* George Tellalov <gtellalov_dontspamme@bigfoot.com>. BIOS 1.16 from spsdin36.exe worked perfectly with the method bootable cd from floppy image. I highly recommend this upgrade because it made my ibm-acpi module load (it wouldn't load before) and fixed some suspend to ram problems. Here's the [http://george.tellalov.info/bios_upgrade_600e_spsdin36.iso cd image] I used. Use at your own risk. You can send me a chocolate if it works for you ;)

* Mike Vincent<matchstc-putobvioushere.com>. Bios 1.16 from spsdin36.exe and then to the boot cd worked great for me. Thought I had bricked it three separate times using a "real" floppy! Each from different diskettes .The updater would start, give me the "going to take30 seconds" speech...and then access the HD for 10 minutes. Each time it would reboot fine. Did the cd as described above...worked great first time. Perhaps 10 year old seldom used floppy disc drives have some challenges?

* Amit Gurdasani <gurdasani at yahoo dot com>. BIOS 1.13 flashed fine with cabextract/CD method. Alarmingly, after the BIOS update, the laptop beeped but did not shut down as was indicated onscreen -- that was frozen on the "do not shut down the laptop" screen. On power down and up again, the BIOS setup showed the newer BIOS image running, and Linux booted up fine. Linux ACPI didn't complain about the BIOS being too old either.

* Amit Gurdasani <gurdasani at yahoo dot com>. BIOS 1.13 flashed fine with cabextract/CD method. Alarmingly, after the BIOS update, the laptop beeped but did not shut down as was indicated onscreen -- that was frozen on the "do not shut down the laptop" screen. On power down and up again, the BIOS setup showed the newer BIOS image running, and Linux booted up fine. Linux ACPI didn't complain about the BIOS being too old either.

* Mike Vincent<matchstc-putobvioushere.com>. Bios 1.16 from spsdin36.exe and then to the boot cd worked great for me. Thought I had bricked it three separate times using a "real" floppy! Each from different diskettes .The updater would start, give me the "going to take30 seconds" speech...and then access the HD for 10 minutes. Each time it would reboot fine. Did the cd as described above...worked great first time. Perhaps 10 year old seldom used floppy disc drives have some challenges?

* Amit Gurdasani <gurdasani at yahoo dot com>. BIOS 1.13 flashed fine with cabextract/CD method. Alarmingly, after the BIOS update, the laptop beeped but did not shut down as was indicated onscreen -- that was frozen on the "do not shut down the laptop" screen. On power down and up again, the BIOS setup showed the newer BIOS image running, and Linux booted up fine. Linux ACPI didn't complain about the BIOS being too old either.

= Identification =

<pre>
# lspci | grep Netw
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82567LF Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03)
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Device 423d
</pre>

'''423d''' seems to be a cryptic alias for Intel WiMAX/WiFi Link 5150 controller.

= Support =

Support for Intel WiMAX/WiFi Link 5150/5350 WiFi/WiMAX was added to the kernel since version '''2.6.27''', driver '''iwlagn''' is used for that.

= Firmware =

In order to get it working you need to download proprietary firmware (freely distributed, though) from Intel's site: http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/?n=downloads , look for '''5150 Images'''. 
After downloading unpack the archive and copy the .ucode file into /lib/firmware dir.

*the H is for Hitachi
*[t] is a single letter designating the drive type, like
** T = Travelstar
** D = Deskstar
** E = Endurastar
*[T] - S for Standard (vs A for Auto for example) - I don't know what this mean :)
*[rr] is the first two digits of speed in RPM, i.e. 54 for 5400 RPM.
*[SS] maximum disk size in model line.
*[ss] is two digits giving the size in GB. 100gig drives have a 10 here.
*[g] generation code
*[h] is the drives height in full millimeters, first digit, i.e. 9 for 9.5mm or some code for desktop: i.e. L - 1-inch form-factor.
*[ii] is a two digit code for the drives interface, like this:
**AT = IDE/ATA
**SA = IDE/SATA
**CE = IDE/ZIF
**CF = Compact Flash
**L3 = SCSI/Ultra320
**LF = FC-AL
*two numerical digits are following, might be some kind of revision, might be something else. Upd: for DeskStar 1st is buffer size (2 - 2MB 8 - 8MB) and 2nd is reserved.

