= Tested and Verified on Fedora 16 =

Information in this section has been tested and verified using Fedora.

== Installation ==

Installation is straight forward; you can follow the generic Fedora install instructions.

== Configuration ==

=== X Server - Intel HD Graphics===
Works out of the box, including Compiz and external VGA display.

Other display types (DisplayPort) have not been tested as they require a Dock.

=== ThinkPad Extra keys ===
ThinkPad keys are handled by a mixture of the thinkpad_acpi, acpi button, acpi dock and acpi video drivers.

	== Configuration ==		== Configuration ==
		+	=== Kernel ===
		+	You may want to consider editing {{path\|/etc/default/grub}} and adding {{bootparm\|pcie_aspm\|force}} to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line, and running {{cmdroot\|grub2-mkconfig}}. This will force enable PCIe ASPM power saving functions, which are getting disabled because the BIOS claims not to support it, but it does work and it makes a significant difference in battery life. A potential downside is that if the system really does not support it, you could experience system freezes, but I have not noticed any (YMMV).
