Installing Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope (9.04) on an X301

2009-09-11T12:59:45Z

Guggenmusiker: /* External Displays */

== Overview ==

Installation was done with a fresh Ubuntu 9.04 (x86, 32 Bit) and (amd64, 64 Bit). Overall impression: An installation without severe glitches so far. :-)

== Keyboard ==

Pretty much all of the Fn+... keys work (not all tested yet). Tested: Lock screen, brightness, sleep, hibernation, battery status, thinklight

To make the Mute button work add the kernel option '''acpi_osi="Linux"''' .

The volume buttons surprisingly don't change the volume(the display with the percentage appears,though). At least the on/off toggle button works.

== Ethernet ==

Works out of the box.

== Wireless ==

Works out of the box.

== Bluetooth / WLAN Hardware Switch ==

The Bluetooth / WLAN Hardware Switch on the backside of the X301 does not work properly, yet. Booting the X301 with Bluetooth / WLAN switched off and turning the switch on leads to a not working wireless connection, although "Enable Wireless" is checked in the network-manager applet. However, if I manually disable/enable "Enable Wireless" in the network-manager applet after such a boot process, the wireless connection starts to work correctly. --> Any hints someone hot to get the hardware switch working correctly?

== Ericsson F3507g Mobile Broadband Module ==

The WWAN part works out of the box on amd64 architecture and should work therefore on x86 too.

The GPS part works too, when sending the commands manually to the card as described in http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ericsson_F3507g_Mobile_Broadband_Module . However I couln't connect to /dev/ttyACMx with cu. I first had to change the owner of the devices as follows:

<pre>
sudo chown uucp.uucp /dev/ttyACMx
</pre>

== Bluetooth ==

Untested.

== Fan ==

It is spinning at 50% (around 5000 rpm) almost all the time on default, rather the same situation as on Windows XP.
To get the X301 silent and cool, [http://www.gambitchess.org/mediawiki/index.php/ThinkPad_Fan_Control ThinkPad Fan Control] could be a solution.

* [http://www.snowtraces.com/x301_fan_long_time2.jpg After 3 hours normal work]

You see, that the temperature is nearly the same everywhere, except for the last sensor.
So since these values can be taken as safe, we use them to create our own profile.
* [http://www.snowtraces.com/x301_fan_my_setting.jpg Mine looks like this]

If you stress your cpu with "stress -c 2", while having the standard profile(hw-controlled), the temperature get quite higher.

See my input on the tpfan Site: [https://answers.launchpad.net/tp-fan/+question/72479 Here] You can see, that I prepared data for all the sensors, also for when the temperature came back down after the stress-test.

Be aware that you use the herementioned profile on your own risk, please. My personal opinion: It is still TOO conservative.

==Power Management==

Seems to work fine - not fully tested yet.

Using a second battery instead of the optical drive works fine too.

== Display ==

Works out of the box.

== Suspend and Hibernate ==

Both work out of the box. But there might be a problem with the X Server crashing after resume (see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/340328 )

== Sound ==

Works out of the box. Plugging in headphone or microphone will mute the internal devices and switch to external jacks.

Untested remain:
* Usage with a sound server (esd)

== Camera ==

Works out of the box (tested with [http://projects.gnome.org/cheese/ Cheese]) but on repeated use it often fails or blocks. Reloading the uvcvideo kernel module resets the camera.

== External Displays ==

Works out of the box (dual screen and mirror screens). Tested with an Acer AL2223W monitor.

==Compiz / 3D Acceleration==

Works. But the performance of the Intel driver is not optimal.

Compiz is installed by default when using the Desktop CD. However the Compiz configuration and settings manager is missing. To install it do the following:

<pre>
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
</pre>

Furthermore it is recommended to install fusion icon too:

<pre>
sudo apt-get install fusion-icon
</pre>

== Boot time ==

About 20s including time spent in BIOS and POST. When using ext4 instead of ext3 it boots even a little bit faster.

== Fingerprint Reader ==

Doesn't currently work as it's an AuthenTec and not a Thompson chip. Linux driver is missing. Any news here?