How to configure the TrackPoint

2009-10-27T14:43:41Z

Helge: Added some more examples

{| width="100%"
|style="vertical-align:top;padding-right:20px;width:10px;white-space:nowrap;" | __TOC__
|style="vertical-align:top" |Below are several ways of configuring the kernel psmouse driver for controlling extended TrackPoint features.
|}

= Configuration using Gnome=
If you are using GNOME, you might want to use [http://tpctl.sourceforge.net/configure-trackpoint.html configure-trackpoint] as a graphical frontend.

= Configuration using udev and HAL =
Modern distributions like Ubuntu 8.10 and Fedora 10 use udev and HAL to configure the input devices. You should no longer make changes to xorg.conf as by default Xorg (through the evdev driver) will let the kernel now handle input devices.

But before you get started on this you should make sure you have all the updates applied from your distro vendor as both Ubuntu 8.10 and Fedora 10 require some additional fixes that you will need.

=== Scrolling ===
By default the middle mouse button is that, a middle mouse button, which in Linux is used for the Paste operation.

But you can configure it to act in the same way as in Windows, such that you can use it for vertical scrolling (keep the button pressed and move the TrackPoint up and down to scroll). To accomplish this create the file {{path|/etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi}} as root with the following content:

<pre>
<match key="info.product" string="TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint">
<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.YAxisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.Emulate3Buttons" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelTimeout" type="string">200</merge>
</match>
</pre>

If you also want to have horizontal scrolling, simply add the following XAxisMapping option to the above
<pre>
<merge key="input.x11_options.XAxisMapping" type="string">6 7</merge>
</pre>
After this reboot, or restart the hal service and Xorg. You can validate the settings with {{cmd|lshal|}}.

In some models (eg: X301) you may have to use "PS/2 Generic Mouse" instead of "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint". Have a look to your input devices typing <code>lshal|grep input.product</code>.

====Reactivate Scrolling after suspend/resume====
Scrolling may be disabled after a resume from suspend.

You can manually reactivate the trackpoint by reloading the {{path|psmouse}} module as root:
:{{cmdroot|rmmod psmouse && modprobe psmouse}}

You can automatically force the pm-utils to reload this module.
Create a file {{path|/etc/pm/config.d/01reload_mouse}} as root with the following content:
<pre>
# reload psmouse to reactivate trackpoint scrolling
SUSPEND_MODULES="${SUSPEND_MODULES:+$SUSPEND_MODULES }psmouse"
</pre>

===Configuring other options (e.g. Press to select, Sensitivity and Speed)===

Create a file {{path|/etc/udev/rules.d/10-trackpoint.rules}} and add a line to suit your needs

<pre>
SUBSYSTEM=="serio", DRIVERS=="psmouse", ATTR{press_to_select}="1", ATTR{sensitivity}="122"
</pre>

Testing udev with {{cmdroot|udevadm test /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1}} should apply the new changes. All of the settings listed [[How to configure the TrackPoint#Sysfs_Options_Reference|below]] can be specified here as part of a comma separated list.

=Configuration using xinput=
If you want to modify changes on the fly, you can do so with {{cmd|xinput|}} (part of the optional xorg-x11-apps rpm on Fedora).
Note that these changes are not saved when the xserver is restarted.

To query the available options
xinput list-props "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"

More information can be found in the man-pages for evdev
man evdev

To enable vertical scrolling
xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation" 8 1
xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation Button" 8 2
xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation Timeout" 16 200

To enable middle button emulation (using left- and right-click simultaneously)
xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Middle Button Emulation" 8 1
xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Middle Button Timeout" 16 50

{{Todo|some other examples}}

=Configuration using sysfs=
Another way to modify changes on the fly, is echoing values directly into special files in sysfs.

{{NOTE|
The examples shown below are valid for ThinkPads with both TrackPoint and Touchpad, in which case the sysfs path is {{path|/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2}}.

