[[:Category:T400|T400]] '''Site under construction. You are invited building an useful guidance!'''

==Before Installation==

Before you can start Ubuntu from CD or USB you have to change two BIOS settings:
* Change to Internal or ATI Graphics with Config --> Display --> Graphics Device --> [Integrated graphics] or [Discrete Graphics]
* Disable OS Detection for Switchable Graphics. Otherwise it will mysteriously switch back to Switchable Graphics.

Now you can boot your Live-CD, connect to Wireless Lan, and install the OS.

==What works out of the box?==

*Wireless with iwlagn driver ([[Intel WiFi Link 5100/5300 WLAN controller]])
**G mode + WEP and WPA2 PSK (If you have the ThinkPad 11b/g Wireless LAN mini PCI Express Adapter III (Aetheros Chipset), see below!)
**with status LED and everything!
*Bluetooth
**Even with [[Bluetooth Laser Mouse]]
*[[Ethernet Controllers#Intel Gigabit (10/100/1000)|Intel Gigabit Ethernet Controller]]
*Intel driver for Integrated Graphics ([[Intel Integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD]])
** with 3D acceleration out-of-the-box
** VGA output - mirrored and extended desktop both work, but might need to run the following to enable 1600x1200 resolution
{{cmduser|sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg}}
*ATI [[fglrx]] driver for Discrete Graphics ([[ATI Mobility Radeon 3470 graphics]])
**To enjoy 3D acceleration, you have to install the proprietary [[fglrx]] Driver. (for example with the jockey-gtk tool)
*Touchpoint and Trackpad
**Including scroll at the right side of the pad by default. (for scrolling with the middle mouse button, see below!)
*Optical drive
**Not tested burning yet
*Sound card
**To use your internal microphone you have to change to "HDA Intel CONEXANT Analog (ALSA)" in audio-settings.
*built-in webcam with Skype
*7-in-1 card reader from Ricoh (MMC, Memory Stick, Mem Stick Pro, SD, SDHC, XD, XD Type H Memory)
**Only tested SD cards.
*Control buttons/Hotkeys
**Volume control buttons
**Screen brightness control (but changing brightness is a little bit diffuse. It's getting brighter but on maximum it changes to nearly lowest and get brighter again.)
**Thinklight control
**WLAN/BT/OFF toggle (Fn+F5 and mechanical toggle)
**Media player control
*Some ACPI features
**Battery status, power graphs and history (tested with an single 6-Cell battery)
**Lid states and events

==What needs some Tweaks?==

====[[ThinkVantage Button]] {{ibmkey|ThinkVantage|#495988}}====

Edit the file /usr/share/hotkey-setup/ibm.hk with adding this line:

setkeycodes e017 148 #thinkpad button

You have to restart, then you refer a program with the "System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts"-Menu (eg. Terminal, Firefox,...).

====Internal LCD Resolution Fix====

The native screen resolution of 1440x900 is not detected automatically. The problem is that a secondary cloned display is set to 1360x768, and is being displayed on the integrated screen. Disable screen cloning, and disable the secondary display to fix the problem. For a complete fix, a restart of X is required (CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE) is required, and when logging in again, you may need to fix your dock icon positions.

However, GDM still displays at either 1152x864 or 1360x768, creating a fuzzy image, or leaving borders at right and bottom, respectively. But it isn't a problem after logging in.

{{Todo|Do you know how to fix this?}}

====Shutdown freezes sometimes====

It seems that ALSA has problems to shut down if network devices are still active.
You can force ALSA during its unloading to disable the networking first (remember to backup your files!):
sudo gedit /etc/init.d/alsa_utils
Search for "stop)" and add immediately below:

ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig wlan0 down

'''NOTE''' - This doesn't seem to be a problem with Madwifi drivers, it is created by the Intel wireless card?

Now your shutdown should go smoothly.

====VGA Output Resolution Fix====

To enable 1600x1200 resolution to show up, run
{{cmduser|sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg}}

====ThinkPad 11b/g Wireless LAN mini PCI Express Adapter III (Atheros AR5007EG/AR2425 Chipset)====

There are two options for drivers here, the ath5k project, or older Madwifi drivers. The Madwifi drivers are based on the older, closed source HAL by Atheros, and the ath5k driver are based on the newer open source HAL by Atheros. Note that you should not enable more than one Atheros driver, or they will conflict with each other (this includes ath5k, ath9k, and Madwifi). If you need both BG & N support, do not use ath5k & ath9k, use Madwifi instead (only applicable if you are running multiple wireless cards).