== Trackpoint / Trackpad ==

To make the trackpoint central button + mouse up/down to work as the scroll whell, you need to add this content to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi:

<pre>
<match key="info.product" string="PS/2 Generic Mouse">
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheel" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelButton" type="string">2</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.XAxisMapping" type="string">6 7</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.YAxisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.ZAxisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.Emulate3Buttons" type="string">true</merge>
</match>
</pre>

If this doesn't work for you, get a list of all the devices and try with different ones instead on "PS/2 Generic Mouse":

<pre>
lshal | grep input.product
</pre>

For instance, section How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint recommends "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" for other Thinkpads, but it wasn't present on X301.

So since these values can be taken as safe, we use them to create our own profile.
* [http://www.snowtraces.com/x301_fan_my_setting.jpg Mine looks like this]

If you stress your cpu with "stress -c 2", while having the standard profile(hw-controlled), the temperature get quite higher.

See my input on the tpfan Site: [https://answers.launchpad.net/tp-fan/+question/72479 Here] You can see, that I prepared data for all the sensors, also for when the temperature came back down after the stress-test.

Be aware that you use the herementioned profile on your own risk, please. My personal opinion: It is still TOO conservative.

==Power Management==

Seems to work fine - not fully tested yet.

Using a second battery instead of the optical drive works fine too.

== Display ==

Works out of the box.

== Suspend and Hibernate ==

Both work out of the box. But there might be a problem with the X Server crashing after resume (see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/340328 )

== Sound ==

Works out of the box. Plugging in headphone or microphone will mute the internal devices and switch to external jacks.

Untested remain:
* Usage with a sound server (esd)

== Camera ==

Works out of the box (tested with [http://projects.gnome.org/cheese/ Cheese]) but on repeated use it often fails or blocks. Reloading the uvcvideo kernel module resets the camera.

==External Displays==
Works out of the box (dual screen and mirror screens). Tested with an Acer AL2223W monitor.

==Compiz / 3D Acceleration==

Works. But the performance of the Intel driver is not optimal.

Compiz is installed by default when using the Desktop CD. However the Compiz configuration and settings manager is missing. To install it do the following:

<pre>
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
</pre>

Furthermore it is recommended to install fusion icon too:

<pre>
sudo apt-get install fusion-icon
</pre>

== Boot time ==

About 20s including time spent in BIOS and POST. When using ext4 instead of ext3 it boots even a little bit faster.

==Fingerprint Reader==

Doesn't currently work as it's an AuthenTec and not a Thompson chip. Linux driver is missing. Any news here?

==Trackpoint/Trackpad==

To make the trackpoint central button + mouse up/down to work as the scroll whell, you need to add this content to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi:

<pre>
<match key="info.product" string="PS/2 Generic Mouse">
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheel" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelButton" type="string">2</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.XAxisMapping" type="string">6 7</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.YAxisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.ZAxisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.Emulate3Buttons" type="string">true</merge>
</match>
</pre>

If this doesn't work for you, get a list of all the devices and try with different ones instead on "PS/2 Generic Mouse":

<pre>
lshal | grep input.product
</pre>

For instance, section How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint recommends "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" for other Thinkpads, but it wasn't present on X301.

Installing Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope (9.04) on an X301

2009-09-11T12:57:10Z

Guggenmusiker: /* Camera */

Please improve on this preliminary effort.

== Overview ==

Installation was done with a fresh Ubuntu 9.04 (x86, 32 Bit) and (amd64, 64 Bit). Overall impression: An installation without severe glitches so far. :-)

== Keyboard ==

Pretty much all of the Fn+... keys work (not all tested yet). Tested: Lock screen, brightness, sleep, hibernation, battery status, thinklight

To make the Mute button work add the kernel option '''acpi_osi="Linux"''' .

The volume buttons surprisingly don't change the volume(the display with the percentage appears,though). At least the on/off toggle button works.

== Ethernet ==

Works out of the box.

== Wireless ==

Works out of the box.

== Bluetooth / WLAN Hardware Switch ==

The Bluetooth / WLAN Hardware Switch on the backside of the X301 does not work properly, yet. Booting the X301 with Bluetooth / WLAN switched off and turning the switch on leads to a not working wireless connection, although "Enable Wireless" is checked in the network-manager applet. However, if I manually disable/enable "Enable Wireless" in the network-manager applet after such a boot process, the wireless connection starts to work correctly. --> Any hints someone hot to get the hardware switch working correctly?