If however you have a ThinkPad without Touchpad, or with the Touchpad disabled in the BIOS, the sysfs path needs to be changed to {{path|/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1}} instead (notice the missing serio2 at the end).}}

If you want to set the sysfs parameters at boot, you can use the [http://linux-diag.sourceforge.net/Sysfsutils.html sysfsutils] and put the preferred value in /etc/sysfs.conf.

===Press to Select===
Press to Select allows you to tap the control stick which will simulate a left click. You can enable this feature by typing the following in to a terminal (you may need to be root):

:{{cmdroot|echo -n 1 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/press_to_select}}

Press to Select should now be enabled. You can disable it in a similar manner:

:{{cmdroot|echo -n 0 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/press_to_select}}

You can use this script to automate the operation

#!/bin/bash
if [ "$1" = "1" ]; then
echo "Turning on tap on TrackPoint"
echo -n 1 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/press_to_select
exit 0
fi
if [ "$1" = "0" ]; then
echo "Turning off tap on TrackPoint"
echo -n 0 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/press_to_select
exit 0
fi
echo -n "Tap status: "
cat /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/press_to_select

In Ubuntu 8.10 to make Press to Select a permanent change:

echo -n 1 | tee /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/press_to_select

As root, append the above command above "exit 0" in /etc/gdm/Init/Default

===Sensitivity & Speed===
Adjusting the speed and sensitivity of the TrackPoint requires echoing a value between 0 and 255 into the appropriate file. For example, for a speed of 120 and a sensitivity of 250, type the following into a terminal:

:{{cmdroot|echo -n 120 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/speed}}
:{{cmdroot|echo -n 250 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/sensitivity}}

Feel free to experiment with your settings until you find a combination that is comfortable.

When you satisfy your setting, add the two lines into /etc/rc.d/rc.local in order to avoid restoring the default setting every time the system reboots. In Ubuntu 9.10, add the lines to /etc/rc.local to avoid this.

===Vertical Scrolling===
No sysfs entry exists for vertical scrolling in kernels after 2.6.11.

The feature was removed as it was not a hardware feature, but rather emulating a scroll action in software and as such did not belong in the kernel.
Instead the scroll feature of the Xserver should be used, which can be activated with HAL or xinput as described above.

=Configuration using the X server (old Xorg only)=
{{NOTE|This only applies to old distributions with Xorg versions that did not yet use evdev. For modern distributions use one of the other methods}}
The scroll setting has been removed from the trackpoint driver in kernel versions 2.6.11 and above. Scroll emulation should now be handled in the X server.

A nice side effect of that is, that middle button scrolling applies to any mouse and not just the TrackPoint interface, which can be a quite handy feature for desktop computers or people who prefer to use an external mouse, especially when scrolling through long lists or needing to use horizontal scrolling with a mouse which has only a vertical scroll wheel.

The necessary functionality, known as "EmulateWheelTimeout" allowing to use button 2 for a middle click, wasn't implemented in Xorg prior to 6.9/7.0. However, there was a patch included in most distributions packages of Xorg, which was announced [http://www.mail-archive.com/devel@xfree86.org/msg03333.html here]. You can find an updated version of the package in the experimental branch of {{Debian}} or try to build the mouse driver yourself with the information in the announcement. This has successfully been tried with FC3's 6.8.2 packages.

Once this functionality is in the X.org, add these lines to your TrackPoint configuration section in {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}}:

Option "EmulateWheel" "on"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"

It may also be necessary to add these lines:

Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"

which specify which buttons are mapped to motion in the vertical (Y) and horizontal (X) directions, respectively, in wheel emulation mode (see http://www.xfree86.org/current/mouse.4.html).

{{HINT| Use the program "xev" to see, what mouse button identifiers are sent by your mouse/touchpad/trackpoint. You might want to try: "xev | grep button"}}
{{HINT| If it does not work see if evdev is installed and remove it. On gentoo do the following: 
eix xf86-input-evdev 
emerge -C xf86-input-evdev 
and then remove the evdev flag in make.conf INPUT_DEVICES}}

So, a complete mouse section, that implements this nicely and works very well on my R51, even with a simultaneously connected USB mouse, looks like that (tried out today, 20th of September, 2006 on Dapper):

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
Option "Emulate3TimeOut" "50"
Option "EmulateWheel" "on"
Option "EmulateWheelTimeOut" "200"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

The mappings for Y and Z are the same, since the "Z-Axis" refers to actual hardware scrolling wheels which usually scroll the screen along the Y-Axis. If there is no hardware scrolling wheel present, horizontal and vertical scrolling using the TrackPoint work fine without the Z-Axis line.