'''NOTE:''' One user (with the a B/G card) reports that wireless performance was awful with the FOSS ath5k driver, but smooth and nice with Madwifi. YMMV - Also, the ath5k do not correctly detect hardware settings such as txpower.

'''Installing the ath5k drivers from the compat-wireless package'''

Original discussion thread: [http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6071960&postcount=2]

1. Become the super user of the system:

{{cmduser|sudo su}}

*NOTE: Becareful here, as you have complete access to the system, and can do damage if careless. Optionally, you can work as a normal user, and preface each command with sudo.

Disable any currently running Madwifi drivers by running this in the terminal:

{{cmdroot|rmmod ath_pci; rmmod ath_hal}}

3. These drivers require source compilitation, so the build-essential package is required:

{{cmdroot|apt-get install build-essential}}

4. Enter the /usr/src directory, and download the source package:

{{cmdroot|cd /usr/src; wget http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2008-10-31.tar.bz2}}

5. Extract the source and enter the directory:

{{cmdroot|tar xjvf compat-wireless-2008-10-31.tar.bz2; cd compat-wireless-2008-10-31}}

6. Take a quick look at the README:

{{cmdroot|less README}}

7. Begin the compiliation process

{{cmdroot|make}}

8. Next, disable any active wireless connections, and run a script to make sure all wireless drivers that are going to be replaced are unloaded:

{{cmdroot|make unload}}

9. Install the drivers:

{{cmdroot|make install}}

10. If everything completed without errors, load the ath5k module:

{{cmdroot|modprobe ath5k}}

11. Check to make sure the new drivers detected the wireless card (you may need to adjust the interface name if you have several wireless cards):

{{cmdroot|ifconfig wlan0 up; iwconfig}}

NOTE: When I first installed these drivers, they were unable to bring the MAC chip up, and needed a restart.

12. Clean the src directory

{{cd /usr/src; rm compat-wireless-2008-10-31}}

NOTE: You can also delete the compat-wireless-2008-10-31/ folder if you need to recover the space, but it is useful to keep because the Makefile has a 'make uninstall' switch.

13. Last, blacklist any other drivers that may interfere with the new ath5k drivers:

{{echo "blacklist ath_pci" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist; echo "blacklist ath_hal" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist}}

'''Installing the Madwifi drivers:'''

The following instructions were originally found here [http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5711824&postcount=6]:

1. Under System/Administration/HarwareDrivers disable "Support for Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards

2. Reboot

3. The kernel headers and the compiler are needed to build this driver so install build-essential. In a terminal window (Applications/Accessories/Terminal) enter:

{{cmduser|sudo apt-get install build-essential}}

4. Install Subversion

{{cmduser|sudo apt-get install subversion}}

5. Checkout the Madwifi drivers to a directory on your local disk

{{cmduser|cd~}}
{{cmduser|mkdir madwifi}}
{{cmduser|cd madwifi}}
{{cmduser|svn co https://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/branches/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6}}

6. Build the drivers

{{cmduser|cd madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6}}
{{cmduser|make}}

7. Install the drivers

{{cmduser|make install}}

8. Add the Atheros kernel module to the list of modules to be automatically loaded at boot by adding "ath_pci" (without the quotes) to the end of the /etc/modules file and save the file

{{cmduser|sudo gedit /etc/modules}}

9. Now you can reboot and it should work. To get it working without a reboot you need to load the module manually you can use

{{cmduser|sudo modprobe ath_pci}}

====Scrolling with Trackpoint====

Create a new file called /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi typing:

{{cmduser|sudo gedit /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi}}

And fill it with this code:

<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.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>

(Based on code from [http://mvogt.wordpress.com/2008/08/15/xorg-evdev-and-emulatewheel/ Michael Vogt] and adapted to support both vertical and horizontal scrolling.)

==What doesn't work at the moment?==

====[[Integrated Fingerprint Reader]]====

Theres a new chipset build in, the "AuthenTec AES2810". So neither the [http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net thinkfinger] nor the [http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Main_Page fprint] Project support this Device at the moment.

lsusb:
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 08ff:2810 AuthenTec, Inc.

====[[Switchable Graphics]]====

I installed Ubuntu 8.10 with the on-board Intel Graphic chip. So 3D acceleration works out-of-the-box.

Then I booted with the ATI Graphics, which was no problem, because the [[radeon]] driver works very well, but only in 2D.

