=== ibm-acpi - IBM ThinkPad ACPI Extras Driver ===
This is a Linux ACPI driver for the IBM ThinkPad laptops written by Borislav Deianov, and currently maintained by [[User:hmh|Henrique de Moraes Holschuh]]. It aims to support various features of these laptops which are accessible through the ACPI framework but not otherwise supported by the generic Linux ACPI drivers. As a kernel module, ibm-acpi works as a bridge to deliver information about certain hardware events like key presses or control the state of certain hardware features by software.
{{NOTE|The ibm-acpi driver was renamed to [[thinkpad-acpi]] on Linux kernel 2.6.22}}
|}

=== Features ===
*triggers ACPI Events for
** [[How_to_get_special_keys_to_work | Fn key combinations]] ({{key|Fn}}{{key|F1}}, {{key|Fn}}{{key|F2}}, {{key|Fn}}{{key|F3}}, {{key|Fn}}{{key|F4}}, {{key|Fn}}{{key|F5}}, {{key|Fn}}{{key|F6}}, {{key|Fn}}{{key|F7}}, {{key|Fn}}{{key|F8}}, {{key|Fn}}{{key|F9}}, {{key|Fn}}{{key|F10}}, {{key|Fn}}{{key|F11}}, {{key|Fn}}{{key|F12}})
** [[UltraBay]] device eject (see also [[How to hotswap UltraBay devices]])
** Display lid, Power button, Undock button
*enables control via /proc files of
** Bluetooth
** Video output switching, video expansion control
** Docking and undocking (limited)
** Fan (on most models, only enable/disable; speed control is added by a further [[Patch for controlling fan speed|patch]])
** Volume
** [[LCD Brightness]]
** [[ThinkLight]]
** [[Table_of_ibm-acpi_LEDs| LEDs]]
** [[Error Codes and Beep Codes|Beep]] codes
** Several CMOS states
* can show values of
** [[Thermal Sensors|Sixteen temperature sensors]]
** Embedded Controler registers
** Fan status and speed

Some of these features are available only when the module is loaded with the <tt>experimental=1</tt> option. To enable it, add the following to {{path|/etc/modprobe.conf}} (or your distribution's equivalent):
options ibm_acpi experimental=1

for kernels 2.6.22 and above fan control is enabled with the following in /etc/modprobe.conf:
options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1

=== Project Homepage / Availability ===
* Homepage: http://ibm-acpi.sourceforge.net/
* Public releases: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=117042
* ibm-acpi is included with the Linux kernel since 2.6.10.
* Mailing list: [[Mailinglists#ibm-acpi_Developers_Mailinglist|ibm-acpi-devel]]

=== Status ===
In development, usable, actively maintained. Patches should go to the ibm-acpi-devel [[mailinglists|mailing list]].

On older versions of the driver, even if you have disabled the BIOS setting for automatically dimming at battery power, after using the brightness switch of ibm-acpi, the auto-dimming behavior is enabled. This has been fixed in the latest thinkpad-acpi devel/backport versions and also kernel 2.6.26.

Installing Debian 3.1 (Sarge) on a ThinkPad T43p

2006-02-19T21:00:44Z

ErAck: /* Graphics Adapter */ driver v8.22.5 with kernel 2.6.15 on Sarge

__TOC__

This is how I installad Debian / Sarge on my new T43p.

==Installation==
I also got a new 100 GB HDS disk, so I swapped out the 60 GB model an plug in my new 100 GB.
When I booted the Sarge Installdisks with the 2.6 Kernel, Linux was not able to recognize the HD.

Then I booted with the old 2.4 Kernel, installed sarge, get a fresh kernel from kernel.org.
After compilation and replacing hda through sda, the T43p boot into 2.6.

'''Note:''' Changing to the 2.6.8 kernel Sarge offers does not work, boot stops during init. A recent 2.6.15 kernel from backports.org does it, there's a [http://jroller.com/page/erAck?entry=lot_day_4_2 detailed description] available.

Restated:

* The Debian Sarge installation will not work if you try to use the 2.6 kernel. In brief, your hdd will be detected as a SCSI device, and should be assigned to /dev/sda. However, the installation program will look for the device as /dev/hda and refuse to boot. I have had no success in using the automated installation bootstrap sequence of a 2.6 kernel from the sarge installation cd - email me if you have an experience otherwise.

