedicated GPU is combined and you have the ability to switch between them, sacrificing either performance or battery life.

In Windows XP this switching requires a logout/login, while in Vista and Windows 7 there is support for runtime switching.

Under Linux, the switching so far had to be done by entering BIOS setup and changing between "Internal" (low power, integrated), "External" (high performance, discrete) or "Switchable" (OS selectable) options.

Depending on which Linux version you use, you could have the following effects
* On Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) BIOS setting has to be either on Internal or External, not Switchable.
* On Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) the Integrated Intel card works with both Integrated or Switchable set

== Switchable Graphics and Docks ==

ThinkPads with switchable graphics can only drive DVI or DisplayPort outputs on Docks by using the high-performance discrete graphics card, the integrated GPU is just not attached to the DVI or DisplayPort outputs (though VGA output through the dock is possible).

== Improving Battery-life with Optimus ==
ThinkPads with NVidia Optimus graphics, have been well known to have significantly better battery-life in Windows than in Linux, even when Linux only uses the internal graphics. The reason is that the NVidia GPU is not automatically powered off when it is not used. So to get optimal battery-life in Linux on ThinkPad with Optimus, you need to switch it off manually (or by a script).

First you need to enable access to vga-switcheroo settings, for that you need to mount the debugfs. You can do that by adding the following line to {{path|/etc/fstab}}:
none /sys/kernel/debug debugfs defaults 0 0

After mounting that you can now access {{path|/usr/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch}}.

See which GPU is currently active (look for '+'), and which ones are powered (look for 'pwr'):
{{cmdroot|cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch}}

To force it to use the internal graphics write:
{{cmdroot|echo 'IGD' > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch}}

To force it to use the discrete GPU:
{{cmdroot|echo 'DES' > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch}}

Most importantly, to poweroff the currently unused GPU, run:
{{cmdroot|echo 'OFF' > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch}}

This will greatly improve to your average battery-life on ThinkPads T420 if you only use intel Xorg drivers.

== Development status ==
David Arlie has been working on switching between GPUs without having to reboot, and changing BIOS settings. An initial version of a new driver (vga_switcheroo) has been merged in the 2.6.34 kernel. This driver allows switching between graphics cards, but requires that the Xserver is restarted. Full seamless runtime switching support will require significant Xserver work.

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODAyMg

A script to switch between ATI discrete graphics with the fglrx driver and Intel integrated graphics with xorg driver through rebooting and selection in the bios is posted here. The user must reboot, but no further configuration is needed as the script detects the card used and copies the correct libraries and configuration file.

http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Auto_detect_drivers_for_switchable_graphics

It has been discovered that on a W500 running Windows 7 64-bit that the switch can be invoked using one of the two following commands (depending on which chipset is currently in use)

{{cmd|C:\PROGRA~2\ThinkPad\UTILIT~1\PWMUIAux.exe /HighPerformanceGpu |}}

{{cmd|C:\PROGRA~2\ThinkPad\UTILIT~1\PWMUIAux.exe /EnergySavingGpu |}}

A small utility has been developed to switch between the chipsets with the ThinkVantage button, using Windows SetupAPI to detect the current chipset. More information and download of source and binary available here: http://entropicassembly.com/thinkpadgraphics/

Over time, different ThinkPads have used different power connectors. You can use a higher Amperage rated power supply then your ThinkPad needs, as long as the physical connector is correct. But you should not use a lower Amperage power supply on a ThinkPad needing more Amperage. Doing so will overheat the power supply, and might cause issues such as screen flicker.

{{HINT|In case you cannot find your Model ThinkPad listed, or you wish to double check, you can find the required power information on a label on the bottom of your ThinkPad}}

{{NOTE|The Amperage's listed below are the OUTPUT values for the AC adapter, which should be equal or greater then what your ThinkPad requires}}

All current Thinkpads require 20 Volt DC input. See also the official Lenovo {{IBMDOCURL|MIGR-4tcmcu|page for power adapters}}.