After installing [[fglrx]] packages, jockey also found out, that proprietary drivers are available. So i let him configure my xorg.conf:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load "glx"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series"
BusID "PCI:01:00.0"
Driver "fglrx"
EndSection

After reboot also Compiz works (but not so smooth as with Intel, i allege)

'''Problem:''' Strating up with integrated graphic again, no 3D desktop works. After removing all [[fglrx]] packages, Compiz normally works.

So i changed my xorg.conf using the [[radeon]] driver, succeeding to have 3D on onboard Graphics and 2D on ATI Graphics.

I also tried [[radeonhd]] driver, which does not work.

'''Note 1:''' I got tired of going in to BIOS to switch chipsets, so I explicitly set the BusID in xorg.conf. The problem with this approach is that power consumption doubles, even when you are not using the discrete graphics card. I had 28W consumption when in switchable graphics mode, and 16W consumption when I configured "Integrated graphics" in BIOS.

'''Note 2:''' fglrx diverts libGL.so.1.2 that is installed by mesa. This means that you can't simply swap xorg.conf files and kernel modules, you need to replace libGL.so.1.2 with the proper one if you want restart X with a certain chipset.

{{Todo|Maybe anybody can get both working!}}

====Suspend/Hibernate====

Neither Suspend nor Hibernate work for me. They fall asleep, but when waking up only the mousepointer is on the screen, put neither keyboard, nor mouse showing response.

But sometimes it works without any problems. I tested it out about 15 times... two suspends and one hibernate worked.

Here's a [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6057496 Ubuntu forum discussion thread] about the problem - sounds like it might be gnome-specific (?). No fix known yet, afaik.

I don't know what's going wrong.
{{Todo| Anybody an idea? }}

====Menu-Key====

I changed keyboard modell to "IBM Thinkpad R60/T60/R61/T61" using the "German Dead acute" Layout.

But also with these settings my menu-key does not work.
I tried to refer it with Firefox using the keyborad shortcuts-tool. It writes: "XF86WakeUp"

'''Problem:''' The FN-Key also writes "XF86WakeUp", which is not so practical, so I removed allocation!

{{Todo| Is ist possible to have an real menu-key?}}

==Not tested yet==

====[[Active Protection System]]====

There is no patch for Kernel 2.6.27-7 at the moment to use [[HDAPS]]. See also [[How to protect the harddisk through APS]].

====VGA/HDMI====
*NEC MultiSync LCD 2190UX - VGA tested and working in mirrored and extended desktop modes (had to run {{cmduser|sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg}} to get 1600x1200 resolution to show up)

==What needs some Tweaks?==

====[[ThinkVantage Button]] {{ibmkey|ThinkVantage|#495988}}====

Edit the file /usr/share/hotkey-setup/ibm.hk with adding this line:

setkeycodes e017 148 #thinkpad button

You have to restart, then you refer a program with the "System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts"-Menu (eg. Terminal, Firefox,...).

====Internal LCD Resolution Fix====

The native screen resolution of 1440x900 is not detected automatically. The problem is that a secondary cloned display is set to 1360x768, and is being displayed on the integrated screen. Disable screen cloning, and disable the secondary display to fix the problem. For a complete fix, a restart of X is required (CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE) is required, and when logging in again, you may need to fix your dock icon positions.

However, GDM still displays 1360x768, leaving borders at right and bottom. But it isn't a problem after logging in.

{{Todo|Do you know how to fix this?}}

====Shutdown freezes sometimes====

It seems that ALSA has problems to shut down if network devices are still active.
You can force ALSA during its unloading to disable the networking first (remember to backup your files!):
sudo gedit /etc/init.d/alsa_utils
Search for "stop)" and add immediately below:

ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig wlan0 down

Now your shutdown should go smoothly.

====VGA Output Resolution Fix====

To enable 1600x1200 resolution to show up, run
{{cmduser|sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg}}

====ThinkPad 11b/g Wireless LAN mini PCI Express Adapter III (Atheros AR5007EG/AR2425 Chipset)====

There are two options for drivers here, the ath5k project, or older Madwifi drivers. The Madwifi drivers are based on the older, closed source HAL by Atheros, and the ath5k driver are based on the newer open source HAL by Atheros. Note that you should not enable more than one Atheros driver, or they will conflict with each other (this includes ath5k, ath9k, and Madwifi). If you need both BG & N support, do not use ath5k & ath9k, use Madwifi instead (only applicable if you are running multiple wireless cards).

'''NOTE:''' One user (with the a B/G card) reports that wireless performance was awful with the FOSS ath5k driver, but smooth and nice with Madwifi. YMMV - Also, the ath5k do not correctly detect hardware settings such as txpower.