* That being said, this is actually pretty simple to fix, and there are a multitude of ways to get around this. The easiest is to install the 2.4 kernel, which will put your drive in a ATA compatability mode (slooooww, approxmiately 4 MB/s throughput. Install it, and then install the 2.6 kernel. When you install the 2.6 kernel, change in your menu.lst or lilo config all references of /dev/hda to /dev/sda. You can get a nice .config for a modern kernel elsewhere on this site. I'm trying to move everything here for a central repository of information, but in the meantime check out the [http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/ibm.html Linux on Laptops website] for a wide selection of configs.

* Alternatively, you can bootstrap Sarge's installation by using a linux boot cd (Knoppix / SuSe Live or equivalent) and then changing boot parameters, or installing the base system via this linux boot. I did something like this when I upgraded from slackware. Nevertheless, installing via the 2.4 kernel is probably the easiest option. With linux, there are always multiple ways of accomplishing the same thing. :)

* Otherwise, choose your packages to install, and have fun. You will get a basic, working, Debian system.

==Hardware==
===CPU and frequency scaling===
First you have to activate ACPI and Speedsteep in your Kernel:

<pre>
CONFIG_ACPI=y
CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT=y
CONFIG_ACPI_INTERPRETER=y
CONFIG_ACPI_AC=y
CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY=y
CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=y
CONFIG_ACPI_FAN=y
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=y
CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=y
CONFIG_ACPI_IBM=y
CONFIG_ACPI_BLACKLIST_YEAR=0
CONFIG_ACPI_BUS=y
CONFIG_ACPI_EC=y
CONFIG_ACPI_POWER=y
CONFIG_ACPI_PCI=y
CONFIG_ACPI_SYSTEM=y
CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ=y
CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO_ACPI=y
CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ_PROC_INTF=y

CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO=y
CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO_ACPI=y
CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_ICH=y
CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_LIB=y
CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_RELAXED_CAP_CHECK=y
</pre>

apt-get install acpid powernowd

you can test your current cpu frequenc with the following comand:
echo `cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "^cpu MHz" | cut -d":" -f2` MHZ

===Network===
Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 11)
Works with the tg3 module

{{NOTE|With newer versions of the Kernel there is no tg3 module anymore :(

'''Note''' in note: at least in kernel 2.6.15 from http://backports.org tg3 is still available. So if you're using Sarge there's nothing to fear.

I read something about licencing issues and stuff and that because of these the Debian project removed that module from their release.

But there is still the painfull way to go:

Install that package: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/net/bcm5700-source, the kernel header files and the module-assistant. Start the module-assistant and run through that program (satisfying every compiling need) until it asks if you want to install the newly compiled module.

If everything worked,

modprobe bcm5700

and

ifup eth0 (or whatever your network is called)

See http://jriddell.org/thinkpad-r40e.html -> Network, for details.}}

The onboard Intel WLAN adapter works with [[Ipw2200]] module. The driver does not appear to support MII interface, so any roaming network configuration manager that uses it ( whereami in particular ) will prevent the card from working properly. I found that the combination of ifplugd, ifmetric and waproamd are a better solution, until NetworkManager comes around.

===Bluetooth===
Nothing special here. Working without any problem. Uses the standard bluez stack and should behave well. If you turn the bluetooth on using Fn+F5 and the light does not appear, restart your hotplug system by issuing the command:

:/etc/init.d/hotplug restart

and you will be all set.

===Sound===
Intel Corp. 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller 
Use built-in or modular ALSA snd_intel8x0, works without any problems.

<ul>
<li>
Configuration: You can simply use alsaconf followed by alsamixer to ensure that volumes are set appropriately. Alsa mixing works wonderfully with any application that supports it (e.g. all KDE integrated apps.)</li>

<li>You may need to set compile options for other applications (e.g. mplayer) to use alsa.</li>
<li>Do not use the oss drivers if you want everything to play nice. Otherwise, you will get a lot of busy /dev/dsp's and have to use the oss alsa wrapper, which is a pain in the best of circumstances.</li> </ul>
Issues: MIDI synthesis does not seem to work with this setup - has anybody gotten this to work? I have gotten nowhere troubleshooting this issue. The virtual MIDI soundcard is selected in my .config...

