= Before the installation =
I switched to "discrete graphics" (Intel 4500MHD) in the BIOS. I didn't want to use with the ATI card because of the driver issues. After the installation, I reverted to "switchable graphics" and it works well.

= Installation =
I used an (amd64) USB image (hd-media) and the Lenny RC1 netinstall ISO. The install sequence went flawlessly. The Gigabit Ethernet adapter was detected and configured. I installed without X, switched to sid in sources.list and then went for X and Gnome.

After installation I compiled a vanilla 2.6.28 that I'm currently running.

= Working =
More or less out of the box with the 2.6.28 kernel:
* Gigabit Ethernet (e1000 module)
* 5300AGN wireless (iwlagn) with CRDA userspace regulation
* Intel graphics, X driver from sid repository
* suspend to ram (echo mem > /sys/power/state OR Fn+F4)
* sound (HDA) + volume control buttons
* Bluetooth
* webcam (UVC driver, tested with guvcview)
* card reader
* watchdog timer (iTCO_wdt kernel module and the watchdog daemon)

== HDAPS ==
The source package in the sid repository for tp_smapi is a bit outdated, so I compiled and installed using the [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1212&package_id=171579 tarball] for SourceForge.

In order to get the OpenGL visualization utility (hdaps-gl) and the head parking daemon (hdapsd) working properly:
* create /etc/modprobe.d/hdaps , containing:
options thinkpad_ec force_io=1
options hdaps invert=1
* add the following line to ''/etc/modules'':
hdaps
* install '''hdapsd''', which creates the required udev rule (''/etc/udev/rules.d/z60_hdapsd.rules''). I used the 1:0.0.20081004-1 version of the package, as it was required by the new sysfs interface in 2.6.28.
* '''However''', if you don't want hdapsd (i.e. just want accelerometer data with no head parking), you can create a rule containing:
KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", ATTRS{phys}=="hdaps/input1",ATTRS{modalias}=="input:b0019v1014p5054e4801-*",SYMLINK+="input/hdaps/accelerometer-event
* install '''hdaps-utils'''

= Not working =
* mute button
* fingerprint reader, seems there's no driver yet

= Not tested =
* DisplayPort
* modem

* install '''hdaps-utils'''

=== Hard drive issues ===
Running ''hdparm -i /dev/sda'' prints the exact model and firmware version of the disk (Seagate Momentus 5400.4 SATA 250GB):
Model=ST9250827AS , FwRev=3.CMF

I modified (in the kernel header ata.h) the ata_id_has_unload() to print the hex value of the ATA_ID_CFSSE word (Command Feature/Set Supported Extension). The result was:
[ 3.910056] ata: CFSSE 4000

According to the ATA-7 spec, the 13th bit should be 1 if the drive supports "IDLE IMMEDIATE with UNLOAD FEATURE", and here it is not the case. Therefore, it is quite clear that the drive is reporting it has no support for the feature.

However, doing a manual write to the sysfs file (like ''echo 10000 > /sys/block/sda/device/unload_heads'') does NOT cause an error and causes the drive to park the heads (the specific sound is clearly audible).

All in all, hdapsd has the expected behavior, regardless of the hard drive bug.

= Not working =
* mute button
* fingerprint reader, seems there's no driver yet

= Not tested =

= Before the installation =
I switched to "discrete graphics" (Intel 4500MHD) in the BIOS. I didn't want to use with the ATI card because of the driver issues. After the installation, I reverted to "switchable graphics" and it works well.

= Installation =
I used an (amd64) USB image (hd-media) and the Lenny RC1 netinstall ISO. The install sequence went flawlessly. The Gigabit Ethernet adapter was detected and configured. I installed without X, switched to sid in sources.list and then went for X and Gnome.

After installation I compiled a vanilla 2.6.28 that I'm currently running.

= Working =
More or less out of the box with the 2.6.28 kernel:
* Gigabit Ethernet (e1000 module)
* 5300AGN wireless (iwlagn) with CRDA userspace regulation
* Intel graphics, X driver from sid repository
* suspend to ram (echo mem > /sys/power/state OR Fn+F4)
* sound (HDA) + volume control buttons
* Bluetooth
* webcam (UVC driver, tested with guvcview)
* card reader
* watchdog timer (iTCO_wdt kernel module and the watchdog daemon)

== HDAPS ==
The source package in the sid repository for tp_smapi is a bit outdated, so I compiled and installed using the [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1212&package_id=171579 tarball] for SourceForge.