'''Installing the ath5k drivers from the compat-wireless package'''

Original discussion thread: [http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6071960&postcount=2]

1. Become the super user of the system:

{{cmduser|sudo su}}

*NOTE: Becareful here, as you have complete access to the system, and can do damage if careless. Optionally, you can work as a normal user, and preface each command with sudo.

Disable any currently running Madwifi drivers by running this in the terminal:

{{cmdroot|rmmod ath_pci; rmmod ath_hal}}

3. These drivers require source compilitation, so the build-essential package is required:

{{cmdroot|apt-get install build-essential}}

4. Enter the /usr/src directory, and download the source package:

{{cmdroot|cd /usr/src; wget http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2008-10-31.tar.bz2}}

5. Extract the source and enter the directory:

{{cmdroot|tar xjvf compat-wireless-2008-10-31.tar.bz2; cd compat-wireless-2008-10-31}}

6. Take a quick look at the README:

{{cmdroot|less README}}

7. Begin the compiliation process

{{cmdroot|make}}

8. Next, disable any active wireless connections, and run a script to make sure all wireless drivers that are going to be replaced are unloaded:

{{cmdroot|make unload}}

9. Install the drivers:

{{cmdroot|make install}}

10. If everything completed without errors, load the ath5k module:

{{cmdroot|modprobe ath5k}}

11. Check to make sure the new drivers detected the wireless card (you may need to adjust the interface name if you have several wireless cards):

{{cmdroot|ifconfig wlan0 up; iwconfig}}

NOTE: When I first installed these drivers, they were unable to bring the MAC chip up, and needed a restart.

12. Clean the src directory

{{cd /usr/src; rm compat-wireless-2008-10-31}}

NOTE: You can also delete the compat-wireless-2008-10-31/ folder if you need to recover the space, but it is useful to keep because the Makefile has a 'make uninstall' switch.

13. Last, blacklist any other drivers that may interfere with the new ath5k drivers:

{{echo "blacklist ath_pci" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist; echo "blacklist ath_hal" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist}}

'''Installing the Madwifi drivers:'''

The following instructions were originally found here [http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5711824&postcount=6]:

1. Under System/Administration/HarwareDrivers disable "Support for Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards

2. Reboot

3. The kernel headers and the compiler are needed to build this driver so install build-essential. In a terminal window (Applications/Accessories/Terminal) enter:

{{cmduser|sudo apt-get install build-essential}}

4. Install Subversion

{{cmduser|sudo apt-get install subversion}}

5. Checkout the Madwifi drivers to a directory on your local disk

{{cmduser|cd~}}
{{cmduser|mkdir madwifi}}
{{cmduser|cd madwifi}}
{{cmduser|svn co https://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/branches/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6}}

6. Build the drivers

{{cmduser|cd madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6}}
{{cmduser|make}}

7. Install the drivers

{{cmduser|make install}}

8. Add the Atheros kernel module to the list of modules to be automatically loaded at boot by adding "ath_pci" (without the quotes) to the end of the /etc/modules file and save the file

{{cmduser|sudo gedit /etc/modules}}

9. Now you can reboot and it should work. To get it working without a reboot you need to load the module manually you can use

{{cmduser|sudo modprobe ath_pci}}

====Scrolling with Trackpoint====

Create a new file called /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi typing:

{{cmduser|sudo gedit /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi}}

And fill it with this code:

<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.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>

(Based on code from [http://mvogt.wordpress.com/2008/08/15/xorg-evdev-and-emulatewheel/ Michael Vogt] and adapted to support both vertical and horizontal scrolling.)

==What doesn't work at the moment?==

====[[Integrated Fingerprint Reader]]====

Theres a new chipset build in, the "AuthenTec AES2810". So neither the [http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net thinkfinger] nor the [http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Main_Page fprint] Project support this Device at the moment.

lsusb:
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 08ff:2810 AuthenTec, Inc.

====[[Switchable Graphics]]====

I installed Ubuntu 8.10 with the on-board Intel Graphic chip. So 3D acceleration works out-of-the-box.

Then I booted with the ATI Graphics, which was no problem, because the [[radeon]] driver works very well, but only in 2D.

After installing [[fglrx]] packages, jockey also found out, that proprietary drivers are available. So i let him configure my xorg.conf:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load "glx"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series"
BusID "PCI:01:00.0"
Driver "fglrx"
EndSection

After reboot also Compiz works (but not so smooth as with Intel, i allege)

'''Problem:''' Strating up with integrated graphic again, no 3D desktop works. After removing all [[fglrx]] packages, Compiz normally works.