===Graphics Adapter===
ATI Technologies Inc M24 1T [FireGL M24 GL] (rev 80)

It is a [[ATI Mobility FireGL V3200]] with 128MB

The fglrx driver use and setup is discussed in depth [[Fglrx|elsewhere]] on this wiki. If you like you can use an installer:

I used the debian packages from [http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html] version 8.14.13-2
and followed the instructions on that page.

With version 8.22.5 and a backport's kernel 2.6.15 on Sarge there's [http://jroller.com/page/erAck?entry=lot_day_6_2_fglrx another way].

Nothing special here. (XFree 4.3.0.dfsg)

Note that debian sid now includes xorg server package if you like - ATI's driver works with both XFree and XOrg nicely.

===Mouse===
I use one external USB Logitech Trackball and both internal, the Touchpad and the Trackpoint.
In my XF86Config-4 are 3 mice.

==Various Information==
===lspci Output===

To have all the hardware show up with its proper name, I had to get a new pci.ids file from the [http://pciids.sourceforge.net/ Linux PCI ID Repostiory] and copy it to /usr/share/misc/pci.ids. I believe newer distributions and kernels won't need that file anymore. -- 2005-07-19 (kernel 2.6.12.2) still need it.

2006-02-19T20:49:54Z

ErAck: /* Packages */ v8.22.5 with kernel 2.5.15 on Debian/sarge

== ATI fglrx driver ==
This is a binary-only driver which supports 3D acceleration.

Home page: https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=356

== Status ==
Current version: 8.22.5 (9th February 2006)

Major changes:
* 8.22.5: added kernel 2.6.15 support -- patch no longer required
* 8.21.7: initial OpenGL 2.0 support
* 8.20.8: fixed resume issues, fixed compile problems with kernels 2.6.13 and 2.6.14
* 8.19.10: has added suspend / resume and dynamic GPU power management support. Using vbetool is no longer required (tested and successful with T43p).

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

== Packages ==
The ATI drivers have explicit permission for repackaging and redistribution of the Linux drivers. Many distributions are supported within the installer, and many more repackaged by external developers. Please visit the [http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Category:Distributions Distribution Page at the Unofficial ATI driver Wiki]

*{{Debian}} packages: http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html
** These packages have been added to Debian unstable as "fglrx-driver", so you can now apt-get them and use module-assistant to install (currently v8.20.8-1).
** If you are on stable sarge with backport's kernel 2.6.15, download ATI's installer, currently v8.22.5, let it build Debian packages and proceed as usual. There's a [http://jroller.com/page/erAck?entry=lot_day_6_2_fglrx detailed description] available.
*{{SUSE}} packages: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/ATI/
*{{Gentoo}} {{cmdroot|emerge x11-drivers/ati-drivers}}
*{{Fedora}} packages: http://rpm.livna.org
** For stock Fedora kernels: {{cmdroot|yum install kernel-module-fglrx-$(uname -r) ati-fglrx }}
** Creating and installing a custom RPM for a custom-compiled kernel on {{Fedora}}:
# yum install ati-fglrx
# VER=8.20.8.1-0.lvn.1.4 # copy version string from output of above command
# wget http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/4/i386/SRPMS.lvn/ati-fglrx-$VER.src.rpm
# rpmbuild --rebuild --target $(uname -m) --define "ksrc /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build" --without userland ati-fglrx-$VER.src.rpm
# rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/$(uname -m)/kernel-module-fglrx-$(uname -r)-$VER.$(uname -m).rpm

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

- On the old drivers, I've noticed appx 40% speed gain with ATI fglrx vs open source drivers. However, there are issues with freezing/garbage after suspend, garbage when resizing desktop (ctrl-alt-plus, ctrl-alt-minus), and garbage while using VMware. The current 8.14.13 has shown 400% improvement over using "radeon" or "ati" in xorg.conf. 1200FPS glxgears! (''note that glxgears isnt a benchmark tool, its so simple that its value 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 happend the opposite. Think in the car engine rpm, higher rpm in the same car usually its a faster car, change anything and its meaningless. ie: gears, truck, wheel size, etc make it useless'')

NOTE: 2D acceleration may be disabled when 3D acceleration is enabled. This comes from the Xorg.conf file the fglrx driver provides
# === OpenGL Overlay ===
# Note: When OpenGL Overlay is enabled, Video Overlay
# will be disabled automatically
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "1"

Just a note to the above. The 2D acceleration for that option refers to video overlay. You can use either regular Xv video overlay or make the video an opengl texture and let the OpenGL engine scale your video. It has nothing to do with 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.