== Ericsson F3507g Mobile Broadband Module ==

The WWAN part works out of the box on amd64 architecture and should work therefore on x86 too.

The GPS part works too, when sending the commands manually to the card as described in http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ericsson_F3507g_Mobile_Broadband_Module . However I couln't connect to /dev/ttyACMx with cu. I first had to change the owner of the devices as follows:

<pre>
sudo chown uucp.uucp /dev/ttyACMx
</pre>

== Bluetooth ==

Untested.

== Fan ==

It is spinning at 50% (around 5000 rpm) almost all the time on default, rather the same situation as on Windows XP.
To get the X301 silent and cool, [http://www.gambitchess.org/mediawiki/index.php/ThinkPad_Fan_Control ThinkPad Fan Control] could be a solution.

Installing Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope (9.04) on an X301

2009-09-11T12:56:01Z

Guggenmusiker: /* Fan */

Please improve on this preliminary effort.

== Overview ==

Installation was done with a fresh Ubuntu 9.04 (x86, 32 Bit) and (amd64, 64 Bit). Overall impression: An installation without severe glitches so far. :-)

== Keyboard ==

Pretty much all of the Fn+... keys work (not all tested yet). Tested: Lock screen, brightness, sleep, hibernation, battery status, thinklight

To make the Mute button work add the kernel option '''acpi_osi="Linux"''' .

The volume buttons surprisingly don't change the volume(the display with the percentage appears,though). At least the on/off toggle button works.

== Ethernet ==

Works out of the box.

== Wireless ==

Works out of the box.

== Bluetooth / WLAN Hardware Switch ==

The Bluetooth / WLAN Hardware Switch on the backside of the X301 does not work properly, yet. Booting the X301 with Bluetooth / WLAN switched off and turning the switch on leads to a not working wireless connection, although "Enable Wireless" is checked in the network-manager applet. However, if I manually disable/enable "Enable Wireless" in the network-manager applet after such a boot process, the wireless connection starts to work correctly. --> Any hints someone hot to get the hardware switch working correctly?

== Ericsson F3507g Mobile Broadband Module ==

The WWAN part works out of the box on amd64 architecture and should work therefore on x86 too.

The GPS part works too, when sending the commands manually to the card as described in http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ericsson_F3507g_Mobile_Broadband_Module . However I couln't connect to /dev/ttyACMx with cu. I first had to change the owner of the devices as follows:

<pre>
sudo chown uucp.uucp /dev/ttyACMx
</pre>

== Bluetooth ==

Untested.

== Fan ==

It is spinning at 50% (around 5000 rpm) almost all the time on default, rather the same situation as on Windows XP.
To get the X301 silent and cool, [http://www.gambitchess.org/mediawiki/index.php/ThinkPad_Fan_Control ThinkPad Fan Control] could be a solution.

* [http://www.snowtraces.com/x301_fan_long_time2.jpg After 2 hours normal work]
* [http://www.snowtraces.com/x301_fan_long_time2.jpg After 3 hours normal work]

You see, that the temperature is nearly the same everywhere, except for the last sensor.
So since these values can be taken as safe, we use them to create our own profile.
* [http://www.snowtraces.com/x301_fan_my_setting.jpg Mine looks like this]

If you stress your cpu with "stress -c 2", while having the standard profile(hw-controlled), the temperature get quite higher.

See my input on the tpfan Site: [https://answers.launchpad.net/tp-fan/+question/72479 Here] You can see, that I prepared data for all the sensors, also for when the temperature came back down after the stress-test.

Be aware that you use the herementioned profile on your own risk, please. My personal opinion: It is still TOO conservative.

==Power Management==

Seems to work fine - not fully tested yet.

Using a second battery instead of the optical drive works fine too.

==Display==

Works fine :-)

==Suspend and Hibernate==

Both work out of the box. But there might be a problem with the X Server crashing after resume (see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/340328 )

==Sound==

Works out of the box. Plugging in headphone or microphone will mute the internal devices and switch to external jacks.

Untested remain:
* usage with a sound server (esd)

==Camera==

Works out of the box (tested with [http://projects.gnome.org/cheese/ Cheese]) but on repeated use it often fails or blocks. Reloading the uvcvideo kernel module resets the camera.