So i changed my xorg.conf using the [[radeon]] driver, succeeding to have 3D on onboard Graphics and 2D on ATI Graphics.

I also tried [[radeonhd]] driver, which does not work.

'''Note 1:''' I got tired of going in to BIOS to switch chipsets, so I explicitly set the BusID in xorg.conf. The problem with this approach is that power consumption doubles, even when you are not using the discrete graphics card. I had 28W consumption when in switchable graphics mode, and 16W consumption when I configured "Integrated graphics" in BIOS.

'''Note 2:''' fglrx diverts libGL.so.1.2 that is installed by mesa. This means that you can't simply swap xorg.conf files and kernel modules, you need to replace libGL.so.1.2 with the proper one if you want restart X with a certain chipset.

{{Todo|Maybe anybody can get both working!}}

====Suspend/Hibernate====

Neither Suspend nor Hibernate work for me. They fall asleep, but when waking up only the mousepointer is on the screen, put neither keyboard, nor mouse showing response.

But sometimes it works without any problems. I tested it out about 15 times... two suspends and one hibernate worked.

Here's a [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6057496 Ubuntu forum discussion thread] about the problem - sounds like it might be gnome-specific (?). No fix known yet, afaik.

I don't know what's going wrong.
{{Todo| Anybody an idea? }}

====Menu-Key====

I changed keyboard modell to "IBM Thinkpad R60/T60/R61/T61" using the "German Dead acute" Layout.

But also with these settings my menu-key does not work.
I tried to refer it with Firefox using the keyborad shortcuts-tool. It writes: "XF86WakeUp"

'''Problem:''' The FN-Key also writes "XF86WakeUp", which is not so practical, so I removed allocation!

{{Todo| Is ist possible to have an real menu-key?}}

==Not tested yet==

====[[Active Protection System]]====

There is no patch for Kernel 2.6.27-7 at the moment to use [[HDAPS]]. See also [[How to protect the harddisk through APS]].

====VGA/HDMI====
*NEC MultiSync LCD 2190UX - VGA tested and working in mirrored and extended desktop modes (had to run {{cmduser|sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg}} to get 1600x1200 resolution to show up)

--[[User:Tonko|Tonko]] 17:56, 18 Oct 2005 (CEST)

There's not much we can do about this.

We could categorize certain models together (like numbered, T-Series, etc.), but that raises model browsing effort. Further models will come and hence the second page will fill up more or less quickly. I think the problem is that the "next page" link is not drawing a lot of attention. Maybe we could do something about this, probably the stylesheet has to be modified.

Switchable Graphics

2008-11-03T02:58:57Z

Kassanova708:

With newer laptops based on the Intel [[Centrino]] 2 platform (codename [[Montevina]]) switching between a weak, low power consumption integrated GPU and high performance dedicated GPU is possible with laptops with the feature enabled. Some examples are the [[T400]], [[T500]]. Note that this feature is not availible on any X, W or SL series laptop.

In Linux, switching graphics has to be done in the BIOS. Vista currently has drivers that allows on the fly switching.

Kassanova708: /* What needs some Tweaks? */

[[:Category:T400|T400]] '''Site under construction. You are invited building an useful guidance!'''

==Before Installation==

Before you can start Ubuntu from CD or USB you have to change two BIOS settings:
* Change to Internal or ATI Graphics with Config --> Display --> Graphics Device --> [Integrated graphics] or [Discrete Graphics]
* Disable OS Detection for Switchable Graphics. Otherwise it will mysteriously switch back to Switchable Graphics.

Now you can boot your Live-CD, connect to Wireless Lan, and install the OS.

==What works out of the box?==

*Wireless with iwlagn driver ([[Intel WiFi Link 5100/5300 WLAN controller]])
**G mode + WEP and WPA2 PSK (If you have the ThinkPad 11b/g Wireless LAN mini PCI Express Adapter III (Aetheros Chipset), see below!)
**with status LED and everything!
*Bluetooth
**Even with [[Bluetooth Laser Mouse]]
*[[Ethernet Controllers#Intel Gigabit (10/100/1000)|Intel Gigabit Ethernet Controller]]
*Intel driver for Integrated Graphics ([[Intel Integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD]])
** with 3D acceleration out-of-the-box
** VGA output - mirrored and extended desktop both work, but might need to run the following to enable 1600x1200 resolution

