Installing OpenSUSE 10.2 on a ThinkPad R61

To get the following things working, there are at least two ways: Using
# the default kernel of {{OpenSUSE}} 10.2, or
# the kernel of the day (KOTD), e.g., precompiled available at [http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_Factory/ openSUSE BuildService] or from the openSUSE factory or 10.3 alpha distribution; has to be >= 2.6.22

An x86_64 installation requires the latter option, since the Windows XP Intel WiFi driver does not work there.

== Graphics: NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M ==
When using the default kernel there are two ways:
# use the precompiled driver from the NVIDIA package repository [http://en.opensuse.org/Nvidia#The_easy_way], or
# compile the latest driver on your own [http://en.opensuse.org/Nvidia#The_hard_way].

A kernel of the day implies the second way, since there are simply no precompiled drivers.

In both cases, install a recent alsa version from the additional Packman YaST package repository. [http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories] [http://opensuse-community.org/Package_Sources]

When using the default kernel, the alsa mixer workaround script is needed to get at least the internal speakers working. Get it, e.g., from {{Install|Ubuntu| 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) Tribe| R61}}.

With an updated kernel (>=2.6.22) and updated alsa (>=1.0.14) speakers, headphones and internal microphone work (Didn't test external mic).

== WiFi: Intel 4965AGN ==
The easiest way getting this to work on a default kernel is to install ndiswrapper [http://en.opensuse.org/Ndiswrapper] and the NETw4x32.INF driver of the Windows XP Professional zip [http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=N&ProductID=2753&DwnldID=13000&strOSs=44&OSFullName=Windows*%20XP%20Professional&lang=eng].

Updated kernels (>=2.6.22) include the new mac80211 WLAN stack and so are prepared for installing the native Linux Intel 4965AGN [http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi iwlwifi kernel module]. Sometimes it works, sometimes not (iwlwifi 0.42), but driver is still in development and a stable version will hopefully be published soon.

== UltraNav ==

=== TouchPad ===
The [[Synaptics TouchPad driver for X]] version distributed with openSUSE 10.2 (x11-input-synaptics-0.14.6-24) does not work. Thus, there are no advandced features like scrolling available.

=== Trackpoint ===
The Trackpoint can be used to perform scrolling, similar to Windows. Just add the following options to the "InputDevice" section of the X.org configuration:
<pre>
Option "EmulateWheel" "On"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
</pre>

== Power Management ==
Neither suspend to RAM (s2ram) nor suspend to disk (s2disk) work out of the box when running X. s2ram immediately resumes and s2disk fails to restore the display. s2disk works fine when not running X, e.g., runlevel 3 or less. Following [http://en.opensuse.org/S2ram], {{cmd|s2ram -f -p -m|}} and {{cmd|s2ram -f -p -s|}} work within minimal environment and a normal environment without X. However, there will be a lot of ACPI errors in the log on resume.

Blacklisting the agpgart kernel module according [http://en.opensuse.org/NVidia_Suspend_HOWTO] does not work, since the nvidia module depends on it.

Schlodty:

Yes, we can merge the instruction:

Things, that are not covered by your description:
- The windows WLAN-driver does not work with 64bit system and so ndiswrapper does not work. I updated to the 2.6.22 kernel with mac80211-wlan-stack support and installed the iwlwifi-driver (still in development, does not work perfectly)
- Did your sound work just by updating alsa and using the alsa-workaround-script? I updated alsa and with kernel 2.6.22 sound worked without any additional workaround.

Shall I include the instructions in your description?

Thank you for adding my instructions. Yes, NVIDIA self-compiled kernel-module works very well. I did this many times before for a Suse 10.0 system and never had any problems. Suspend to disk or ram I didn't try.

By the way, does the email confirmation work for you. I tried many times but never got a confirmation mail.

This device isn't supported by current Alsa Driver [http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/index.php?vendor=vendor-Analog_Devices#matrix] (as of May 25, 2007).

However, Takashi Iwai has added support to this device in Alsa development version [http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa-kernel/log?rev=AD1984]... Still have to wait to get it included in the Linux Kernel... Note: It is rather trivial too get this working in a standard kernel right now, It is only 3 patches on top of the stock 1.0.14 code:

* [http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa-kernel/rev/958b39f3e8dd Fix Oops with AD1984 thinkpad model]

* [http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa-kernel/rev/ca37aeeeb0ea Fix Thinkpad X61/T61 outputs]

Alsa-Driver 1.0.14 added some support for this chip, but did not work on my T61; however, using the latest HG/Mercurial makes everything work. I created a Debian package for unstable/sid with the HG alsa that works for me, available at [http://people.debian.org/~jello/alsa-modules-2.6.21-2-686_1.0.15~hg2007070601-1+2.6.21-5_i386.deb]. --[[User:Jello|Jello]] 15:31, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