In order to get the OpenGL visualization utility (hdaps-gl) and the head parking daemon (hdapsd) working properly:
* create /etc/modprobe.d/hdaps , containing:
options thinkpad_ec force_io=1
options hdaps invert=1
* add the following line to ''/etc/modules'':
hdaps
* install '''hdapsd''', which creates the required udev rule (''/etc/udev/rules.d/z60_hdapsd.rules''). I used the 1:0.0.20081004-1 version of the package, as it was required by the new sysfs interface in 2.6.28.
* '''However''', if you don't want hdapsd (i.e. just want accelerometer data with no head parking), you can create a rule containing:
KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", ATTRS{phys}=="hdaps/input1",ATTRS{modalias}=="input:b0019v1014p5054e4801-*",SYMLINK+="input/hdaps/accelerometer-event
* install '''hdaps-utils'''

=== Hard drive issues ===
Running ''hdparm -i /dev/sda'' prints the exact model and firmware version of the disk (Seagate Momentus 5400.4 SATA 250GB):
Model=ST9250827AS , FwRev=3.CMF

I modified (in the kernel header ata.h) the ata_id_has_unload() to print the hex value of the ATA_ID_CFSSE word (Command Feature/Set Supported Extension). The result was:
[ 3.910056] ata: CFSSE 4000

According to the ATA-7 spec, the 13th bit should be 1 if the drive supports "IDLE IMMEDIATE with UNLOAD FEATURE", and here it is not the case. Therefore, it is quite clear that the drive reports it has no support for the feature.

However, doing a manual write to the sysfs file (like ''echo 10000 > /sys/block/sda/device/unload_heads'') does NOT cause an error and causes the drive to park the heads (the specific sound is clearly audible).

All in all, hdapsd has the expected behavior, regardless of the hard drive bug.
'''Bold text'''

= Not working =

* fingerprint reader, seems there's no driver yet

* Gigabit Ethernet (e1000 module)
* 5300AGN wireless (iwlagn) with CRDA userspace regulation
* Intel graphics, X driver from sid repository
* suspend to ram (echo mem > /sys/power/state OR Fn+F4)
* sound (HDA) + volume control buttons
* Bluetooth
* webcam (UVC driver, tested with guvcview)
* card reader
* watchdog timer (iTCO_wdt kernel module and the watchdog daemon)

= HDAPS =
The source package in the sid repository for tp_smapi is a bit outdated, so I compiled and installed using the [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1212&package_id=171579 tarball] for SourceForge.

In order to get the OpenGL visualization utility (hdaps-gl) and the head parking daemon (hdapsd) working properly:
* create /etc/modprobe.d/hdaps , containing:
options thinkpad_ec force_io=1
options hdaps invert=1
* add the following line to ''/etc/modules'':
hdaps
* install '''hdapsd''', which creates the required udev rule (''/etc/udev/rules.d/z60_hdapsd.rules''). I used the 1:0.0.20081004-1 version of the package, as it was required by the new sysfs interface in 2.6.28.
* '''However''', if you don't want hdapsd (i.e. just want accelerometer data with no head parking), you can create a rule containing:
KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", ATTRS{phys}=="hdaps/input1",ATTRS{modalias}=="input:b0019v1014p5054e4801-*",SYMLINK+="input/hdaps/accelerometer-event
* install '''hdaps-utils'''

== Hard drive issues ==
Running ''hdparm -i /dev/sda'' gave me the exact model and firmware version of the disk (Seagate Momentus 5400.4 SATA 250GB):
Model=ST9250827AS , FwRev=3.CMF

I modified (in the kernel header ata.h) the ata_id_has_unload() to print the hex value of the ATA_ID_CFSSE word (Command Feature/Set Supported Extension). The result was:
[ 3.910056] ata: CFSSE 4000

According to the ATA-7 spec, the 13th bit should be 1 if the drive supports "IDLE IMMEDIATE with UNLOAD FEATURE", and here it is not the case. Therefore, it is quite clear that the drive reports it has no support for the feature.

