=== The Integrated camera ===
Almost all recent ThinkPads have an integrated camera above the display. This camera (typically called a webcam) is USB attached. On some earlier ThinkPads a proprietary camera was used, but later models use a standard UVC camera which is supported by the [http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ uvcvideo driver].

== ThinkPads which may have a proprietary camera ==
These ThinkPads have a 0.3MP fixed focus Sonix SN9C201 camera which is supported by the '''gspca_sn9c20x''' driver.

*FRU PN: 60Y3199 (T510, T510i, W510, X100e)

=== Linux Driver ===

The Bluetooth adapter uses the '''hci_usb''' driver {{kernelconf|CONFIG_BT_HCIUSB||||||}}.

One can enable Bluetooth by pressing {{key|Fn}}{{key|F5}}. If this doesn't work, you can load the [[thinkpad-acpi]] kernel module and run the following command with root privileges:

{{cmdroot|echo "enable" > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth}}

When Bluetooth is enabled, the Bluetooth-logo LED will light up and executing {{cmdroot|lsusb}} will show an entry mentioning "Broadcom".

On recent ThinkPads the Wireless killswitch disables both WiFi and Bluetooth (verified on a ThinkPad Z60m, Z61t, T60, T61 and X61).

=== Set Fn + F5 or Fn + F6 as hotkey to enable/disable Bluetooth ===
If the {{key|Fn}}{{key|F5}} combo doesn't work for you out-of-box, you can easily use Linux ACPI subsystem to enable and disable Bluetooh. You only need to create two small files (shown below). Note that you need to have <code>acpid</code> and <code>thinkpad_acpi</code> installed and properly working. The following scripts were tested on openSUSE 10.3.

Newer ThinkPad T Series Models cycle through four options:
# WLAN on + bluetooth on
# WLAN off + bluetooth off
# WLAN off + bluetooth on
# WLAN on + bluetooth off
If you don't like this and want to control only bluetooth without affecting WLAN you can simply add {{key|Fn}}{{key|F6}} as the bluetooth toggle. To do that use the second ACPI event handler scipt below instead of the first one.
==== ACPI action script ====
<pre># cat /etc/acpi/actions/bluetooth
#!/bin/bash
# Bluetooth enable/disable script

/etc/init.d/bluetooth status

if [ "$?" -ne 0 ]; then
/etc/init.d/bluetooth start > /dev/null
echo enabled > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
echo "Bluetooth enabled"
else
/etc/init.d/bluetooth stop > /dev/null
echo disabled > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
echo "Bluetooth disabled"
fi</pre>
This script, when executed, detects the current state of Bluetooth subsystem and changes it to the opposite state.

==== ACPI event handler ====
<pre># cat /etc/acpi/events/bluetooth
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001005
action=/etc/acpi/actions/bluetooth</pre>
<code>acpid</code>, once detects Fn + F5 keypress, runs the given script which disables or enables Bluetooth (and changes state of indication LED).

To use {{key|Fn}}{{key|F6}} for bluetooth toggling only and leave the function of FN+F5 on newer ThinkPads intact use the following script instead of the one above:
<pre># cat /etc/acpi/events/bluetooth
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001006
action=/etc/acpi/actions/bluetooth</pre>

UltraNav

2010-10-24T12:31:16Z

SQUelcher: /* Models featuring UltraNav */

{| width="100%"
|style="vertical-align:top;padding-right:20px;width:10px;" | [[Image:ultranav.jpg|IBM UltraNav]]
|style="vertical-align:top" |
<div style="margin: 0; margin-right:10px; border: 1px solid #dfdfdf; padding: 0em 1em 1em 1em; background-color:#F8F8FF; align:right;">
===IBM UltraNav===
The classic integrated pointing device in ThinkPads was always a trackpoint. With the T30 IBM introduced UltraNav, a combination of both the traditional [[TrackPoint]] coupled with a programmable touchpad. The technology for this combined pointing device comes from Synaptics. The TouchPad features several customizable features, including scrolling by movement along the edges, tap zones, and ignoring accidental touches.
</div>
|}

==Linux Support==
Both the [[TrackPoint]] and the TouchPad (UltraNav) work with the standard ps2 mouse driver of Linux kernels.

For advanced configuration of the touchpad, see the [[Synaptics TouchPad driver for X]] page.

Select ThinkPads (at least some of R61) have ALPS dual pointing device (instead of Synaptics). This leads to some problems since ALPS refuses to provide specs how exactly TrackPoint is separated from TouchPad. Currently the choice is to configure TrackPoint to scroll properly with middle button pressed using generic "mouse" driver in X.Org '''OR''' apply tiny patch posted to [http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8864 bugzilla] and configure TouchPad as Synaptics (but this breaks TrackPoint scrolling). To enable Trackpoint scrolling and use the alps touchpad apply following patch: http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/input-mouse-alpsc-handle-touchpoints-buttons-correctly.patch, which has been merged into the main kernel 2.6.31-rc1.

If you wish to disable the touchpad you can do so in the BIOS, or on modern HAL enabled distributions, create a file {{path|/etc/hal/fdi/policy/disable-touchpad.fdi}}
with the following content:
<match key="info.product" string="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad">
<merge key="input.x11_options.TouchpadOff" type="string">1</merge>
</match>

==Windows Support==
The UltraNav driver from IBM is based on the Synaptics driver. It contains a bug leading to "defective pixels":
If the scroll-function of the touchpad is used (moving finger on right border of touchpad), often taskmanager shows an application/window on its first tab named "Syn Visual Window". Sometimes this stays on the screen and in task manager. It is a 1x1 pixel large window that is usually white. If you move the mouse directly over this pixel, a little icon appears like if the middle trackpoint button is used to scroll. This pixel can be removed by terminating SynTP* processes in taskmanager. Some claim that it can be removed by using the middle trackpoint button, although this is not always the case.
So far this problem has been reproduced on T60P and T41P, but only by scrolling large wegpages in Firefox. After Firefox was closed, the pixel is still there. IBM was able to reproduce this by installing Firefox on a fresh recovery image in their labs. But they refuse to fix this or pass it to Synaptics or their driver developers, because Firefox "is not supported". Guess IBM only wants you to use IE. This bug is quite annoying because people think it's a wandering defective pixel.

Recently, A T42 with Windows XP and Internet Explorer 7 was also able to reproduce this issue.

==Issues==
I noticted that when i'm moving the cursor with the touchpad a annoying ZZZZZCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHH-sound comes from the laptop.
This happends only when on battery. Discussion about the issue:

=== (In)Compatibility ===
Though the slot is MiniPCIe in form factor, it has been crippled to only accept devices with PCI-ID's contained in a BIOS whitelist consisting of the above list of devices (likely not exhaustive and varying depending on the particular system) with the additional requirement that they '''must carry the Lenovo brand name and consequently cost twice as much'''. If an unauthorized card is plugged in it gives a <tt>1802</tt> error on initial boot up before it even touches the operating system. (see [[Problem with unauthorized MiniPCI network card]], [http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=69445 1802 with MiniPCIe on t60],[http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=T_Series_Thinkpads&message.id=274 same]). The workarounds on the first link concerning MiniPCI devices may or may not be directly applicable to the MiniPCIe slot. Anyone who has added non-Lenovo components to this slot either successfully or unsuccessfully is encouraged to provide any relevant details here.