=== 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]]).

Installing Debian 3.1 (Sarge) on a ThinkPad T43p

2006-02-08T00:49:30Z

ErAck: /* Network */ tg3 is available in backports.org kernel

__TOC__

This is how I installad Debian / Sarge on my new T43p.

==Installation==
I also got a new 100 GB HDS disk, so I swapped out the 60 GB model an plug in my new 100 GB.
When I booted the Sarge Installdisks with the 2.6 Kernel, Linux was not able to recognize the HD.

Then I booted with the old 2.4 Kernel, installed sarge, get a fresh kernel from kernel.org.
After compilation and replacing hda through sda, the T43p boot into 2.6.

'''Note:''' Changing to the 2.6.8 kernel Sarge offers does not work, boot stops during init. A recent 2.6.15 kernel from backports.org does it, there's a [http://jroller.com/page/erAck?entry=lot_day_4_2 detailed description] available.

Restated:

* The Debian Sarge installation will not work if you try to use the 2.6 kernel. In brief, your hdd will be detected as a SCSI device, and should be assigned to /dev/sda. However, the installation program will look for the device as /dev/hda and refuse to boot. I have had no success in using the automated installation bootstrap sequence of a 2.6 kernel from the sarge installation cd - email me if you have an experience otherwise.

* That being said, this is actually pretty simple to fix, and there are a multitude of ways to get around this. The easiest is to install the 2.4 kernel, which will put your drive in a ATA compatability mode (slooooww, approxmiately 4 MB/s throughput. Install it, and then install the 2.6 kernel. When you install the 2.6 kernel, change in your menu.lst or lilo config all references of /dev/hda to /dev/sda. You can get a nice .config for a modern kernel elsewhere on this site. I'm trying to move everything here for a central repository of information, but in the meantime check out the [http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/ibm.html Linux on Laptops website] for a wide selection of configs.

* Alternatively, you can bootstrap Sarge's installation by using a linux boot cd (Knoppix / SuSe Live or equivalent) and then changing boot parameters, or installing the base system via this linux boot. I did something like this when I upgraded from slackware. Nevertheless, installing via the 2.4 kernel is probably the easiest option. With linux, there are always multiple ways of accomplishing the same thing. :)

* Otherwise, choose your packages to install, and have fun. You will get a basic, working, Debian system.

==Hardware==
===CPU and frequency scaling===
First you have to activate ACPI and Speedsteep in your Kernel:

<pre>
CONFIG_ACPI=y
CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT=y
CONFIG_ACPI_INTERPRETER=y
CONFIG_ACPI_AC=y
CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY=y
CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=y
CONFIG_ACPI_FAN=y
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=y
CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=y
CONFIG_ACPI_IBM=y
CONFIG_ACPI_BLACKLIST_YEAR=0
CONFIG_ACPI_BUS=y
CONFIG_ACPI_EC=y
CONFIG_ACPI_POWER=y
CONFIG_ACPI_PCI=y
CONFIG_ACPI_SYSTEM=y
CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ=y
CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO_ACPI=y

CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_ICH=y
CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_LIB=y
CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_RELAXED_CAP_CHECK=y
</pre>

apt-get install acpid powernowd

you can test your current cpu frequenc with the following comand:
echo `cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "^cpu MHz" | cut -d":" -f2` MHZ

===Network===
Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 11)
Works with the tg3 module

{{NOTE|With newer versions of the Kernel there is no tg3 module anymore :(

'''Note''' in note: at least in kernel 2.6.15 from http://backports.org tg3 is still available. So if you're using Sarge there's nothing to fear.

I read something about licencing issues and stuff and that because of these the Debian project removed that module from their release.

But there is still the painfull way to go:

Install that package: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/net/bcm5700-source, the kernel header files and the module-assistant. Start the module-assistant and run through that program (satisfying every compiling need) until it asks if you want to install the newly compiled module.

If everything worked,

modprobe bcm5700

and

ifup eth0 (or whatever your network is called)

See http://jriddell.org/thinkpad-r40e.html -> Network, for details.}}

The onboard Intel WLAN adapter works with [[Ipw2200]] module. The driver does not appear to support MII interface, so any roaming network configuration manager that uses it ( whereami in particular ) will prevent the card from working properly. I found that the combination of ifplugd, ifmetric and waproamd are a better solution, until NetworkManager comes around.

