<p>Towolf: </p> <hr /> <div>Please improve on this preliminary effort.<br /> <br /> ==Overview==<br /> <br /> Installation was done with a fresh Ubuntu 9.04 (x86, 32 Bit) and (amd64, 64 Bit). Overall impression: An installation without severe glitches so far. :-)<br /> <br /> ==Keyboard==<br /> <br /> Pretty much all of the Fn+... keys work (not all tested yet)<br /> tested: lock screen, brightness, sleep, hibernation, battery status, thinklight<br /> <br /> To make the Mute button work add the kernel option '''acpi_osi=&quot;Linux&quot;''' .<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Ethernet==<br /> <br /> Works out of the box.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Wireless==<br /> <br /> Works out of the box.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Ericsson F3507g Mobile Broadband Module==<br /> <br /> Work out of the box on amd64 version, should work therefore on i386 too.<br /> <br /> The GPS works too, when sending the commands manually to the card as described in http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ericsson_F3507g_Mobile_Broadband_Module . However I couln't connect to /dev/ttyACMx with cu. I first had to change the owner of the devices with &quot;sudo chown uucp.uucp /dev/ttyACMx&quot;.<br /> <br /> ==Bluetooth==<br /> <br /> untested.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Fan==<br /> <br /> It is spinning lightly (2000-5000 rpm) almost all the time, rather the same situation as on Windows XP.<br /> To get the X301 silent and cool, [http://www.gambitchess.org/mediawiki/index.php/ThinkPad_Fan_Control ThinkPad Fan Control] may be a solution. However, a X301 fan profile is still missing. (Perhaps someone might provide a profile? I try to but I am not very lucking finding the right profile at the moment). <br /> <br /> On Jaunty &quot;System&gt;Administration Fan Control Panels&quot; does not work. You have to start it manually in the Terminal with<br /> sudo tpfan-admin<br /> A fix for the control panel underway.<br /> <br /> ==Power Management==<br /> <br /> Seems to work fine - not fully tested yet.<br /> <br /> Using a second battery instead of the CD-ROM drive works fine too.<br /> <br /> ==Display==<br /> <br /> Works fine :-)<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Suspend and Hibernate==<br /> <br /> Both work out of the box. But there might be a problem with the X Server crashing after resume (see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/340328 )<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Sound==<br /> <br /> Works out of the box. Plugging in headphone or microphone will mute the internal devices and switch to external jacks.<br /> <br /> <br /> Untested remain:<br /> * usage with a sound server (esd)<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Camera==<br /> <br /> Works out of the box (tested with [http://projects.gnome.org/cheese/ Cheese]) but on repeated use it often fails or blocks. Reloading the uvcvideo kernel module resets the camera.<br /> <br /> ==External Displays==<br /> Works out of the box (dual screen and mirror screens).