This AC adapter has the same diameter as the usual 20V AC adapters, but there is an extra plastic knob on one side of the connector. It is not round any more, that is, you can only plug it in one particular orientation. The extra knob prevents one from using the AC adapter on any other Thinkpads.

Docks allow users to connect a variety of external peripherals simply by attaching their ThinkPad to the dock.
|}
==Linux support==
With recent distributions, docking and undocking should function out of the box. You can monitor this by running {{cmdroot|udevadm monitor}} and when you dock or press the undock button you should see a flurry of events.

There are some issues though

====No event on undock====

In some cases you may not get any events on undock. This is due to the ACPI dock drivers only registering the first logical Dock port they encounter and in some rare cases there may be more then one, such as on a ThinkPad X40 with ThinkPad X4 Dock. Patches are [https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15521 available], and are merged in 2.6.34.

====Filesystem corruption====

Pressing the undock button will immediately unplug all dock attached devices. This can easily lead to problems, for instance if you have a USB or Ultrabay storage device attached to the dock and have a filesystem mounted RW, this can easily lead to filesystem corruption.

The solution for now is to always make sure any storage devices attached to the dock are unmounted BEFORE pressing the undock button.
====External display issues====
{{NOTE|This only works for devices that register themselves as a dock through ACPI, it does not work for port replicators which are hidden to the OS.}}
{{NOTE|Newer series 3 docks no longer register themselves as a dock, but instead behave like a port replicator, as such the below method does not work. They do however cause a key event on dock and undock which could be used as a trigger, but for now these key events are not exposed by the thinkpad-acpi driver before kernel 3.0}}
Docking or undocking will also not change the display configuration, which can lead to issues when your undock and your screensaver decided to put the unlock dialog on the secondary display, effectively requiring you to unlock the screensaver blind, before you can press Fn-F7 to restore your display setup to ThinkPad (LVDS) only. This last issue can be resolved by creating a custom udev rule and script as shown below. This script can also be used to take other actions on dock/undock such as automatically configuring your external display on dock.

create a file {{Path|/etc/udev/rules.d/81-thinkpad-dock.rules}}
KERNEL=="dock.0", ACTION=="change", RUN+="/usr/local/sbin/thinkpad-dock.sh"

Then create the file {{Path|/usr/local/sbin/thinkpad-dock.sh}}
#!/bin/sh
# wait for the dock state to change
sleep 0.5
DOCKED=$(cat /sys/devices/platform/dock.0/docked)
case "$DOCKED" in
"0")
#undocked event - lets remove all connected outputs apart from LVDS
for output in $(/usr/bin/xrandr -d :0.0 --verbose|grep " connected"|grep -v LVDS|awk '{print $1}')
do
/usr/bin/xrandr -d :0.0 --output $output --off
done
;;
"1")
#docked event - sample will created extended desktop with DVI1 to the right of LVDS1
#/usr/bin/xrandr -d :0.0 --output DVI1 --right-of LVDS1 --auto
;;
esac
exit 0
And set it executable
chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/thinkpad-dock.sh

{{NOTE|The output names shown above are specific to the Intel video drivers. For the ATI Radeon driver they are different. But you best check your output names by running xrandr manually, and adjusting the script appropriately for your needs. The undock event should work on any ThinkPad where the graphics driver supports RandR and the ThinkPad LCD has LVDS in the name.}}

Part of this is based on information from a thread on the Ubuntu [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1076486 forums]

Installing Fedora 17 on a ThinkPad W530

2012-10-22T15:34:41Z

= THIS IS WORK IN PROGRESS =

= Installation =

The W530 I am installing on (2247-HJ5) came without operating system, so I cannot comment on how easy or difficult it is to add Fedora next to a possibly preexisting Windows installation. The same applies to the new, upcoming UEFI "secure boot" mechanisms, at least on my box they were just disabled in the BIOS and caused no issues whatsoever.

== preinstallation considerations ==

In my case, installing {{Fedora}} was extremely smooth, nothing special to report here.