Now restart X and hold down button 2 and move the mouse to scroll, or just press and release button 2 for a middle click.

To make this work with the synaptics driver for the touchpad, you can add
Option "GuestMouseOff" "1"
to the synaptics device section. This will make the synaptics driver ignore the Trackpoint, so it will be handled by the mouse driver. This allowed me to disable the touchpad while making the TrackPoint work like it should.

{{NOTE| With the above mouse section in my xorg.conf all this works like a charm:
*I can press the wheel on my external USB mouse and move the mouse up and down for scrolling
*or I can just use the wheel on the external mouse for scrolling
*or pressing the MMB button of the trackpoint and use the trackpoint for scrolling.
*Even horizontal scrolling works automagically in Konqueror, for Firefox/Opera see below.

Simultaneously I can use
*a press on the external mouse's wheel
*or the MMB of the trackpoint

for pasting the buffer. Lovely! :) }}

{{HINT| If you don't use the middle-mouse-button for pasting and sometimes pasting things by mistake while scrolling (witch is really odd) simply set the "EmulateWheelTimeOut" to "1" as a (bloody) workaround. Middle click will only possible with pressing left and right button simultaneously!}}
=Application specific tweaks=
===Configure Opera for using trackpoint horizontal scrolling===
To fix horizontal scrolling in Opera, you need to edit the configfile <tt>standard_mouse.ini</tt> in e.g. /usr/share/opera/ini/ (Debian) or /opt/opera/share/opera/ini/ (Gentoo) and comment out the following lines
<pre>
Button6 = Back
Button7 = Forward
</pre>
so they look like that
<pre>
;Button6 = Back
;Button7 = Forward
</pre>
Remember, Button6 and Button7 do not so coincidental correspond with our X configuration we know from above:
<pre>
Option "YAxisMapping" "6 7"
</pre>
After this change you will be able to scroll vertically and horizontally with your middle button.

===Firefox 3 tweaks===
These settings make Firefox on Linux behave more like the Windows version. They were tested on an out of the box Fedora 10 system on a Thinkpad T61. Go into about:config, and set the following:

middlemouse.paste = false
middlemouse.contentLoadURL = false
general.autoScroll = true

How to configure the TrackPoint

2009-10-27T14:27:35Z

Helge: Title: Vertical Scrolling -> Scrolling

{| width="100%"
|style="vertical-align:top;padding-right:20px;width:10px;white-space:nowrap;" | __TOC__
|style="vertical-align:top" |Below are several ways of configuring the kernel psmouse driver for controlling extended TrackPoint features.
|}

= Configuration using Gnome=
If you are using GNOME, you might want to use [http://tpctl.sourceforge.net/configure-trackpoint.html configure-trackpoint] as a graphical frontend.

= Configuration using udev and HAL =
Modern distributions like Ubuntu 8.10 and Fedora 10 use udev and HAL to configure the input devices. You should no longer make changes to xorg.conf as by default Xorg (through the evdev driver) will let the kernel now handle input devices.

But before you get started on this you should make sure you have all the updates applied from your distro vendor as both Ubuntu 8.10 and Fedora 10 require some additional fixes that you will need.

=== Scrolling ===
By default the middle mouse button is that, a middle mouse button, which in Linux is used for the Paste operation.

But you can configure it to act in the same way as in Windows, such that you can use it for vertical scrolling (keep the button pressed and move the TrackPoint up and down to scroll). To accomplish this create the file {{path|/etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi}} as root with the following content:

<pre>
<match key="info.product" string="TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint">
<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.YAxisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.Emulate3Buttons" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelTimeout" type="string">200</merge>
</match>
</pre>

If you also want to have horizontal scrolling, simply add the following XAxisMapping option to the above
<pre>
<merge key="input.x11_options.XAxisMapping" type="string">6 7</merge>
</pre>
After this reboot, or restart the hal service and Xorg. You can validate the settings with {{cmd|lshal|}}.

