Common to all distributions should be the following two issues:

• the built-in microphone does not work by default

Refer to the linlap entry [1] for details.

(K)Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

See: Installing Kubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) on a ThinkPad Edge 13" (Intel)

Ubuntu 10.10

Ubuntu 10.10 out-of-the-box supports pretty much all this machine's hardware, including:

• power (frequency scaling, hibernate)
• networking (wifi and ethernet)
• card reader (tested with SDHC card)
• webcam
• HDMI (video & audio (need to select the "HDMI Output" in Sound Preferences))
• combo headphone/mic jack (same kind of connector as many smartphones)
• bluetooth
• trackpad (but only in "pseudo-multitouch", see above)

What doesn't work:

• inbuilt microphone (see above)

OpenSUSE 11.3

OpenSUSE 11.3 supports this model out-of-the-box, including 3D desktop effects, hibernate, built-in webcam and wireless.

A workaround to enable the the built-in microphone is to add the following line at the beginning of /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf:
options snd-hda-intel model=olpc-xo-1_5