=== Intel vs. NVidia ===

The W530 is one of those laptops coming with the [[Switchable Graphics|Optimus™ Technology]], allowing to switch between a low power [[Intel_HD_Graphics|Intel HD GPU]] ([[Intel HD 4000]] in particular) and a high power [[NVIDIA Quadro K1000M]] GPU, with the latter providing much better graphics performance but also consuming much more power.

In the past with my old W500 I found the Intel GPU working in there quite sufficient and never used the ATI card, so I initially decided to disable the NVidia GPU in the BIOS and install with the "Integrated Only". That worked quite well, but as it seems, the Intel GPU only operates with the laptop display and does not drive any external monitors.

So if you want external monitors, you have to use the NVidia GPU.

= glitches =

== noisy fan ==

At the time of writing (Oct 22, 2012) there appears a BIOS bug preventing the fans to spin down even when absolutely no load is present and the temperature for the system is just around 30° to 40°C. No matter what you set in the BIOS, the fans will always work with about 2700rpm. [http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/W-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/W530-fan-noise-intolerable/td-p/817907 Lenovo is working on the issue], but for the time being you have to live with a rather loud laptop.

One "workaround" I've found however was to enable the fan control features of the thinkpad_acpi kernel module. In order to do so, check the [[How_to_control_fan_speed|How to control fan speed]] page on the wiki.

== no external displays with the Intel GPU ==

As explained in the preinstall considerations, the Intel GPU on the W530 cannot drive any external monitors. So you are basically forced to use NVidia if you use external monitors.

== using Optimus in Fedora ==

== NVidia proprietary vs. open source Nouveau GPU driver ==

===Integrated Fingerprint Reader===
IBMs second generation of T42 models (released in Autumn 2004) was the first to feature an integrated fingerprint reader. Various models since then have had this feature, actually implemented with a number of different devices, all of which appear on the USB bus. Some are just scanners, others do the recognition in the device itself.

Read more about the various models of reader on the [http://reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Supported_devices libfprint wiki]

The UPEK device is supported by thinkfinger. Those devices and Authentec ones are supported by libfprint.

However: The fingerprint reader is an INSECURE device and gives a false sense of security! There has been quite a bit of research by a hacker named Starbug, a member of the Chaos Computer Club, Berlin, Germany. He outlined in two very good talks how to forge each and every available fingerprint sensor available at the cost of a few euros, using materials from your local hardware store, a digicam and a laser printer! Here's some links:

* [ftp://ftp.ccc.de/pub/documentation/Fingerabdruck_Hack/fingerabdruck.mpg?language=en Video tutorial for forging fingerprints]
Remember, using fingerprints for authentication is much similar to having a password which is written on anything you touch.

Huey PRO Colorimeter

Select ThinkPads feature a Pantone Huey PRO Colorimeter by X-Rite in the palm rest. This is used for calibrating the colours of the LCD display. The way calibration works is that you close the LID and the display remains on with a special test screen, and the sensor in the palm rest does its thing.

If you do not have a colour meter, Lenovo provides pre-calibrated profiles for most ThinkPads. Please see [[Colour profile]].
</div>
|}
__NOTOC__
==Linux support==

This sensor works with [http://www.argyllcms.com/ argyllcms] and [http://hoech.net/dispcalGUI/ dispcalGUI] under openSUSE 11.3. However, the sensor is not recognized properly under Ubuntu 10.04 or Debian (Lenny and Etch).
Gnome Color Manager allows for automatic loading of a color profile created by dispcalGUI at startup, but calibration an profiling remains impossible.
What is more, when calibrating / profiling the lid cannot be closed entirely, because the screen goes blank (at least I did not find a way to avoid this). Hence the lid must be supported with a book on the edge of the frame and I also covered the entire machine with a towel to minimize distortion of color hue by the influence of ambient light (be careful not to cover the heat exhausts).

