IBM Integrated Bluetooth IV with 56K Modem (BMDC-3)

*IBM FRU PN: 39T0026 ($46.00 in October 2005)

This part takes the place of the 56K Modem board.
It requires a Bluetooth antenna, and some ThinkPads built without Bluetooth already have the antenna installed -- the antenna wire may be found disconnected and taped under the Modem board.

In addition to the Modem/BT module, a Bluetooth Thinkpad also uses an extra indicator LED below the LCD display, and another indicator LED on the top of the lid. To see these two LEDs, two new clear plates are required. The entire set of replacement sticker plates can be ordered as FRU 26R8409 ($12 as of July 2005). (formerly FRU: 13R2455)

=== Linux Bluetooth driver ===

The Bluetooth device is implemented using USB. Enabling/disabling bluetooth leads to USB connect and disconnect events. It can be enabled or disabled by:

* pressing the {{key|Fn}}{{key|F5}} key combination;
* using [[ibm-acpi]].

The bcm203x kernel module, which is included in recent kernels, supports this chipset. Since the Bluetooth device is using USB, you have to make sure to '''compile it as a module'''. If it's built into the kernel, the kernel won't detect the chip at boottime (when Bluetooth is turned off).

Use bluez-utils (http://www.bluez.org/) or fancier software like the GNOME Bluetooth subsystem (http://usefulinc.com/software/gnome-bluetooth) to use the device.

Some problems have been reported using bluetooth after a suspend/resume cycle on the T43. These problems can be mitigated by unloading the USB kernel modules (uhci_hcd, ehci_hcd, hci_usb, bcm203x) before the machine is put to sleep, and by re-loading these modules when the machine wakes up again.

=== Linux Modem driver ===
Although, the [http://www.smlink.com/ Smartlink] driver for Agere modems is able to communicate with the modem via AT commands, it cannot dial out (contradicting reports welcome!).

If your favourite distribution does not include a hsfmodem driver (search for "hsfmodem" or "Conexant"), you can try the one from Linuxant: http://www.linuxant.com/drivers (14k free as in beer, 56k+Fax license 15$, they explain this policy under: http://www.linuxant.com/store/faq.php )

Problem with display remaining black after resume

2005-09-09T18:41:48Z

WouterBolsterlee: Add R52

There has been a problem encountered where the display stays black on resuming from suspend.

The symptom might have you think first that your system hang up, but you will realize that your ThinkPad works and you can even reset it via {{key|Ctrl}}{{key|Alt}}{{key|Del}}.

==Affected Models==
*ThinkPad {{T41p}}, {{T42}}, {{T42p}}
*ThinkPad {{X41}}, {{X40}}, {{X30}}, {{X31}}, {{X21}}
*ThinkPad {{R50e}}{{footnote|1}}, {{R52}}

==Affected Operating Systems==
*Linux (it's a kernel issue)

==Solutions==
===Solution for ThinkPads with ATI graphic chips===
This seems to work on x40's, even with Intel Extreme Graphics...

The Solution is to provide the {{bootparm|acpi_sleep|s3_bios}} kernel parameter in your kernel parameter line.

For grub this can look like this:
title Linux, kernel 2.6.11-1-686
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro acpi_sleep=s3_bios
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.11-1-686
savedefault
boot

===Solution for ThinkPads with Intel Extreme Graphics 2===
*First of all, '''do not''' use the {{bootparm|acpi_sleep|s3_bios}} kernel parameter.
*Second, completely remove framebuffer support from your kernel. If it's built as modules, it is important that they do not get loaded at all.
*Before suspending, change to a console and safe the video state with {{cmdroot|cat /proc/bus/pci/00/02.0 > /tmp/video_state}}.
*On resume, restore the video state with {{cmdroot|cat /tmp/video_state > /proc/bus/pci/00/02.0}} and change back to X.
The following example {{path|/etc/acpi/actions/sleep.sh}} script shows how to integrate the according lines.

#!/bin/bash

# change to console 1
FGCONSOLE=`fgconsole`
chvt 6

# safe video state
cat /proc/bus/pci/00/02.0 > /tmp/video_state

# sync filesystem
sync

# sync hardware clock with system time
hwclock --systohc

# go to sleep
echo -n 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep

# waking up
# restore system clock
hwclock --hctosys

# restore video state
cat /tmp/video_state > /proc/bus/pci/00/02.0

# change back to X
chvt $FGCONSOLE

# clean up behind us
rm /tmp/video_state

{{footnotes|
#If you have this problem with R50e and the above solution doesn't work, try switching to console first. An example sleep script can be found [[How to configure acpid|here]].
