Site under construction. Please help building an useful guidance!
Contents
Before Installation
Before you can start Ubuntu from CD or USB you have to change two BIOS settings:
- Change to Internal or ATI Graphics with Config --> Display --> Graphics Device --> [Integrated graphics] or [Discrete Graphics]
- Disable OS Detection for Switchable Graphics. Otherwise it will mysteriously switch back to Switchable Graphics.
Now you can boot you Live-CD, connect to Wireless Lan, and install the OS.
What works out of the box?
- Wireless (Intel 5300 ABGN)
- Only tested G mode + WEP yet
- Intel driver for Integrated Graphics (Intel Integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD)
- with 3D acceleration out-of-the-box
- ATI fglrx driver for Discrete Graphics (ATI Mobility Radeon 3470 graphics)
- To enjoy 3D acceleration, you have to install the proprietary fglrx Driver. (for example with the jockey-gtk tool)
- Gigabit Lan
- Touchpoint and Trackpad
- Including scroll at the right side of the pad by default.
- Optical drive
- Not tested burning yet
- Sound card
- To use your internal microphone you have to change to HDA Intel CONEXANT Analog (ALSA) in audio-settings.
- 7-in-1 card reader from Ricoh (MMC, Memory Stick, Mem Stick Pro, SD, SDHC, XD, XD Type H Memory)
- Only tested SD cards.
- Control buttons/Hotkeys
- Volume control buttons
- Screen brightness control (but changing Brightness is a little bit diffuse. It's getting brighter but on maximum it changes to nearly lowest and get brighter again.)
- Thinklight control
- WLAN/BT/OFF toggle (Fn+F5 and mechanical toggle)
- Media player control
- Some ACPI features
- Battery status, power graphs and history (tested with an single 6-Cell battery)
- Lid states and events
What needs some Tweaks?
ThinkVantage Button
Edit the file /usr/share/hotkey-setup/ibm.hk with adding this line:
setkeycodes e017 148 #thinkpad button
You have to restart, then you can add a command with the keyboard shortcuts menu.
What doesn't work at the moment?
Integrated Fingerprint Reader
Theres a new chipset build in, the "AuthenTec AES2810". So neither the thinkfinger nor the fprint Project support this Device at the moment.

Switchable Graphics
Suspend/Hibernate
Neither Suspend nor Hibernate work for me. They fell asleep, but waking up nearly never works. Maybe it works once... but i can't remember exactly.
Not tested yet
- IBM Active Protection System
- There is no patch for Kernel 2.6.27-7 at the moment (HDAPS, How to protect the harddisk through APS)