==External Displays==
Works out of the box (dual screen and mirror screens). Tested with an Acer AL2223W monitor.

==Compiz / 3D Acceleration==

Works. But the performance of the Intel driver is not optimal.

Compiz is installed by default when using the Desktop CD. However the Compiz configuration and settings manager is missing. To install it do the following:

<pre>
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
</pre>

Furthermore it is recommended to install fusion icon too:

<pre>
sudo apt-get install fusion-icon
</pre>

==Boot time==

About 20s including time spent in BIOS and POST.

==Fingerprint Reader==

Doesn't currently work as it's an AuthenTec and not a Thompson chip. Linux driver is missing. Any news here?

==Trackpoint/Trackpad==

To make the trackpoint central button + mouse up/down to work as the scroll whell, you need to add this content to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi:

<pre>
<match key="info.product" string="PS/2 Generic Mouse">
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheel" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelButton" type="string">2</merge>

<merge key="input.x11_options.ZAxisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.Emulate3Buttons" type="string">true</merge>
</match>
</pre>

* [http://www.snowtraces.com/x301_fan_long_time2.jpg After 3 hours normal work]

You see, that the temperature is nearly the same everywhere, except for the last sensor.
So since these values can be taken as safe, we use them to create our own profile.
* [http://www.snowtraces.com/x301_fan_my_setting.jpg Mine looks like this]

If you stress your cpu with "stress -c 2", while having the standard profile(hw-controlled), the temperature get quite higher.

See my input on the tpfan Site: [https://answers.launchpad.net/tp-fan/+question/72479 Here] You can see, that I prepared data for all the sensors, also for when the temperature came back down after the stress-test.

Be aware that you use the herementioned profile on your own risk, please. My personal opinion: It is still TOO conservative.

==Power Management==

Seems to work fine - not fully tested yet.

Using a second battery instead of the optical drive works fine too.

==Display==

Works fine :-)

==Suspend and Hibernate==

Both work out of the box. But there might be a problem with the X Server crashing after resume (see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/340328 )

==Sound==

Works out of the box. Plugging in headphone or microphone will mute the internal devices and switch to external jacks.

Untested remain:
* usage with a sound server (esd)

==Camera==

Works out of the box (tested with [http://projects.gnome.org/cheese/ Cheese]) but on repeated use it often fails or blocks. Reloading the uvcvideo kernel module resets the camera.

==External Displays==
Works out of the box (dual screen and mirror screens). Tested with an Acer AL2223W monitor.

==Compiz / 3D Acceleration==

Works. But the performance of the Intel driver is not optimal.

Compiz is installed by default when using the Desktop CD. However the Compiz configuration and settings manager is missing. To install it do the following:

<pre>
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
</pre>

Furthermore it is recommended to install fusion icon too:

<pre>
sudo apt-get install fusion-icon
</pre>

==Boot time==

About 20s including time spent in BIOS and POST.

==Fingerprint Reader==

Doesn't currently work as it's an AuthenTec and not a Thompson chip. Linux driver is missing. Any news here?

==Trackpoint/Trackpad==

To make the trackpoint central button + mouse up/down to work as the scroll whell, you need to add this content to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi:

<pre>
<match key="info.product" string="PS/2 Generic Mouse">
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheel" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelButton" type="string">2</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.XAxisMapping" type="string">6 7</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.YAxisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.ZAxisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.Emulate3Buttons" type="string">true</merge>
</match>
</pre>

If this doesn't work for you, get a list of all the devices and try with different ones instead on "PS/2 Generic Mouse":

<pre>
lshal | grep input.product
</pre>

For instance, section How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint recommends "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" for other Thinkpads, but it wasn't present on X301.

Installing Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope (9.04) on an X301

2009-09-11T12:52:51Z

Guggenmusiker: /* Ethernet */

Please improve on this preliminary effort.

==Overview==

Installation was done with a fresh Ubuntu 9.04 (x86, 32 Bit) and (amd64, 64 Bit). Overall impression: An installation without severe glitches so far. :-)

==Keyboard==

Pretty much all of the Fn+... keys work (not all tested yet)
tested: lock screen, brightness, sleep, hibernation, battery status, thinklight

To make the Mute button work add the kernel option '''acpi_osi="Linux"''' .