In some models (eg: X301) you may have to use "PS/2 Generic Mouse" instead of "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint". Have a look to your input devices typing <code>lshal|grep input.product</code>.

====Reactivate Scrolling after suspend/resume====
Scrolling may be disabled after a resume from suspend.

You can manually reactivate the trackpoint by reloading the {{path|psmouse}} module as root:
:{{cmdroot|rmmod psmouse && modprobe psmouse}}

You can automatically force the pm-utils to reload this module.
Create a file {{path|/etc/pm/config.d/01reload_mouse}} as root with the following content:
<pre>
# reload psmouse to reactivate trackpoint scrolling
SUSPEND_MODULES="${SUSPEND_MODULES:+$SUSPEND_MODULES }psmouse"
</pre>

===Configuring other options (e.g. Press to select, Sensitivity and Speed)===

Create a file {{path|/etc/udev/rules.d/10-trackpoint.rules}} and add a line to suit your needs

<pre>
SUBSYSTEM=="serio", DRIVERS=="psmouse", ATTR{press_to_select}="1", ATTR{sensitivity}="122"
</pre>

Testing udev with {{cmdroot|udevadm test /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1}} should apply the new changes. All of the settings listed [[How to configure the TrackPoint#Sysfs_Options_Reference|below]] can be specified here as part of a comma separated list.

=Configuration using xinput=
If you want to modify changes on the fly, you can do so with {{cmd|xinput|}} (part of the optional xorg-x11-apps rpm on Fedora).
Note that these changes are not saved when the xserver is restarted.

To query the available options
xinput list-props "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"

To enable vertical scrolling
xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Wheel Emulation" 8 1
xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Wheel Emulation Button" 8 2

{{Todo|some other examples}}

=Configuration using sysfs=
Another way to modify changes on the fly, is echoing values directly into special files in sysfs.

{{NOTE|
The examples shown below are valid for ThinkPads with both TrackPoint and Touchpad, in which case the sysfs path is {{path|/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2}}.

If however you have a ThinkPad without Touchpad, or with the Touchpad disabled in the BIOS, the sysfs path needs to be changed to {{path|/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1}} instead (notice the missing serio2 at the end).}}

If you want to set the sysfs parameters at boot, you can use the [http://linux-diag.sourceforge.net/Sysfsutils.html sysfsutils] and put the preferred value in /etc/sysfs.conf.

===Press to Select===
Press to Select allows you to tap the control stick which will simulate a left click. You can enable this feature by typing the following in to a terminal (you may need to be root):

:{{cmdroot|echo -n 1 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/press_to_select}}

Press to Select should now be enabled. You can disable it in a similar manner:

:{{cmdroot|echo -n 0 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/press_to_select}}

You can use this script to automate the operation

#!/bin/bash
if [ "$1" = "1" ]; then
echo "Turning on tap on TrackPoint"
echo -n 1 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/press_to_select
exit 0
fi
if [ "$1" = "0" ]; then
echo "Turning off tap on TrackPoint"
echo -n 0 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/press_to_select
exit 0
fi
echo -n "Tap status: "
cat /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/press_to_select

In Ubuntu 8.10 to make Press to Select a permanent change:

echo -n 1 | tee /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/press_to_select

As root, append the above command above "exit 0" in /etc/gdm/Init/Default

===Sensitivity & Speed===
Adjusting the speed and sensitivity of the TrackPoint requires echoing a value between 0 and 255 into the appropriate file. For example, for a speed of 120 and a sensitivity of 250, type the following into a terminal:

:{{cmdroot|echo -n 120 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/speed}}
:{{cmdroot|echo -n 250 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/sensitivity}}

How to use cpufrequtils

2007-05-02T14:25:17Z

Helge: notes update in examples section

{{NOTE|See the [[How_to_make_use_of_Dynamic_Frequency_Scaling|Dynamic Frequency Scaling HOWTO]] on how to avoid using cpu frequency scaling daemons by using the kernel builtin ondemand governor.}}

==What is it?==
cpufrequtils is used to control the CPU frequency scaling deamon (speedstep, throttling, ...).