*ATI [[fglrx]] driver for Discrete Graphics ([[ATI Mobility Radeon 3470 graphics]])
**To enjoy 3D acceleration, you have to install the proprietary [[fglrx]] Driver. (for example with the jockey-gtk tool)
*Touchpoint and Trackpad
**Including scroll at the right side of the pad by default. (for scrolling with the middle mouse button, see below!)
*Optical drive
**Not tested burning yet
*Sound card
**To use your internal microphone you have to change to "HDA Intel CONEXANT Analog (ALSA)" in audio-settings.
*built-in webcam with Skype
*7-in-1 card reader from Ricoh (MMC, Memory Stick, Mem Stick Pro, SD, SDHC, XD, XD Type H Memory)
**Only tested SD cards.
*Control buttons/Hotkeys
**Volume control buttons
**Screen brightness control (but changing brightness is a little bit diffuse. It's getting brighter but on maximum it changes to nearly lowest and get brighter again.)
**Thinklight control
**WLAN/BT/OFF toggle (Fn+F5 and mechanical toggle)
**Media player control
*Some ACPI features

====Internal LCD Resolution Fix====

When I loaded Intrepid on my T400 the first time, I noticed that it was unable to correctly detected my native screen resolution of 1440x900, and that I could not set it to those. The problem is that a secondary cloned display was set to 1152x864, and was being displayed on the integrated screen. Disabling screen cloning, and disabling of the secondary display fixes the problem. For a complete fix, a restart of X is required (CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE) is required, and when logging in again, you may need to fix your dock icon positions. However, GDM still displays 1152x864, but it isn't a problem after logging in.

There are two options for drivers here, the ath5k project, or older Madwifi drivers. The Madwifi drivers are based on the older, closed source HAL by Atheros, and the ath5k driver are based on the newer open source HAL by Atheros. Note that you should not enable more than one Atheros driver, or they will conflict with each other (this includes ath5k, ath9k, and Madwifi).

8. Add the Atheros kernel module to the list of modules to be automatically loaded at boot by adding "ath_pci" (without the quotes) to the end of the /etc/modules file and save the file

{{cmduser|sudo gedit /etc/modules}}

9. Now you can reboot and it should work. To get it working without a reboot you need to load the module manually you can use

==What doesn't work at the moment?==

====[[Integrated Fingerprint Reader]]====

Theres a new chipset build in, the "AuthenTec AES2810". So neither the [http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net thinkfinger] nor the [http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Main_Page fprint] Project support this Device at the moment.

Bus 002 Device 004: ID 08ff:2810 AuthenTec, Inc.

====[[Switchable Graphics]]====

I installed Ubuntu 8.10 with the on-board Intel Graphic chip. So 3D acceleration works out-of-the-box.

Then I booted with the ATI Graphics, which was no problem, because the [[radeon]] driver works very well, but only in 2D.

After installing [[fglrx]] packages, jockey also found out, that proprietary drivers are available. So i let him configure my xorg.conf:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load "glx"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series"
BusID "PCI:01:00.0"
Driver "fglrx"
EndSection

After reboot also Compiz works (but not so smooth as with Intel, i allege)

'''Problem:''' Strating up with integrated graphic again, no 3D desktop works. After removing all [[fglrx]] packages, Compiz normally works.

So i changed my xorg.conf using the [[radeon]] driver, succeeding to have 3D on onboard Graphics and 2D on ATI Graphics.

I also tried [[radeonhd]] driver, which does not work.

'''Note 1:''' I got tired of going in to BIOS to switch chipsets, so I explicitly set the BusID in xorg.conf. The problem with this approach is that power consumption doubles, even when you are not using the discrete graphics card. I had 28W consumption when in switchable graphics mode, and 16W consumption when I configured "Integrated graphics" in BIOS.

'''Note 2:''' fglrx diverts libGL.so.1.2 that is installed by mesa. This means that you can't simply swap xorg.conf files and kernel modules, you need to replace libGL.so.1.2 with the proper one if you want restart X with a certain chipset.

{{Todo|Maybe anybody can get both working!}}

====Suspend/Hibernate====

Neither Suspend nor Hibernate work for me. They fall asleep, but when waking up only the mousepointer is on the screen, put neither keyboard, nor mouse showing response.

But sometimes it works without any problems. I tested it out about 15 times... two suspends and one hibernate worked.

I don't know what's going wrong.
{{Todo| Anybody an idea?}}

====Menu-Key====

I changed keyboard modell to "IBM Thinkpad R60/T60/R61/T61" using the "German Dead acute" Layout.

