<p>Herrboy: /* Suspend/Resume doesn't work out of the box (Solved) */ clarifying that you should leave the leading &quot;#&quot; alone, even though it looks like a comment.</p> <hr /> <div>The X61 is apparently very similar to a T61 internally. You may be able to find helpful tips in the <br /> installation instructions for the [[Installation_instructions_for_the_ThinkPad_T61|Installation instructions for the Thinkpad T61]] for problems that are not solved here.<br /> <br /> There is an [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=503233 Ubuntu forum thread] on installing Feisty Fawn on the X61.<br /> <br /> These [http://slackwiki.org/ThinkPad_X61s Slackware installation instructions] are also revealing.<br /> <br /> === X61 won't boot from the CD-ROM/DVD drive (Solved) ===<br /> <br /> Follow these instructions to enable your [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_drive optical drive]:<br /> <br /> # Reboot your X61. Press the ThinkVantage button quickly when you see the ThinkPad screen and then press F1 to enter [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS BIOS].<br /> # In BIOS, select Configure -&gt; Serial ATA.<br /> # Now, select Compatibility instead of AHCI.<br /> # Exit BIOS and start your computer normally.<br /> <br /> === Suspend/Resume doesn't work out of the box (Solved) ===<br /> <br /> Under GNOME, Suspend/Resume doesn't work out of the box. Fn-F4 does suspend and lid open does resume, but the backlight is off after resume.<br /> <br /> To fix this, do the following:<br /> <br /> # In the file /boot/grub/menu.lst, find the line beginning with &quot;# kopt=&quot;. This is where grub sets the options for your kernel. Append to this line the following: &quot; acpi_sleep=s3_bios&quot;. (That is, these words should be preceded by a space separating them from the existing options. Do not remove the initial &quot;#&quot; from the line.)<br /> <br /> # Run the command '''update-grub''' as root.<br /> <br /> === Known Issues under Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04 ===<br /> <br /> # Sound doesn't work. This should be fixed by the ALSA 1.0.15 release, due out in mid-September 2007. <br /> # Wireless doesn't work.<br /> # 2D graphics works fine, but there is no 3D acceleration yet.<br /> <br /> Fixes analogous to those for the T61 may address these.<br /> <br /> Further note: when you get sound working through ALSA, go to System-&gt;Preferences-&gt;Sound-&gt;Devices and select PCM. This will enable your Volume button to work.</div>