However, doing a manual write to the sysfs file (like ''echo 10000 > /sys/block/sda/device/unload_heads'') does NOT cause an error and causes the drive to park the heads (the specific sound is clearly audible).

All in all, hdapsd has the expected behavior, regardless of the hard drive bug.

= Not working =

* fingerprint reader, seems there's no driver yet

= Not tested =

= Before installation =
I switched to "discrete graphics" (Intel 4500MHD) in the BIOS. I didn't want to use with the ATI card because of the driver issues. After installation, I reverted to "switchable graphics" and it works well.

I used an (amd64) USB image (hd-media) and the Lenny RC1 netinstall ISO. The install sequence went flawlessly. The Gigabit Ethernet adapter was detected and configured. I installed without X, switched to sid in sources.list and then went for X and Gnome.

I used an (amd64) USB image (hd-media) and the Lenny RC1 netinstall ISO. The install sequence went flawlessly. The Gigabit Ethernet adapter was detected and configured. I installed without X, switched to sid in sources.list and then went for X and Gnome.

After installation I compiled a vanilla 2.6.28 that I'm currently running.

= Working =
More or less out of the box with the 2.6.28 kernel:
* Gigabit Ethernet (e1000 module)
* 5300AGN wireless (iwlagn) with CRDA userspace regulation
* Intel graphics, X driver from sid repository
* suspend to ram (echo mem > /sys/power/state OR Fn+F4)
* sound (HDA) + volume control buttons
* Bluetooth
* webcam (UVC driver, tested with guvcview)
* card reader
* watchdog timer (iTCO_wdt kernel module and the watchdog daemon)

= HDAPS =
The source package in the sid repository for tp_smapi is a bit outdated, so I compiled and installed using the [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1212&package_id=171579 tarball] for SourceForge.

In order to get the OpenGL visualization utility (hdaps-gl) and the head parking daemon (hdapsd) working properly:
* create /etc/modprobe.d/hdaps , containing:
options thinkpad_ec force_io=1
options hdaps invert=1
* add the following line to ''/etc/modules'':
hdaps
* install '''hdapsd''', which creates the required udev rule (''/etc/udev/rules.d/z60_hdapsd.rules''). I used the 1:0.0.20081004-1 version of the package, as it was required by the new sysfs interface in 2.6.28.
* '''However''', if you don't want hdapsd (i.e. just want accelerometer data with no head parking), you can create a rule containing:
KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", ATTRS{phys}=="hdaps/input1",ATTRS{modalias}=="input:b0019v1014p5054e4801-*",SYMLINK+="input/hdaps/accelerometer-event
* install '''hdaps-utils'''

== Hard drive issues ==
Running ''hdparm -i /dev/sda'' gave me the exact model and firmware version of the disk (Seagate Momentus 5400.4 SATA 250GB):
Model=ST9250827AS , FwRev=3.CMF

I modified (in the kernel header ata.h) the ata_id_has_unload() to print the hex value of the ATA_ID_CFSSE word (Command Feature/Set Supported Extension). The result was:
[ 3.910056] ata: CFSSE 4000

According to the ATA-7 spec, the 13th bit should be 1 if the drive supports "IDLE IMMEDIATE with UNLOAD FEATURE", and it here it is not the case. Therefore it is quite clear that the drive reports it has no support the feature.

However, doing a manual write to the sysfs file (like ''echo 10000 > /sys/block/sda/device/unload_heads'') does NOT cause an error and causes the drive to park the heads (the specific sound is clearly audible).

So, in the end, hdapsd has the expected behavior, regardless of the hard drive bug.

= Not working =
* mute button
* fingerprint reader, seems there's no driver yet

= Not tested =
* DisplayPort
* modem

Drive conforms to: unknown: ATA/ATAPI-4,5,6,7

= Before installation =
I switched to "discrete graphics" (Intel 4500MHD) in the BIOS. I didn't want to use with the ATI card because of the driver issues. After installation, I reverted to "switchable graphics" and it works well.