But also with these settings my menu-key does not work.
I tried to refer it with Firefox using the keyborad shortcuts-tool. It writes: "XF86WakeUp"

'''Problem:''' The FN-Key also writes "XF86WakeUp", which is not so practical, so I removed allocation!

Install Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) on a ThinkPad T400

2008-11-03T02:44:19Z

Kassanova708: /* What needs some Tweaks? */

[[:Category:T400|T400]] '''Site under construction. You are invited building an useful guidance!'''

==Before Installation==

Before you can start Ubuntu from CD or USB you have to change two BIOS settings:
* Change to Internal or ATI Graphics with Config --> Display --> Graphics Device --> [Integrated graphics] or [Discrete Graphics]
* Disable OS Detection for Switchable Graphics. Otherwise it will mysteriously switch back to Switchable Graphics.

Now you can boot your Live-CD, connect to Wireless Lan, and install the OS.

==What works out of the box?==

*Wireless with iwlagn driver ([[Intel WiFi Link 5100/5300 WLAN controller]])
**G mode + WEP and WPA2 PSK (If you have the ThinkPad 11b/g Wireless LAN mini PCI Express Adapter III (Aetheros Chipset), see below!)
**with status LED and everything!
*Bluetooth
**Even with [[Bluetooth Laser Mouse]]
*[[Ethernet Controllers#Intel Gigabit (10/100/1000)|Intel Gigabit Ethernet Controller]]
*Intel driver for Integrated Graphics ([[Intel Integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD]])
** with 3D acceleration out-of-the-box
** VGA output - mirrored and extended desktop both work, but might need to run the following to enable 1600x1200 resolution
{{cmduser|sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg}}
*ATI [[fglrx]] driver for Discrete Graphics ([[ATI Mobility Radeon 3470 graphics]])
**To enjoy 3D acceleration, you have to install the proprietary [[fglrx]] Driver. (for example with the jockey-gtk tool)
*Touchpoint and Trackpad
**Including scroll at the right side of the pad by default. (for scrolling with the middle mouse button, see below!)
*Optical drive
**Not tested burning yet
*Sound card
**To use your internal microphone you have to change to "HDA Intel CONEXANT Analog (ALSA)" in audio-settings.
*built-in webcam with Skype
*7-in-1 card reader from Ricoh (MMC, Memory Stick, Mem Stick Pro, SD, SDHC, XD, XD Type H Memory)
**Only tested SD cards.
*Control buttons/Hotkeys
**Volume control buttons
**Screen brightness control (but changing brightness is a little bit diffuse. It's getting brighter but on maximum it changes to nearly lowest and get brighter again.)
**Thinklight control
**WLAN/BT/OFF toggle (Fn+F5 and mechanical toggle)
**Media player control
*Some ACPI features
**Battery status, power graphs and history (tested with an single 6-Cell battery)
**Lid states and events

==What needs some Tweaks?==

====[[ThinkVantage Button]] {{ibmkey|ThinkVantage|#495988}}====

Edit the file /usr/share/hotkey-setup/ibm.hk with adding this line:

setkeycodes e017 148 #thinkpad button

You have to restart, then you refer a program with the "System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts"-Menu (eg. Terminal, Firefox,...).

====Screen Resolution Issues====

When I loaded Intrepid on my T400 the first time, I noticed that it was unable to correctly detected my native screen resolution of 1440x900, and that I could not set it to those. The problem is that a secondary cloned display was set to 1152x864, and was being displayed on the integrated screen. Disabling screen cloning, and disabling of the secondary display fixes the problem. For a complete fix, a restart of X is required (CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE) is required, and when logging in again, you may need to fix your dock icon positions. However, GDM still displays 1152x864, but it isn't a problem after logging in.

====ThinkPad 11b/g Wireless LAN mini PCI Express Adapter III (Atheros AR5007EG/AR2425 Chipset)====

There are two options for drivers here, the ath5k project, or older Madwifi drivers. The Madwifi drivers are based on the older, closed source HAL by Atheros, and the ath5k driver are based on the newer open source HAL by Atheros. Note that you should not enable more than one Atheros driver, or they will conflict with each other (this includes ath5k, ath9k, and Madwifi). If you need both BG & N support, do not use ath5k & ath9k, use Madwifi instead (only applicable if you are running multiple wireless cards).

'''Installing the ath5k drivers from the compat-wireless package'''

Original discussion thread: [http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6071960&postcount=2]

1. Become the super user of the system:

{{cmduser|sudo su}}

*NOTE: Becareful here, as you have complete access to the system, and can do damage if careless. Optionally, you can work as a normal user, and preface each command with sudo.

