Installing OpenSUSE 11.4 on a ThinkPad X220 Tablet

2011-08-04T07:16:26Z

Markov: /* Fixing the touchscreen */

== Model ==
Lenovo Thinkpad {{X220 Tablet}} 4299-2PG (NYN2PMH) with
* 160GB Intel SSD
* [[Intel Core i5|Core i5-2520M]] processor (2.5GHz, 3MB L3 Cache)
* [[Ericsson HSPA + (F5521gw)]] WWAN (GPRS and GPS)
* 4GB of RAM (4 more can be installed)

=== The Windows bit ===
Windows 7 Professional comes pre-installed. It works swift on this machine

== Installation ==
There is no internal optical disk, so I used an external drive (Samsung, feeds from two USB ports). Worked flawlessly without the need to change BIOS settings.

Screen, network etc all detected correctly out of the box, '''except touchscreen'''. The package installation (GNOME and KDE together) only took about 15 minutes (!) WWAN not tested yet, but that did work well on my X301.

=== Disk partitioning ===
The system was shipped with an 160GB SSD disk (SSDSA2M160), with three partitions
* 1 GB NTFS "System_DRV"
* 132 GB NTFS "Windows7_OS", drive C: with 30GB used
* 16 GB NTFS "Lenovo_Recovery"

No D: partition to sacrifice. The default partitioning change offered by SuSE installation seems ok, but I like to take it in my own hands. So, I
* resized partition Windows7 back to 50GB, mounted on "/windows/c"
* add extended partition for the rest
* add 20GB partition for SuSE "/" with ext4 and noatime
* add 20GB partition, later to be used for Debian/Qimo with ext4 and noatime
* add 2GB partition for swap (hopefully not used)
* add remaining 40GB for partition "/home" with ext4 and noatime

=== Configuration ===
Add "tabletpc" to the software selection. I also use both KDE and GNOME window managers via the software selection menu.

=== Fixing the touchscreen ===
Once OpenSuSE 12.1, the touchscreen will work out-of-the-box (very probably), but with 11.4 your kernel and X is just a little too old.

==== upgrade the X11 driver ====
You need a recent xf86-input-wacom driver to connect to the wacom interface as well. Run the script which is included in [http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Wacom_tablet_installer] Check that the wacom_drv.so module got installed in /usr/lib64, not /usr/lib
ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wacom_drv.so /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/input/wacom_drv.so

Correct me if I am wrong: you need to change the following in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-wacom.conf

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Wacom class"
- MatchProduct "Wacom|WACOM"
+ MatchProduct "Wacom|WALTOP|WACOM|ISDv4"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "wacom"
EndSection

==== upgrade the kernel ====
he script in the previous paragraph did not make the touch-screen devices appear, probably because it is a new kind of device: wacoms via usb. I decided to upgrade the whole kernel, which seems to work well.

First, uncomment (=remove the '#') in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf before
# multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel)

Add repository
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard

Finally, run "zypper update" and reboot the system. I got a kernel 3.0.0 installed which does recognize the touchscreen out of the box.
After a reboot, you will see the wacom interfaces with
xinput --list

== Install more ==
Additionally, you want to install more. Configure "automatic update" via YaST and then deselect the external DVD unit from the repository list. You may like my choices from below.

=== Skype ===
The default installation is 64bits. Skype does not offer a 64bit version for OpenSuSE (yet), so you have to install some additional libraries for it to work:

# required for Skype 2.2beta
zypper in xorg-x11-libXv-32bit libqt4-32bit libqt4-x11-32bit libpng12-0-32bit

Webcam, sound and microphone worked without further configuration.

=== Multimedia ===
Go to [http://opensuse-community.org/Restricted_formats/11.4|OpenSuSE Community Restricted Formats] for a one-click install of proprietary drivers. I selected both the KDE and GNOME extensions.

== Modifications ==

=== Display Brightness ===
I really hate the automatic dimming the screen. With the excellent battery-life and working brightness-control buttons, there is no need for the frequent dimming.

Under GNOME, click on the battery image on the lower bar, select "Preferences". In "On Battery Power", untick the "Reduce backlight brightness" and "Dim display when idle".

Installing openSuSE 11.1 on an X301

2009-08-27T09:03:24Z

Markov: /* Installation */

= Installation =

Most of the features seem to work immediately. I have seen this work out of the box:
* disk
* memory
* webcam
* microphone
* ethernet
* DVD reading

but I also encountered some issues which require manual fixing. Only those are described on this page.

In August 2009, I upgraded to SuSE Factory. I do not know how much of the changes below are still a problem when you start with Factory. In any case, Factory has a much newer kernel which results in 10 second boots and a very smooth experience.