= Installation =
I used an (amd64) USB image (hd-media) and the Lenny RC1 netinstall ISO. The install sequence went flawlessly. The Gigabit Ethernet adapter was detected and configured. I installed without X, switched to sid in sources.list and then went for X and Gnome.

After installation I compiled a vanilla 2.6.28 that I'm currently running.

= Working =
Pretty much out of the box with the 2.6.28 kernel:
* Gigabit Ethernet (e1000 module)
* 5300AGN wireless (iwlagn) with CRDA userspace regulation
* Intel graphics, X driver from sid repository
* suspend to ram (echo mem > /sys/power/state OR Fn+F4)
* sound (HDA) + volume control buttons
* Bluetooth
* webcam (UVC driver, tested with guvcview)
* card reader
* watchdog timer (iTCO_wdt kernel module and the watchdog daemon)

= HDAPS =
The source package in the sid repository for tp_smapi is a bit outdated, so I compiled and installed using the [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1212&package_id=171579 tarball] for SourceForge.

In order to get the OpenGL visualization utility (hdaps-gl) and the head parking daemon (hdapsd) working properly:
* create /etc/modprobe.d/hdaps , containing:
options thinkpad_ec force_io=1
options hdaps invert=1
* add the following line to ''/etc/modules'':
hdaps
* install '''hdapsd''', which creates the required udev rule (''/etc/udev/rules.d/z60_hdapsd.rules''). I used the 1:0.0.20081004-1 version of the package, as it was required by the new sysfs interface in 2.6.28.
* '''However''', if you don't want hdapsd (i.e. just want accelerometer data with no head parking), you can create a rule containing:
KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", ATTRS{phys}=="hdaps/input1",ATTRS{modalias}=="input:b0019v1014p5054e4801-*",SYMLINK+="input/hdaps/accelerometer-event
* install '''hdaps-utils'''

== Hard drive issues ==
Running ''hdparm -i /dev/sda'' gave me the exact model and firmware version of the disk (Seagate Momentus 5400.4 SATA 250GB):
Model=ST9250827AS , FwRev=3.CMF

I modified (in the kernel header ata.h) the ata_id_has_unload() to print the hex value of the ATA_ID_CFSSE word (Command Feature/Set Supported Extension). Here's what i get:
[ 3.910056] ata: CFSSE 4000

According to the ATA-7 spec, the 13th bit should be 1 if the drive supports "IDLE IMMEDIATE with UNLOAD FEATURE", and it is not the case here. At this point it is quite clear that the drive reports it doesn't support the feature.

However, doing a manual write to the sysfs file (like ''echo 10000 > /sys/block/sda/device/unload_heads'') does NOT cause an error and causes the drive to park the heads (the specific sound is clearly audible).

So, in the end, hdapsd has the expected behavior, regardless of the hard drive bug.

= Not working =
* mute button
* fingerprint reader, seems there's no driver yet

= Not tested =
* DisplayPort
* modem

= Before installation =
* switched to "discrete graphics" (Intel 4500MHD) in the BIOS. I didn't want to use with the ATI card because of the driver issues. After installation, I reverted to "switchable graphics" and it works well.

= Installation =
Used an (amd64) USB image (hd-media) and the Lenny RC1 netinstall ISO. Installation worked flawlessly, the Gigabit Ethernet adapter was detected and configured. Installed without X, switched to sid in sources.list and then went for X and Gnome.

After installation I compiled a vanilla 2.6.28 that I'm currently running.

= Working =
Pretty much out of the box with the 2.6.28 kernel:
* Gigabit Ethernet (e1000 module)
* 5300AGN wireless (iwlagn) with CRDA userspace regulation
* Intel graphics, X driver from sid repository
* suspend to ram (echo mem > /sys/power/state OR Fn+F4)
* sound (HDA) + volume control buttons
* Bluetooth
* webcam (UVC driver, tested with guvcview)
* card reader
* watchdog timer (iTCO_wdt kernel module and the watchdog daemon)

= HDAPS =
The source package in the sid repository for tp_smapi is a bit outdated, so I compiled and installed using the [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1212&package_id=171579 tarball] for SourceForge.