===Bluetooth===
Nothing special here. Working without any problem. Uses the standard bluez stack and should behave well. If you turn the bluetooth on using Fn+F5 and the light does not appear, restart your hotplug system by issuing the command:

:/etc/init.d/hotplug restart

and you will be all set.

===Sound===
Intel Corp. 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller 
Use built-in or modular ALSA snd_intel8x0, works without any problems.

<ul>
<li>
Configuration: You can simply use alsaconf followed by alsamixer to ensure that volumes are set appropriately. Alsa mixing works wonderfully with any application that supports it (e.g. all KDE integrated apps.)</li>

<li>You may need to set compile options for other applications (e.g. mplayer) to use alsa.</li>
<li>Do not use the oss drivers if you want everything to play nice. Otherwise, you will get a lot of busy /dev/dsp's and have to use the oss alsa wrapper, which is a pain in the best of circumstances.</li> </ul>
Issues: MIDI synthesis does not seem to work with this setup - has anybody gotten this to work? I have gotten nowhere troubleshooting this issue. The virtual MIDI soundcard is selected in my .config...

===Graphics Adapter===
ATI Technologies Inc M24 1T [FireGL M24 GL] (rev 80)

It is a [[ATI Mobility FireGL V3200]] with 128MB

The fglrx driver use and setup is discussed in depth elsewhere on this wiki. If you like you can use an installer:

I used the debian packages from [[http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html]] version 8.14.13-2
and followed the instructions on that page.

Nothing special here. (XFree 4.3.0.dfsg)

Note that debian sid now includes xorg server package if you like - ATI's driver works with both XFree and XOrg nicely.

===Mouse===
I use one external USB Logitech Trackball and both internal, the Touchpad and the Trackpoint.
In my XF86Config-4 are 3 mice.

To have all the hardware show up with its proper name, I had to get a new pci.ids file from the [http://pciids.sourceforge.net/ Linux PCI ID Repostiory] and copy it to /usr/share/misc/pci.ids. I believe newer distributions and kernels won't need that file anymore. -- 2005-07-19 (kernel 2.6.12.2) still need it.

Installing Debian 3.1 (Sarge) on a ThinkPad T43p

2006-01-29T23:13:49Z

ErAck: /* Installation */ NOTE template broken?

__TOC__

This is how I installad Debian / Sarge on my new T43p.

==Installation==
I also got a new 100 GB HDS disk, so I swapped out the 60 GB model an plug in my new 100 GB.
When I booted the Sarge Installdisks with the 2.6 Kernel, Linux was not able to recognize the HD.

Then I booted with the old 2.4 Kernel, installed sarge, get a fresh kernel from kernel.org.
After compilation and replacing hda through sda, the T43p boot into 2.6.

Restated:

* The Debian Sarge installation will not work if you try to use the 2.6 kernel. In brief, your hdd will be detected as a SCSI device, and should be assigned to /dev/sda. However, the installation program will look for the device as /dev/hda and refuse to boot. I have had no success in using the automated installation bootstrap sequence of a 2.6 kernel from the sarge installation cd - email me if you have an experience otherwise.

* That being said, this is actually pretty simple to fix, and there are a multitude of ways to get around this. The easiest is to install the 2.4 kernel, which will put your drive in a ATA compatability mode (slooooww, approxmiately 4 MB/s throughput. Install it, and then install the 2.6 kernel. When you install the 2.6 kernel, change in your menu.lst or lilo config all references of /dev/hda to /dev/sda. You can get a nice .config for a modern kernel elsewhere on this site. I'm trying to move everything here for a central repository of information, but in the meantime check out the [http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/ibm.html Linux on Laptops website] for a wide selection of configs.

* Alternatively, you can bootstrap Sarge's installation by using a linux boot cd (Knoppix / SuSe Live or equivalent) and then changing boot parameters, or installing the base system via this linux boot. I did something like this when I upgraded from slackware. Nevertheless, installing via the 2.4 kernel is probably the easiest option. With linux, there are always multiple ways of accomplishing the same thing. :)

* Otherwise, choose your packages to install, and have fun. You will get a basic, working, Debian system.