= Installation problems =

== Wireless ==
The driver is too old: broadcasts of close-by stations are not found, and connections get teminated all the time. Upgrade it as explained in [[Intel WiFi Link 5100/5300 WLAN controller]]

== Video ==
After installing, the video mode is autodetected a little too low. Go to the KDE-personal settings menu to get it up to 1440x900. If that choice is not available, then first run SaX2 and try again.

After resurrection from suspend mode, the resolution flips to something like 1400x1040, which is obviously wrong. You can not reach to the panel to log-out. Gladly, the background menu has a log-out option as well. I do not know how to resolve this yet. The shutdown and boot are so fast (because of the SSD) that I do not require suspend...

=== Compiz ===
Whether it has to do with the problems of the graphics driver or not, I don't know, but also Compiz does not survive a suspend, leaving you without a window manager. The (default) KWin manager does survive suspend mode.

= Performance =
Without any configuration, a new battery holds about 4.5 hours.

= Applications =

Installing openSuSE 11.1 on an X301

Most of the features seem to work immediately. I have seen this work out of the box:
* disk

* DVD reading

but I also encountered some issues which require manual fixing. Only those are described on this page.

== Wireless ==
The driver is too old: broadcasts of close-by stations are not found, and connections get teminated all the time. Upgrade it as explained in [[Intel WiFi Link 5100/5300 WLAN controller]]

== Video ==
After installing, the video mode is autodetected a little too low. Go to the KDE-personal settings menu to get it up to 1440x900. If that choice is not available, then first run SaX2 and try again.

After resurrection from suspend mode, the resolution flips to something like 1400x1040, which is obviously wrong. You can not reach to the panel to log-out. Gladly, the background menu has a log-out option as well. I do not know how to resolve this yet. The shutdown and boot are so fast (because of the SSD) that I do not require suspend...

=== Compiz ===
Whether it has to do with the problems of the graphics driver or not, I don't know, but also Compiz does not survive a suspend, leaving you without a window manager. The (default) KWin manager does survive suspend mode.

= Performance =
Without any configuration, a new battery holds about 4.5 hours.

Installing SUSE 10 on a ThinkPad TransNote

2006-01-28T23:27:38Z

Markov:

This page tells about installation of {{SUSE}} on a ThinkPad {{TransNote}}.
{{Todo|Introduction, general installation notes}}

==TPB==
The <tt>nvram</tt> module doesn't get loaded by default. Hence you have to add it into the boot process yourself. In {{path|/etc/sysconfig/kernel}} adjust the following line:
MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT="nvram"

==Power Management==
SUSE 10, like any other SUSE version, uses powersaved for power management. powersaved attaches itself to [[acpid]] via a file socket, [[acpid]] is only running to forward all events to powersaved.

While the basic PM functionalities work out of the box, it gets a bit tricky when you want to enable [[ibm-acpi]] and [[tpb]].

SUSE 10 comes with a modified kernel 2.6.13, and has the individual ACPI support options compiled as modules. Trying different modules loading orders or including part of the modules into the kernel, didn't help making ibm-acpi work reliably. Hence the conclusion was to try and built a vanilla kernel.

While doing so, kernel 2.6.14 was used and the ACPI option modules were built into the kernel.
Unpack the kernel source into {{path|/usr/src/}}, relink {{path|/usr/src/linux}} to point to {{path|/usr/src/linux-2.6.14}}. Copy the {{path|.config}} file from the old kernels source dir. Change into the new kernels source dir and configure the kernel to include processor, ac, battery, fan, thermal and button support rather than having it compiled as modules. Compile the kernel and copy the appropriate kernel image to the {{path|/boot}} directory. You need to copy {{path|System.map}} as well. Then edit {{path|/etc/sysconfig/kernel}} and adjust the line:
INITRD_MODULES="piix reiserfs"
After that, recreate the initrd using <tt>mkinitrd</tt>.
There is no need to update your menu.lst file, since the symlinks get adjusted by <tt>mkinitrd</tt>.
{{Todo|This info needs to be more detailed.}}

*Also make sure that ibm_acpi is never unloaded, since it would cause trouble. In {{path|/etc/sysconfig/powersave/common}} adjust the following line:
ACPI_MODULES_NOT_TO_UNLOAD="ibm_acpi"

*Powersaved complains about missing cpufreq support on boot. It might be good to switch to userspace frequency scaling. In {{path|/etc/sysconfig/powersave/cpufreq}} adjust the following line:
CPUFREQ_CONTROL="userspace"