The volume buttons surprisingly don't change the volume(the display with the percentage appears,though). At least the on/off toggle button works.

== Ethernet ==

Works out of the box.

==Wireless==

Works out of the box.

==Bluetooth/WLAN Hardware Switch==

The Bluetooth/WLAN Hardware Switch on the backside of the X301 does not work properly, yet. Booting the X301 with Bt/WLAN switched off and turning the switch to "on" lead to a not working wireless connection, although "Enable Wireless" is checked in the network-manager applet. However, if I manually disable/enable "Enable Wireless" in the network-manager applet after such a boot process, the wireless connection starts to work correctly. --> Any hints someone hot to get the hardware switch working correctly?

== Ericsson F3507g Mobile Broadband Module ==

The WWAN part works out of the box on amd64 architecture and should work therefore on x86 too.

The GPS part works too, when sending the commands manually to the card as described in http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ericsson_F3507g_Mobile_Broadband_Module . However I couln't connect to /dev/ttyACMx with cu. I first had to change the owner of the devices as follows:

<pre>
sudo chown uucp.uucp /dev/ttyACMx
</pre>

== Bluetooth ==

Untested.

==Fan==

It is spinning at 50% (around 5000 rpm) almost all the time on default, rather the same situation as on Windows XP.
To get the X301 silent and cool, [http://www.gambitchess.org/mediawiki/index.php/ThinkPad_Fan_Control ThinkPad Fan Control] could be a solution.

Installing Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope (9.04) on an X301

2009-09-11T12:50:43Z

Guggenmusiker: /* Bluetooth */

Please improve on this preliminary effort.

==Overview==

Installation was done with a fresh Ubuntu 9.04 (x86, 32 Bit) and (amd64, 64 Bit). Overall impression: An installation without severe glitches so far. :-)

==Keyboard==

Pretty much all of the Fn+... keys work (not all tested yet)
tested: lock screen, brightness, sleep, hibernation, battery status, thinklight

To make the Mute button work add the kernel option '''acpi_osi="Linux"''' .

The volume buttons surprisingly don't change the volume(the display with the percentage appears,though). At least the on/off toggle button works.

==Ethernet==

Works out of the box.

==Wireless==

Works out of the box.

==Bluetooth/WLAN Hardware Switch==

The Bluetooth/WLAN Hardware Switch on the backside of the X301 does not work properly, yet. Booting the X301 with Bt/WLAN switched off and turning the switch to "on" lead to a not working wireless connection, although "Enable Wireless" is checked in the network-manager applet. However, if I manually disable/enable "Enable Wireless" in the network-manager applet after such a boot process, the wireless connection starts to work correctly. --> Any hints someone hot to get the hardware switch working correctly?

==Ericsson F3507g Mobile Broadband Module==

Work out of the box on amd64 version, should work therefore on x86 too.

The GPS works too, when sending the commands manually to the card as described in http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ericsson_F3507g_Mobile_Broadband_Module . However I couln't connect to /dev/ttyACMx with cu. I first had to change the owner of the devices as follows:

<pre>
sudo chown uucp.uucp /dev/ttyACMx
</pre>

== Bluetooth ==

Untested.

==Fan==

It is spinning at 50% (around 5000 rpm) almost all the time on default, rather the same situation as on Windows XP.
To get the X301 silent and cool, [http://www.gambitchess.org/mediawiki/index.php/ThinkPad_Fan_Control ThinkPad Fan Control] could be a solution.

* [http://www.snowtraces.com/x301_fan_long_time2.jpg After 2 hours normal work]
* [http://www.snowtraces.com/x301_fan_long_time2.jpg After 3 hours normal work]

You see, that the temperature is nearly the same everywhere, except for the last sensor.
So since these values can be taken as safe, we use them to create our own profile.
* [http://www.snowtraces.com/x301_fan_my_setting.jpg Mine looks like this]

If you stress your cpu with "stress -c 2", while having the standard profile(hw-controlled), the temperature get quite higher.

See my input on the tpfan Site: [https://answers.launchpad.net/tp-fan/+question/72479 Here] You can see, that I prepared data for all the sensors, also for when the temperature came back down after the stress-test.