'''Note:''' Installing the 2.6.8 kernel Sarge offers does not work, boot stops during init. A recent 2.6.15 kernel from backports.org does it, there's a [http://jroller.com/page/erAck?entry=lot_day_4_2 detailed description] available.

==Hardware==
===CPU and frequency scaling===
First you have to activate ACPI and Speedsteep in your Kernel:

<pre>
CONFIG_ACPI=y
CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT=y
CONFIG_ACPI_INTERPRETER=y
CONFIG_ACPI_AC=y
CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY=y
CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=y
CONFIG_ACPI_FAN=y
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=y
CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=y
CONFIG_ACPI_IBM=y
CONFIG_ACPI_BLACKLIST_YEAR=0
CONFIG_ACPI_BUS=y
CONFIG_ACPI_EC=y
CONFIG_ACPI_POWER=y
CONFIG_ACPI_PCI=y
CONFIG_ACPI_SYSTEM=y
CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ=y
CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO_ACPI=y
CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ_PROC_INTF=y

CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO=y
CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO_ACPI=y
CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_ICH=y
CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_LIB=y
CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_RELAXED_CAP_CHECK=y
</pre>

apt-get install acpid powernowd

you can test your current cpu frequenc with the following comand:
echo `cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "^cpu MHz" | cut -d":" -f2` MHZ

===Network===
Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 11)
Works with the tg3 module

{{NOTE|With newer versions of the Kernel there is no tg3 module anymore :(

I read something about licencing issues and stuff and that because of these the Debian project removed that module from their release.

But there is still the painfull way to go:

Install that package: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/net/bcm5700-source, the kernel header files and the module-assistant. Start the module-assistant and run through that program (satisfying every compiling need) until it asks if you want to install the newly compiled module.

If everything worked,

modprobe bcm5700

and

ifup eth0 (or whatever your network is called)

See http://jriddell.org/thinkpad-r40e.html -> Network, for details.}}

The onboard Intel WLAN adapter works with [[Ipw2200]] module. The driver does not appear to support MII interface, so any roaming network configuration manager that uses it ( whereami in particular ) will prevent the card from working properly. I found that the combination of ifplugd, ifmetric and waproamd are a better solution, until NetworkManager comes around.

===Bluetooth===
Nothing special here. Working without any problem. Uses the standard bluez stack and should behave well. If you turn the bluetooth on using Fn+F5 and the light does not appear, restart your hotplug system by issuing the command:

:/etc/init.d/hotplug restart

and you will be all set.

===Sound===
Intel Corp. 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller 
Use built-in or modular ALSA snd_intel8x0, works without any problems.

<ul>
<li>
Configuration: You can simply use alsaconf followed by alsamixer to ensure that volumes are set appropriately. Alsa mixing works wonderfully with any application that supports it (e.g. all KDE integrated apps.)</li>

<li>You may need to set compile options for other applications (e.g. mplayer) to use alsa.</li>
<li>Do not use the oss drivers if you want everything to play nice. Otherwise, you will get a lot of busy /dev/dsp's and have to use the oss alsa wrapper, which is a pain in the best of circumstances.</li> </ul>
Issues: MIDI synthesis does not seem to work with this setup - has anybody gotten this to work? I have gotten nowhere troubleshooting this issue. The virtual MIDI soundcard is selected in my .config...

===Graphics Adapter===
ATI Technologies Inc M24 1T [FireGL M24 GL] (rev 80)

It is a [[ATI Mobility FireGL V3200]] with 128MB

The fglrx driver use and setup is discussed in depth elsewhere on this wiki. If you like you can use an installer:

I used the debian packages from [[http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html]] version 8.14.13-2
and followed the instructions on that page.

Nothing special here. (XFree 4.3.0.dfsg)

Note that debian sid now includes xorg server package if you like - ATI's driver works with both XFree and XOrg nicely.

===Mouse===
I use one external USB Logitech Trackball and both internal, the Touchpad and the Trackpoint.
In my XF86Config-4 are 3 mice.

To have all the hardware show up with its proper name, I had to get a new pci.ids file from the [http://pciids.sourceforge.net/ Linux PCI ID Repostiory] and copy it to /usr/share/misc/pci.ids. I believe newer distributions and kernels won't need that file anymore. -- 2005-07-19 (kernel 2.6.12.2) still need it.