In order to get the OpenGL visualization utility (hdaps-gl) and the head parking daemon (hdapsd) working properly:
* created /etc/modprobe.d/hdaps , containing:
options thinkpad_ec force_io=1
options hdaps invert=1
* added to /etc/modules the following line:
hdaps
* installed '''hdapsd''', which creates the required udev rule (''/etc/udev/rules.d/z60_hdapsd.rules''). I used the 1:0.0.20081004-1 version of the package, as it was required by the new sysfs interface in 2.6.28.
* '''However''', if you don't want hdapsd (i.e. just want accelerometer data with no head parking), you can create a rule containing:
KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", ATTRS{phys}=="hdaps/input1",ATTRS{modalias}=="input:b0019v1014p5054e4801-*",SYMLINK+="input/hdaps/accelerometer-event
* installed '''hdaps-utils'''

== Hard drive issues ==
Running ''hdparm -i /dev/sda'' i get the exact model and firmware version of the disk (Seagate Momentus 5400.4 SATA 250GB):
Model=ST9250827AS , FwRev=3.CMF

I modified (in the kernel header ata.h) the ata_id_has_unload() to print the hex value of the ATA_ID_CFSSE word (Command Feature/Set Supported Extension). Here's what i get:
[ 3.910056] ata: CFSSE 4000

According to the ATA-7 spec, the 13th bit should be 1 if the drive supports "IDLE IMMEDIATE with UNLOAD FEATURE", and it is not the case here. At this point it is quite clear that the drive reports it doesn't support the feature.

However, doing a manual write to the sysfs file (like ''echo 10000 > /sys/block/sda/device/unload_heads'') does NOT cause an error and causes the drive to park the heads (the specific sound is clearly audible).

So, in the end, hdapsd has the expected behavior, regardless of the hard drive bug.

= Not working =
* mute button
* fingerprint reader, seems there's no driver yet

= Not tested =
* DisplayPort
* modem

Drive conforms to: unknown: ATA/ATAPI-4,5,6,7

= Before installation =
* switched to discrete graphics (Intel 4500MHD) in the BIOS. I did't want to mess with the ATI card because of the driver issues.

= Installation =
Used an (amd64) USB image (hd-media) and the Lenny RC1 netinstall ISO. Installation worked flawlessly, the Gigabit Ethernet adapter was detected and configured. Installed without X, switched to sid in sources.list and then went for X and Gnome.

After installation I compiled a vanilla 2.6.28 that I'm currently running.

= Working =
Pretty much out of the box with the 2.6.28 kernel:
* Gigabit Ethernet (e1000 module)
* 5300AGN wireless (iwlagn) with CRDA userspace regulation
* Intel graphics, X driver from sid repository
* suspend to ram (echo mem > /sys/power/state OR Fn+F4)
* sound (HDA) + volume control buttons
* Bluetooth
* webcam (UVC driver, tested with guvcview)
* card reader

= HDAPS =
The source package in the sid repository for tp_smapi is a bit outdated, so I compiled and installed using the [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1212&package_id=171579 tarball] for SourceForge.

In order to get the OpenGL visualization utility (hdaps-gl) and the head parking daemon (hdapsd) working properly:
* created /etc/modprobe.d/hdaps , containing:
options thinkpad_ec force_io=1
options hdaps invert=1
* added to /etc/modules the following line:
hdaps
* installed '''hdapsd''', which creates the required udev rule (''/etc/udev/rules.d/z60_hdapsd.rules''). I used the 1:0.0.20081004-1 version of the package, as it was required by the new sysfs interface in 2.6.28.
* '''However''', if you don't want hdapsd (i.e. just want accelerometer data with no head parking), you can create a rule containing:
KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", ATTRS{phys}=="hdaps/input1",ATTRS{modalias}=="input:b0019v1014p5054e4801-*",SYMLINK+="input/hdaps/accelerometer-event
* installed '''hdaps-utils'''

== Hard drive issues ==
Running ''hdparm -i /dev/sda'' i get the exact model and firmware version of the disk (Seagate Momentus 5400.4 SATA 250GB):
Model=ST9250827AS , FwRev=3.CMF

I modified (in the kernel header ata.h) the ata_id_has_unload() to print the hex value of the ATA_ID_CFSSE word (Command Feature/Set Supported Extension). Here's what i get:
[ 3.910056] ata: CFSSE 4000

According to the ATA 7 spec, the 13th bit should be 1 if the drive supports "IDLE IMMEDIATE with UNLOAD FEATURE", and it is not the case here. At this point it is quite clear that the drive reports it doesn't support the feature.