This package mainly has 2 programs:
:{{path|/usr/bin/cpufreq-info}}
:{{path|/usr/bin/cpufreq-set}}
It's basically a user-friendly alternative to using the [[How_to_make_use_of_Dynamic_Frequency_Scaling#Using_the_Sys_Interface|Sys interface]].

Frequency scaling allows you to set the CPU frequency on-the-fly or specify an automatic governor. By lowering the CPU frequency when your computer is idle, you can preserve a lot of battery power and keep the system cool.

By default most systems use the ''ondemand'' governor. For battery powered environments, the ''conservative'' and ''powersave'' governors are more favorable.

===Installation===
====Ubuntu====
To install it on [[Ubuntu]], install the package cpufrequtils from your package manager or a terminal:
user@host:~$ sudo aptitude install cpufrequtils

==Using cpufrequtils==

===cpufreq-info===

current policy: frequency should be within 798 MHz and 2.00 GHz.
The governor "conservative" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency is 798 MHz.

===cpufreq-set===
Allows setting
-d minimum frequency,
-u maximum frequency,
-f specific frequency (userspace governor must be set first) and
-g governor on a
-c specific CPU.
cpufreq-set needs root privileges in order to work.

===Examples===
{{NOTE|Use cpufreq-info to see which frequencies and governors are available for your CPU. Examples were made on a Z60m with Intel Pentium M 2.0Ghz.}}
{{NOTE|''sudo'' is used in these examples to grant root privileges.}}

Activate the ''conservative'' governor to save a little extra power by letting the CPU stay longer at each frequency step before changing:
user@host:~$ sudo cpufreq-set -g conservative

Set the upper frequency limit to 1.6Ghz:
user@host:~$ sudo cpufreq-set -u 1.6Ghz

Manually set the frequency to a constant 800Mhz (userspace governor):
user@host:~$ sudo cpufreq-set -g userspace
user@host:~$ sudo cpufreq-set -f 800Mhz

Installing Ubuntu on a ThinkPad Z60m

2007-03-05T22:42:51Z

Helge: typos...

== Xubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft ==
Tested and works "out-of-the-box".
* ATI Radeon Mobility X600 (runs with the "ati" driver)
* CardBus with Netgear WG511T wireless card
* Network card
* Sound (speakers, headset, front mic)
* Suspend & hibernate
* Wireless

== ATI X600 & fglrx ==
Following the [[Fglrx | installation guide]], no fatal problems have been encountered so far.

However, '''suspend and hibernate seems broken''' when the FGLRX drivers are used. Upon resume the screen remains black with only the mouse pointer and highlighted icons showing. No windows are drawn, switching to terminal and back doesn't help. You will have to restart X (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace).

Table of thinkpad-acpi LEDs

2007-03-05T22:23:30Z

Helge: Added Z60m (same results as Z61m)

This table contains informations about which LED number is used for which LED in the [[ibm-acpi]] driver.

To test please do the following and add the blinking LED to the table. The moon symbol is the standby led.

<pre>
echo "0 blink" > /proc/acpi/ibm/led
echo "1 blink" > /proc/acpi/ibm/led
echo "2 blink" > /proc/acpi/ibm/led
echo "3 blink" > /proc/acpi/ibm/led
echo "4 blink" > /proc/acpi/ibm/led
echo "5 blink" > /proc/acpi/ibm/led
echo "6 blink" > /proc/acpi/ibm/led
echo "7 blink" > /proc/acpi/ibm/led
echo "on" > /proc/acpi/ibm/light
</pre>

How to disable the pc speaker (beep!)

2007-03-02T11:46:24Z

Helge: /* Re-enabling the pc speaker */

Get rid of the annoying beeps in Linux (Xubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft): Remove the pc speaker module "pcspkr".

Open a terminal and issue this command as root:
rmmod pcspkr

To prevent the "pcspkr" module from loading again at startup, open /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist with your favorite text editor (as root) and add following lines to the end of the file:
# disable the **** pc speaker
blacklist pcspkr

==Re-enabling the pc speaker==
Temporarily activate it by loading the module (run this from a terminal with root privileges):
modprobe pcspkr

If you don't want to prevent the module from loading during startup, delete the lines from /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist described in the previous section.