Disable any currently running Madwifi drivers by running this in the terminal:

{{cmdroot|rmmod ath_pci; rmmod ath_hal}}

3. These drivers require source compilitation, so the build-essential package is required:

{{cmdroot|apt-get install build-essential}}

4. Enter the /usr/src directory, and download the source package:

{{cmdroot|cd /usr/src; wget http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2008-10-31.tar.bz2}}

5. Extract the source and enter the directory:

{{cmdroot|tar xjvf compat-wireless-2008-10-31.tar.bz2; cd compat-wireless-2008-10-31}}

6. Take a quick look at the README:

{{cmdroot|less README}}

7. Begin the compiliation process

{{cmdroot|make}}

8. Next, disable any active wireless connections, and run a script to make sure all wireless drivers that are going to be replaced are unloaded:

{{cmdroot|make unload}}

9. Install the drivers:

{{cmdroot|make install}}

10. If everything completed without errors, load the ath5k module:

{{cmdroot|modprobe ath5k}}

11. Check to make sure the new drivers detected the wireless card (you may need to adjust the interface name if you have several wireless cards):

{{cmdroot|ifconfig wlan0 up; iwconfig}}

NOTE: When I first installed these drivers, they were unable to bring the MAC chip up, and needed a restart.

12. Clean the src directory

{{cd /usr/src; rm compat-wireless-2008-10-31}}

NOTE: You can also delete the compat-wireless-2008-10-31/ folder if you need to recover the space, but it is useful to keep because the Makefile has a 'make uninstall' switch.

13. Last, blacklist any other drivers that may interfere with the new ath5k drivers:

{{echo "blacklist ath_pci" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist; echo "blacklist ath_hal" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist}}

'''Installing the Madwifi drivers:'''

The following instructions were originally found here [http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5711824&postcount=6]:

1. Under System/Administration/HarwareDrivers disable "Support for Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards

2. Reboot

3. The kernel headers and the compiler are needed to build this driver so install build-essential. In a terminal window (Applications/Accessories/Terminal) enter:

{{cmduser|sudo apt-get install build-essential}}

4. Install Subversion

{{cmduser|sudo apt-get install subversion}}

5. Checkout the Madwifi drivers to a directory on your local disk

{{cmduser|cd~}}
{{cmduser|mkdir madwifi}}
{{cmduser|cd madwifi}}
{{cmduser|svn co https://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/branches/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6}}

6. Build the drivers

{{cmduser|cd madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6}}
{{cmduser|make}}

7. Install the drivers

{{cmduser|make install}}

8. Add the Atheros kernel module to the list of modules to be automatically loaded at boot by adding "ath_pci" (without the quotes) to the end of the /etc/modules file and save the file

{{cmduser|sudo gedit /etc/modules}}

9. Now you can reboot and it should work. To get it working without a reboot you need to load the module manually you can use

{{cmduser|sudo modprobe ath_pci}}

====VGA Output====

To enable 1600x1200 resolution to show up, run

The problem with this approach is that power consumption doubles, even when you are not using the discrete graphics card. I had 28W consumption when in switchable graphics mode, and 16W consumption when I configured "Integrated graphics" in BIOS.

'''Note 2:''' fglrx diverts libGL.so.1.2 that is installed by mesa. This means that you can't simply swap xorg.conf files and kernel modules, you need to replace libGL.so.1.2 with the proper one if you want restart X with a certain chipset.

====Suspend/Hibernate====

Neither Suspend nor Hibernate work for me. They fall asleep, but when waking up only the mousepointer is on the screen, put neither keyboard, nor mouse showing response.

But sometimes it works without any problems. I tested it out about 15 times... two suspends and one hibernate worked.

I don't know what's going wrong.

====Menu-Key====

I changed keyboard modell to "IBM Thinkpad R60/T60/R61/T61" using the "German Dead acute" Layout.

But also with these settings my menu-key does not work.
I tried to refer it with Firefox using the keyborad shortcuts-tool. It writes: "XF86WakeUp"

'''Problem:''' The FN-Key also writes "XF86WakeUp", which is not so practical, so I removed allocation!

====[[Active Protection System]]====

There is no patch for Kernel 2.6.27-7 at the moment to use [[HDAPS]]. See also [[How to protect the harddisk through APS]].

====VGA/HDMI====
*NEC MultiSync LCD 2190UX - VGA tested and working in mirrored and extended desktop modes (had to run {{cmduser|sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg}} to get 1600x1200 resolution to show up)
{{todo|please test other external monitors!}}