=== IBM/Lenovo Ultrabay ===
Ultrabay is IBM's, now Lenovo's, name for the swappable drive slot. With IBM's words: <blockquote>"The ThinkPad UltraBay{{footnote|1}}, also standard with the system, is an intelligent bay that switches its pinout signals to allow the installation of standard and optional features in what would normally be just the FDD bay."</blockquote> Introduced back in the times of the 750 ThinkPads, this technology has gone through redesigns with almost every new generation of ThinkPad models, possibly leading to some confusion that is hopefully cleared up here. The following table gives an overview of the different Ultrabay types, in which models they occurred and what drives are available for them.
Note that the optical drive slot in G series ThinkPads is not an Ultrabay: the drives are fixed and not removable.
</div>
|}

Over the course of time a number of different form factors have been used for the Ultrabay. These are usually not compatible, but see below for details. Current Thinkpads use either the [[Ultrabay Devices#Serial Ultrabay Slim Devices|Serial Ultrabay Slim]] (accommodates drives up to 9.5mm high) or the [[Ultrabay Devices#Serial Ultrabay Enhanced Devices|Serial Ultrabay Enhanced]] (accommodates drives up to 12.7mm high). See [[Ultrabay Devices]] for a list of all Ultrabay devices.

===Characteristics===
;UltraBay : no hot swapping
;UltraBay Thick : thicker version of UltraBay to support CD-ROM drive
;UltraBay II : supports hot swapping; cutout lower right corner of the bezel
;UltraBay FX : combined floppy drive and optical drive found in the {{390}}/{{390E}}/{{390X}}
;UltraslimBay: supports hot swapping; frame, rectangular bezel with beveled lower edge
;Ultrabay 2000 : supports hot swapping (except in [[ThinkPad Dock|ThinkPad Dock I]]); frame, cutout lower right corner of the bezel
;Ultrabay Plus : like the Ultrabay 2000 but can take the [[Ultrabay Plus Device Carrier]] which in turn can hold the [[Ultrabay Plus Cradle for the WorkPad C500]] or the [[Ultrabay Plus Numeric Keypad]]
;Ultrabay Slim : supports hot swapping; thinner (9.5 mm) than the Ultrabay 2000; cutout lower right corner of bezel; the 4x and 5x series have different battery connector from the 6x series
;Ultrabay Enhanced : supports hot swapping; thicker (12.7 mm) than the Ultrabay Slim but does accept Ultrabay Slim devices
;Serial Ultrabay Slim : supports hot swapping; same dimensions as the Ultrabay Slim; supports Ultrabay Slim battery, but not in models supporting slice battery attached to the bottom of the laptop, e.g. {{T410}}/{{T510}} (even then there seems to be some mechanical difficulties—[[Ultrabay#Ultrabay_Slim_Batteries_in_Ultrabay_Serial_Slim|see discussion]]); some versions with a flat bezel, some versions with beveled lower edge
;Serial Ultrabay Enhanced : supports hot swapping; same width and depth as the Serial Ultrabay Slim, but is 3mm higher; no official 2nd HDD adapter—Lenovo recommends to use the thinner [[Ultrabay_Slim_ThinkPad_Serial_Hard_Drive_Bay_Adapter_III|Serial Ultrabay Slim Hard Drive Bay Adapter III]]; unofficial full-height ultrabay HDD adapters can be found from from third-party vendors; see the Serial Ultrabay Slim notes about battery

===Unofficially compatible===
A CDRW/DVD-ROM Superdrive (scavenged from a Mac iBook) will fit in an Ultrabay 2000. The original face won't fit in the bay, leaving a bare metal front. When the drive spins up, it blows a lot of air out. Maybe that's an anti-dust measure?

In general, Ultrabay 2000 CD drives have a standard connector, and can therefore be replaced by most other 12.7 mm drives. You might have to do some cutting of the plastic face plate.

The Ultrabay Slim CD drives however, have a proprietary connector. You can not replace them with any 9.5 mm CD drive.

