Install Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) on a ThinkPad T400
Site under construction. Please help building an useful guidance!

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?
What needs some Tweaks?
What doesn't work at the moment?
Switchable Graphics
Suspend/Hibernate
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.