Be aware that you use the herementioned profile on your own risk, please. My personal opinion: It is still TOO conservative.

==Power Management==

Seems to work fine - not fully tested yet.

Using a second battery instead of the CD-ROM drive works fine too.

==Display==

Works fine :-)

==Suspend and Hibernate==

Both work out of the box. But there might be a problem with the X Server crashing after resume (see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/340328 )

==Sound==

Works out of the box. Plugging in headphone or microphone will mute the internal devices and switch to external jacks.

Untested remain:
* usage with a sound server (esd)

==Camera==

Works out of the box (tested with [http://projects.gnome.org/cheese/ Cheese]) but on repeated use it often fails or blocks. Reloading the uvcvideo kernel module resets the camera.

==External Displays==
Works out of the box (dual screen and mirror screens). Tested with an Acer AL2223W monitor.

==Compiz / 3D Acceleration==

Works. But the performance of the Intel driver is not optimal.

Compiz is installed by default when using the Desktop CD. However the Compiz configuration and settings manager is missing. To install it do the following:

<pre>
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
</pre>

Furthermore it is recommended to install fusion icon too:

<pre>
sudo apt-get install fusion-icon
</pre>

==Boot time==

About 20s including time spent in BIOS and POST.

==Fingerprint Reader==

Doesn't currently work as it's an AuthenTec and not a Thompson chip. Linux driver is missing. Any news here?

==Trackpoint/Trackpad==

To make the trackpoint central button + mouse up/down to work as the scroll whell, you need to add this content to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi:

<pre>
<match key="info.product" string="PS/2 Generic Mouse">
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheel" type="string">true</merge>

To get the X301 silent and cool, [http://www.gambitchess.org/mediawiki/index.php/ThinkPad_Fan_Control ThinkPad Fan Control] may be a solution. However, a X301 fan profile is still missing. (Perhaps someone might provide a profile? I try to but I am not very lucking finding the right profile at the moment).

On Jaunty "System>Administration Fan Control Panels" does not work. You have to start it manually in the Terminal with
sudo tpfan-admin
A fix for the control panel underway.

==Power Management==

Seems to work fine - not fully tested yet.

==Display==

Works fine :-)

==Suspend and Hibernate==

Both work out of the box.

==Sound==

Works out of the box. Plugging in headphone or microphone will mute the internal devices and switch to external jacks.

Untested remain:
* usage with a sound server (esd)

==Camera==

Works out of the box (tested with [http://projects.gnome.org/cheese/ Cheese]) but on repeated use it often fails or blocks. Reloading the uvcvideo kernel module resets the camera.

==External Displays==
Works out of the box (dual screen and mirror screens). Tested with an Acer AL2223W monitor.

==Compiz / 3D Acceleration==

Works. But the performance of the intel driver in 9.04 is not optimal.

==Boot time==

About 20s including time spent in BIOS and POST.

==Fingerprint Reader==

Doesn't currently work as it's an AuthenTec and not a Thompson chip. Linux driver is missing. Any news here?

Installing Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope (9.04) on an X301

2009-05-01T10:13:31Z

Guggenmusiker: /* Credits */

Please improve on this preliminary effort.

==Overview==

Installation was done with a fresh Ubuntu 9.04 (x86, 32 bit).
Overall impression: an installation without severe glitches so far :-)

==Keyboard==

Pretty much all of the Fn+... keys work (not all tested yet)
tested: lock screen, brightness, sleep, hibernation, battery status, thinklight

To make the Mute button work add the kernel option '''acpi_osi="Linux"''' .

==Ethernet==

Works out of the box.

==Wireless==

Works out of the box.

==Ericsson F3507g Mobile Broadband Module==

Work out of the box.

Didn't check the GPS part.

==Bluetooth==

untested.

==Fan==

Guggenmusiker: Intially check of F3507g WWAN.

Please improve on this preliminary effort.

==Ethernet==

Works out of the box.

==Wireless==

Works out of the box.

==Ericsson F3507g Mobile Broadband Module==

Seems to work out of the box. At least it asks for the PIN and gets an IP. Didn't check if surfing is really working. Didn't check the GPS part.

==Bluetooth==

untested.

==Fan==

It is spinning lightly (2000-5000 rpm) almost all the time, rather the same situation as on Windows XP.