But, doing a manual write to the sysfs file (like ''echo 10000 > /sys/block/sda/device/unload_heads'') does NOT cause an error and does cause the drive to park the heads (the specific sound is clearly audible).

= Not working =
* mute button
* fingerprint reader, seems there's no driver yet

= Not tested =
* DisplayPort
* modem

= Before installation =
* switched to discrete graphics (Intel 4500MHD) in the BIOS. I did't want to mess with the ATI card because of the driver issues.

= Installation =
Used an (amd64) USB image (hd-media) and the Lenny RC1 netinstall ISO. Installation worked flawlessly, the Gigabit Ethernet adapter was detected and configured. Installed without X, switched to sid in sources.list and then went for X and Gnome.

I installation I compiled a vanilla 2.6.28 that I'm currently running.

= Working =
Pretty much out of the box with the 2.6.28 kernel:
* Gigabit Ethernet (e1000 module)
* 5300AGN wireless (iwlagn) with CRDA userspace regulation
* Intel graphics, X driver from sid repository
* suspend to ram (echo mem > /sys/power/state OR Fn+F4)
* sound (HDA) + volume control buttons
* Bluetooth
* webcam (UVC driver, tested with guvcview)
* card reader

= HDAPS =
The source package in the sid repository for tp_smapi is a bit outdated, so I compiled and installed using the [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1212&package_id=171579 tarball] for SourceForge.

In order to get the OpenGL visualization utility (hdaps-gl) and the head parking daemon (hdapsd) working properly:
* created /etc/modprobe.d/hdaps , containing:
options thinkpad_ec force_io=1
options hdaps invert=1
* added to /etc/modules the following line:
hdaps
* installed '''hdapsd''', which creates the required udev rule (''/etc/udev/rules.d/z60_hdapsd.rules''). I used the 1:0.0.20081004-1 version of the package, as it was required by the new sysfs interface in 2.6.28.
* '''However''', if you don't want hdapsd (i.e. just want accelerometer data with no head parking), you can create a rule containing:
KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", ATTRS{phys}=="hdaps/input1",ATTRS{modalias}=="input:b0019v1014p5054e4801-*",SYMLINK+="input/hdaps/accelerometer-event
* installed '''hdaps-utils'''

== Hard drive issues ==
Running ''hdparm -i /dev/sda'' i get the exact model and firmware version of the disk:
Model=ST9250827AS , FwRev=3.CMF

I modified (in the kernel header ata.h) the ata_id_has_unload() to print the hex value of the ATA_ID_CFSSE word (Command Feature/Set Supported Extension). Here's what i get:
[ 3.910056] ata: CFSSE 4000

According to the ATA 7 spec, the 13th bit should be 1 if the drive supports "IDLE IMMEDIATE with UNLOAD FEATURE", and it is not the case here. At this point it is quite clear that the drive reports it doesn't support the feature. Just another [[Problem_with_APS_harddisk_parking#Drives_which_have_this_problem buggy disk model]].

But, doing a manual write to the sysfs file (like ''echo 10000 > /sys/block/sda/device/unload_heads'') does NOT cause an error and does cause the drive to park the heads (the specific sound is clearly audible).

= Not working =
* mute button
* fingerprint reader, seems there's no driver yet

= Not tested =
* DisplayPort

Used an (amd64) USB image (hd-media) and the Lenny RC1 netinstall ISO. Installation worked flawlessly, the Gigabit Ethernet adapter was detected and configured. Installed without X, switched to sid in sources.list and then went for X and Gnome.

I installation I compiled a vanilla 2.6.28 that I'm currently running.

= Working =
Pretty much out of the box with the 2.6.28 kernel:
* Gigabit Ethernet (e1000 module)
* 5300AGN wireless (iwlagn) with CRDA userspace regulation
* Intel graphics, X driver from sid repository
* suspend to ram (echo mem > /sys/power/state OR Fn+F4)
* sound (HDA) + volume control buttons
* Bluetooth
* webcam (UVC driver, tested with guvcview)
* card reader

= HDAPS =
The source package in the sid repository for tp_smapi is a bit outdated, so I compiled and installed using the tarball for SourceForge.

