Install Debian Wheezy on a Thinkpad T530

== Disclaimer ==
My t530 is running with MATE 1.6, so this is not a default install by any means, but a lot of these changes will probably still work

=== NVIDIA Graphics ===
To run the NVIDIA card alongside the built-in Intel Graphics chip, I used bumblebee from wheezy backports

add the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list
deb $(your debian mirror)/debian/ wheezy-backports main

Option 1 (graphical):
# Go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
# Click the "Reload" button to pull in the backports list
# install the bumblebee-nvidia package (this will pull in the nvidia driver as well as bumblebee)
# reboot your system

Option 2 (command line):
# run "sudo apt-get update"
# run "sudo apt-get install bumblebee-nvidia"
# reboot your system

For both, to run a program using the nvidia chip, you should prepend "prumusrun" to the command. EG, if you want to run glxgears you should run "primusrun glxgears"
You can edit menu entries to include that as well so you don't have to run everything from a terminal emulator.
=== Wireless - 6300AGN ===
This should work for any of the Intel cards that came in the T530, but I just have the 6300 to test with.
Note: this requites that you are connected to the internet, the on-board Ethernet Adapter works out of the box.

Option 1 (graphical):
# Go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
# search for "firmware-iwlwifi" in the package manager
# select that package and install it
# reboot your system

Option 2 (command line):
# run "sudo apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi"
# reboot your system
=== Touchpoint Scrolling ===
Create the file "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-thinkpad.conf" and make its contents the following:

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Trackpoint Wheel Emulation"
MatchProduct "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint|DualPoint Stick|Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

There are more options than this, but this will at least do vertical scrolling. You will need to restart x (or just reboot) for this to work.

=== Wireless - 4965AGN ===
This should work for any of the Intel cards that came in the T61p, but I just have the 4965 to test with.
Note: this requites that you are connected to the internet, the on-board Ethernet Adapter works out of the box.

Option 1 (graphical):
# Go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
# search for "firmware-iwlwifi" in the package manager
# select that package and install it
# reboot your system

Option 2 (command line):
# run "sudo apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi"
# reboot your system

=== Video Driver ===
2D video works out of the box. There are 2 options to enable 3D Video.

Option 1 (graphical):

# Go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
# search for "nvidia" in the package manager
# select nvidia-glx and nvidia-settings for installation
# install the packages and restart X

Option 1 (command line):
# run "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-settings"
# restart x

Option 2:
# download the lastest nvidia driver from nvidia's site
# press {ctrl}+{alt}+{f1} to switch to a terminal
# cd to the directory that you downloaded the nvidia driver to
# either run all following commands using sudo, or just run sudo su and be root for a while
# run "/etc/init.d/gdm3 stop"
# run "sh NVIDIA-Linux-{arch}-XXX.XX.run" where {arch} is your archetecture, and XXX.XX is the driver version
# follow the instructions, I usually install the ia32 compat libs
# the last step of the installation asks if you want nvidia-settings to automatically configure xorg.conf. Say yes
# reboot your system

=== Ultranav (Middle Mouse Button) Scrolling ===

=== Harddrive Active Protection ===

Option 1 (graphical):
# Go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
# search for "tp-smapi" in the package manager
# select the packages "hdapsd" and "tp-smapi-dkms"
# install the packages

Option 2 {command line):
# run "sudo apt-get install hdapsd tp-smapi-dkms"

=== Fingerprint Reader ===
=== Hibernate ===

== Other Notes ==
=== NetworkManager + Wired LAN problems ===
If you use NetworkManager, you may notice that it might not want to manage the wired LAN.

To fix this problem:
# open a terminal and run "sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf" (or use the editor of your choice)
# in the section labeled "[ifupdown]" change "managed=false" to "managed=true"
# save and exit the editor
# run "sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart"

=== Wireless - 4965AGN ===
This should work for any of the Intel cards that came in the T61p, but I just have the 4965 to test with.
Note: this requites that you are connected to the internet, the on-board Ethernet Adapter works out of the box.

Option 1 (graphical):
# Go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
# search for "firmware-iwlwifi" in the package manager
# select that package and install it
# reboot your system

Option 2 (command line):
# run "apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi"
# reboot your system

=== Video Driver ===
2D video works out of the box. There are 2 options to enable 3D Video.

Option 1 (graphical):

# Go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
# search for "nvidia" in the package manager
# select nvidia-glx and nvidia-settings for installation
# install the packages and restart X

Option 1 (command line):
# run "apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-settings"
# restart x

Option 2:
# download the lastest nvidia driver from nvidia's site
# press {ctrl}+{alt}+{f1} to switch to a terminal
# cd to the directory that you downloaded the nvidia driver to
# either run all following commands using sudo, or just run sudo su and be root for a while
# run "/etc/init.d/gdm3 stop"
# run "sh NVIDIA-Linux-{arch}-XXX.XX.run" where {arch} is your archetecture, and XXX.XX is the driver version
# follow the instructions, I usually install the ia32 compat libs
# the last step of the installation asks if you want nvidia-settings to automatically configure xorg.conf. Say yes
# reboot your system

=== Ultranav (Middle Mouse Button) Scrolling ===

=== Harddrive Active Protection ===
=== Fingerprint Reader ===
=== Hibernate ===

== Other Notes ==
=== NetworkManager + Wired LAN problems ===
If you use NetworkManager, you may notice that it might not want to manage the wired LAN.

To fix this problem:
# open a terminal and run "sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf" (or use the editor of your choice)
# in the section labeled "[ifupdown]" change "managed=false" to "managed=true"
# save and exit the editor
# run "sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart"

# install the packages and restart X

Option 1 (command line):
# run "apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-settings"
# restart x

Option 2:
# download the lastest nvidia driver from nvidia's site
# press {ctrl}+{alt}+{f1} to switch to a terminal
# cd to the directory that you downloaded the nvidia driver to
# either run all following commands using sudo, or just run sudo su and be root for a while
# run "/etc/init.d/gdm3 stop"
# run "sh NVIDIA-Linux-{arch}-XXX.XX.run" where {arch} is your archetecture, and XXX.XX is the driver version
# follow the instructions, I usually install the ia32 compat libs
# the last step of the installation asks if you want nvidia-settings to automatically configure xorg.conf. Say yes
# reboot your system

=== Video Driver ===
2D video works out of the box. To enable 3D (and compiz),

# go to system -> admin -> hardware drivers. Install "version current" driver (not 173, which seems to break suspend). Reboot
# go to system -> preferences -> appearance and change the setting under the "Visual Effects" tab. A "driver search" window may popup - cancel it.

=== Ultranav (Middle Mouse Button) Scrolling ===
* run the command (press alt+f2) "gksudo gedit /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-thinkpad.conf" (for Ubuntu 10.10 this should be: "gksudo gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-thinkpad.conf")
* paste this into the file
<pre>
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Trackpoint Wheel Emulation"
MatchProduct "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint|DualPoint Stick|Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint|ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"

EndSection
</pre>
* Restart X (logout and back in)

* If you want to disable horizontal scrolling, remove the line
<pre>
Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
</pre>

* The above also disables middle button pasting and makes the middle button act the same as the left button. If you wish to enable it, remove the line
<pre>
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 1 3 4 5"
</pre>