==Linux support==
The pinout switching is done by the BIOS and hardware, so that it is completely transparent to the operating system.
*Floppy drives are supported by the standard floppy driver.
*ZIP drive support is possible through the <tt>ide-disk</tt> driver.
*IDE hard disks and optical drives are supported by the <tt>ata_piix</tt> or older <tt>ide-disk</tt> driver in the linux kernel.
*Batteries are automatically handled by the hardware, but can be controlled further by using [[tp_smapi]].
*UltraBay Plus devices should be handled by the USB subsystem, but if the actual devices are is not known.

===Hotswapping===

Install Mandriva 2009.0 on a ThinkPad W500

Daudo: /* Display / Xorg */

[[:Category:W500|W500]] '''this is work under progress'''

==BIOS Issues==

* [[Switchable Graphics]]
Linux (ie Xorg) currently lacks the support for on-the-fly switching of GPUs. It not only does not support switching, you also have to expicically turn off switching in BIOS. Go to Config->Display->Graphics Device and '''DISABLE''' OS detection of switchable graphics.

If you don't disable OS detection, linux will see two graphic adapters (try it with lspci) and will be confused on which one to use, leading to random weird side effects such as hangs and worse.

* AHCI
I also had to turn off AHCI in Config->SATA and used '''Compatibility Mode''' instead, otherwise the kernel would not boot occasionally.

* Intel Virtualization
The T9400 and up CPUs also support advanced Intel Virtualization technologies. Just don't turn on '''VT-d''' (disk I/O virtualization) in BIOS, otherwise WLAN any a couple of other things will not work and even freeze your system, see [https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44711 https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44711]

==Things not working/issues==

As I've found most of the components are just working out of the box, I will only list the issues I have found so far:

* booting with "vga=788" not working
** the Mandriva installer added the "vga=788" parameter to my kernel boot line. That prevented the laptop from booting quite frequently, not always though. Still to be investigated, but removing "vga=788" from the kernel boot line solved the issue for now.
* [[Active Protection System]]
** HD-APS is not working for me, probably due to a BIOS bug, see [http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12221 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12221]
*** some kind of workaround is to add pnpacpi=off to the kernel boot line, but that turns off ACPI, which is no real option
* Suspend/Resume
** while suspending works fine, resuming always ended with a blank screen, workaround below
* muted audio not shown in alsa mixer
** when you use the built in "mute audio" button on the ThinkPad keyboard, this is not show in any audio mixer I've tried. So if you don't hear a sound, give the "mute audio" button a try :-)
* 3D and radeonhd
** the radeonhd driver (still) does not support 3D acceleration
* 2D and fglrx
** see below

== Suspend/Resume problem ==

If resuming just leaves you with a blank black display, try the following:

echo "ADD_PARAMETERS='--quirk-vbe-post'" > /etc/pm/config.d/w500_vbe_post

== Display / Xorg ==

The laptop comes with [[Switchable Graphics]], so you can choose on your own which GPU to use:

* intel
** consumes the least energy
** DVI connector on the [[ThinkPad Advanced Mini Dock]] ist not recognoized
** a static dual head configuration gives weird background garbage when one of the statically configured monitors is not connected, see [http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19412 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19412]

* radeonhd
** consumes the most energy
** lack of 3D support

* fglrx
** changing runlevel to 3 (init 3) leaves you with X eating 100% CPU
** huge performance issues when switching between virtual desktops, switching can take a couple of seconds with 100% CPU again

So if battery life and 3D are important for you, you should probably use the intel driver, but I am fine with the radeonhd driver for now. And fglrx is nothing but proprietary nonsense, IMHO ... for a '''commercial''' driver this is ridiculous.

== Known problems and solutions ==
See [[Problems with fglrx]].

== User experience ==
=== Speed ===
How much is the speed gain versus the opensource drivers?

Compared to the old drivers, approximately 40% speed gain have been noticed with fglrx. However, there are issues with freezing/garbage after suspend, garbage when resizing desktop (via {{key|ctrl}}{{key|alt}}{{key|plus}}, {{key|ctrl}}{{key|alt}}{{key|minus}}), and garbage while using VMware. The current 8.14.13 has shown 400% improvement over using the open source radeon driver: 1200 FPS for glxgears{{footnote|1}}!