In order to get hdaps-gl working properly:
* created /etc/modprobe.d/hdaps , containing:
options thinkpad_ec force_io=1
options hdaps invert=1
* added to /etc/modules the following line:
hdaps
* created /etc/udev/rules.d/51-hdaps.rules , containing:
KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", ATTRS{phys}=="hdaps/input1",ATTRS{modalias}=="input:b0019v1014p5054e4801-*",SYMLINK+="input/hdaps/accelerometer-event
* installed hdaps-utils

== Hard drive making hdapsd useless ==
Alhough hdaps-gl shows the correct position of the laptop and 2.6.28 has built-in support for head parking, '''hdaspd is useless because the hard drive lacks the unloading feature'''. There is no '''unload_heads''' exposed in /sys/block/sda/device/ !

I modified the ata_id_has_unload() to print both ata_id_major_version and the ATA_ID_CFSSE word (Command Feature/Set Supported Extension). Here's what i get:
[ 4.028454] ata: major version 7 id CFSSE 16384

16284 is 4000 in hex. According to the ATA 7 spec, the 13th bit should be 1 if the drive supports "IDLE IMEDIATE with UNLOAD FEATURE". At this point it is quite clear that the drive lacks the feature.

But, if the drive is unable to unload on request, how does the "ThinkVantage airbag" magic work on Windows ?

= Not working =
* mute button
* fingerprint reader, seems there's no driver yet

= Not tested =
* DisplayPort

Drive conforms to: unknown: ATA/ATAPI-4,5,6,7

= Before installation =
* switched to discrete graphics (Intel 4500MHD) in the BIOS. I did't want to mess with the ATI card because of the driver issues.

= Installation =
Used an (amd64) USB image (hd-media) and the Lenny RC1 netinstall ISO. Installation worked flawlessly, the Gigabit Ethernet adapter was detected and configured. Installed without X, switched to sid in sources.list and then went for X and Gnome.

I installation I compiled a vanilla 2.6.28 that I'm currently running.

= Working =
Pretty much out of the box with the 2.6.28 kernel:
* Gigabit Ethernet (e1000 module)
* 5300AGN wireless (iwlagn) with CRDA userspace regulation
* Intel graphics, X driver from sid repository
* suspend to ram (echo mem > /sys/power/state OR Fn+F4)
* sound (HDA) + volume control buttons
* Bluetooth
* webcam (UVC driver, tested with guvcview)
* card reader

= HDAPS =
The source package in the sid repository for tp_smapi is a bit outdated, so I compiled and installed using the tarball for SourceForge.

In order to get hdaps-gl working properly:
* created /etc/modprobe.d/hdaps , containing:
options thinkpad_ec force_io=1
options hdaps invert=1
* added to /etc/modules the following line:
hdaps
* created /etc/udev/rules.d/51-hdaps.rules , containing:
KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", ATTRS{phys}=="hdaps/input1",ATTRS{modalias}=="input:b0019v1014p5054e4801-*",SYMLINK+="input/hdaps/accelerometer-event
* installed hdaps-utils

== Hard drive making hdapsd useless ==
Alhough hdaps-gl shows the correct position of the laptop and 2.6.28 has built-in support for head parking, '''hdaspd is useless because the hard drive lacks the unloading feature'''. There is no '''unload_heads''' exposed in /sys/block/sda/device/ !

I modified the ata_id_has_unload() to prin both ata_id_major_version and the ATA_ID_CFSSE word (Command Feature/Set Supported Extension). Here's what i get:
[ 4.028454] ata: major version 7 id CFSSE 16384

16284 is 4000 in hex. According to the ATA 7 spec, the 13th bit should be 1 if the drive supports "IDLE IMEDIATE with UNLOAD FEATURE". At this point it is quite clear that the drive lacks the feature.

But, if the drive is unable to unload on request, how does the "ThinkVantage airbag" magic work on Windows ?

Specific installation notes for the ThinkPad {{T500}}.

==General Notes==