However the situation seems to be changing significantly as time goes on. With recent x11-drm-20060608 driver (gentoo) and thinkpad t42 (ati 9600) the speed is confirmed as 1900fps and stable. As of October 2007 there is dramatic improvement in the open source 3d drivers in speed and stability.

=== 3D acceleration ===

According to [http://xoomer.alice.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html#configure Flavio's page] you need these options:

Section "Module"
...
Load "GLcore"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
...
EndSection

# Of course you need to activate the driver
Section "Device"
...
Driver "fglrx"
EndSection

Don't forget to load the module <tt>fglrx</tt> (<tt>modprobe fglrx</tt>). Under Debian the module can be placed in <tt>/etc/modules</tt>.

With fglrx drivers prior to 8.42.3 will need to disable composite to enable 3D DRI acceleration. To do this, add an extra Extensions section (if necessary) containing:

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable" #make DRI work with fglrx.
EndSection

If you are unsure whether you have DRI running, issue <tt>glxinfo | grep -i direct</tt> after disabling composite. Note, this

{{NOTE|1=Video overlay acceleration may be disabled when 3D acceleration is enabled. The following comment from the xorg.conf file bundled with the fglrx driver indicates that:
# === OpenGL Overlay ===
# Note: When OpenGL Overlay is enabled, Video Overlay
# will be disabled automatically
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "1"
However, you can use either regular Xv video overlay or make the video an opengl texture and let the OpenGL engine scale your video. This has nothing to do with the acceleration of 2D drawing primitives. Further, your mileage on performance may vary depending on what card you have. The open source drivers don't support newer cards, while the ATI drivers don't support older cards.

You may be able to preserve VideoOverlay acceleration if you explicitly remove the OpenGLOverlay using:

Option "VideoOverlay" "True" and Option "OpenGLOverlay" "False". See [http://xoomer.alice.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html#configure Flavio's page] for detail.}}

=== Power saving ===
Power saving is much better than with the <tt>radeon</tt> driver, but doesn't work in dual-screen configuration (see [[How to make use of Graphics Chips Power Management features]]).

=== Suspending with fglrx ===

On a ThinkPad T42 with Kernel 2.6.19 with Software Suspend 2 and R60 with Kernel 2.6.18-suspend2-r1 (Gentoo) , the following addition to <tt>/etc/hibernate/suspend2.conf</tt> is required:

# For fglrx
ProcSetting extra_pages_allowance 20000

=== Display Switching (Dynamic Display Management) ===

Version 8.25.18 introduces a new feature: Dynamic Display Management. It allows display switching on-the-fly.

To list all connected and enabled monitors:
:{{cmdroot|1=aticonfig --query-monitor}}

To switch displays:
:{{cmdroot|1=aticonfig --enable-monitor=STRING,STRING}}, where STRING can be: none, lvds, crt1, crt2, tv, tdms1, tdms2

Only 2 displays can be enabled at the same time. Any displays that are not on the list will be disabled.

Using an [[Script for Dynamic Display Management with fglrx|ACPI script]], aticonfig can be used to switch displays on a key press.

The '''Catalyst Control Center''', which comes with the driver (at least from Livna in Fedora Core 6) can be used to do this switching. It also does various other kinds of display managements. However, the version that comes with 8.39.4 doesn't seem to handle switching into Big Desktop mode, does anyone know how to get this to work? The control center also complains a lot about rebooting, but rebooting doesn't seem to be required. Does anyone have decent documentation for the control center?

{{footnotes|
#Note that glxgears isn't a benchmark tool, it's so simple that its FPS values is without any meaning... you can only compare glxgears using the same drivers/machine, if you change any of then you can have higher/lower values and in real life programs/games happen to have the opposite effects. Think in terms of a car engines rpms: higher rpms in the same car usually means a faster car, change anything and it's meaningless, ie: gears, truck, wheel size, etc. make it useless.

Daudo: /* BIOS Issues */

[[:Category:W500|W500]] '''this is work under progress'''

==BIOS Issues==

* [[Switchable Graphics]]
Linux (ie Xorg) currently lacks the support for on-the-fly switching of GPUs. It not only does not support switching, you also have to expicically turn off switching in BIOS. Go to Config->Display->Graphics Device and '''DISABLE''' OS detection of switchable graphics.

If you don't disable OS detection, linux will see two graphic adapters (try it with lspci) and will be confused on which one to use, leading to random weird side effects such as hangs and worse.

* AHCI
I also had to turn off AHCI in Config->SATA and used '''Compatibility Mode''' instead, otherwise the kernel would not boot occasionally.

* Intel Virtualization
The T9400 and up CPUs also support advanced Intel Virtualization technologies. Just don't turn on '''VT-d''' (disk I/O virtualization) in BIOS, otherwise WLAN any a couple of other things will not work and even freeze your system, see [https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44711 https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44711]

==Things not working/issues==

As I've found most of the components are just working out of the box, I will only list the issues I have found so far:

* [[Active Protection System]]
** HD-APS is not working for me, probably due to a BIOS bug, see [http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12221 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12221]
*** some kind of workaround is to add pnpacpi=off to the kernel boot line, but that turns off ACPI, which is no real option
* Suspend/Resume
** while suspending works fine, resuming always ended with a blank screen, workaround below
* muted audio not shown in alsa mixer
** when you use the built in "mute audio" button on the ThinkPad keyboard, this is not show in any audio mixer I've tried. So if you don't hear a sound, give the "mute audio" button a try :-)
* 3D and radeonhd
** the radeonhd driver (still) does not support 3D acceleration

== Suspend/Resume problem ==

If resuming just leaves you with a blank black display, try the following:

echo "ADD_PARAMETERS='--quirk-vbe-post'" > /etc/pm/config.d/w500_vbe_post

== Display / Xorg ==

The laptop comes with [[Switchable Graphics]], so you can choose on your own which GPU to use:

* intel
** consumes the least energy
** DVI connector on the [[ThinkPad Advanced Mini Dock]] ist not recognoized

* radeonhd
** consumes the most energy
** lack of 3D support

* fglrx
** changing runlevel to 3 (init 3) leaves you with X eating 100% CPU

So if battery life, DVI and 3D are important for you, you should probably use the fglrx driver, but I am fine with the radeonhd driver for now.

If resuming just leaves you with a blank black display, try the following:

The laptop comes with [[switchable graphics]], so you can choose on your own which GPU to use:

* intel
** consumes the least energy
** DVI connector on the [[ThinkPad Advanced Mini Dock]] ist not recognoized

* radeonhd
** consumes the most energy
** lack of 3D support

* fglrx
** changing runlevel to 3 (init 3) leaves you with X eating 100% CPU

So if battery life, DVI and 3D are important for you, you should probably use the fglrx driver, but I am fine with the radeonhd driver for now.

Daudo: /* BIOS Issues */

[[:Category:W500|W500]] '''this is work under progress'''

==BIOS Issues==

Linux (ie Xorg) currently lacks the support for on-the-fly switching of GPUs. It not only does not support switching, you also have to expicically turn off switching in BIOS. Go to Config->Display->Graphics Device and '''DISABLE''' OS detection of switchable graphics.

If you don't disable OS detection, linux will see two graphic adapters (try it with lspci) and will be confused on which one to use, leading to random weird side effects such as hangs and worse.

I also had to turn off AHCI in Config->SATA and used '''Compatibility Mode''' instead, otherwise the kernel would not boot occasionally.

The T9400 and up CPUs also support advanced Intel Virtualization technologies. Just don't turn on VT-d (disk I/O virtualization) in BIOS, otherwise WLAN any a couple of other things will not work and even freeze your system, see [https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44711 https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44711]

==Things not working/issues==

As I've found most of the components are just working out of the box, I will only list the issues I have found so far:

* [[Active Protection System]]
** HD-APS is not working for me, probably due to a BIOS bug, see [http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12221 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12221]
