View source for Installing Debian 5.0 (Lenny) on a ThinkPad X32

== Introduction notes ==

This wiki has tons of useful tips regarding this laptop, so this document only gathers information that is either specific to {{Debian}} Lenny or hard to find on the web. Linking to other pages on this wiki has been generally prefered to duplicating information.

The page dedicated to the {{X32}} is another good starting point to fine-tune your GNU/Linux installation on this notebook.

=== To do ===

* Document Linux boot options

== Upgrade the BIOS ==

In case your X32 came with Windows installed, enjoy a BIOS upgrade
before installing GNU/Linux.

== Prepare the installation media ==

Running the installation from a USB stick was the chosen method.

* Get the <code>boot.img.gz</code> from the [http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/ Debian installer website]
* Prepare a bootable USB stick, following the [http://debian.org/releases/lenny/i386/ch04s03.html.fr#usb-copy-flexible Debian installation guide], as the "easy way" did not work for us.
* In case you need to install using a wireless network, you are quite lucky, as Lenny's installer now supports loading firmwares during the install process; to make use of this feature, follow the [http://debian.org/releases/lenny/i386/ch06s04.html Loading Missing Firmware] section of the installation guide.

== Integrated wireless ==

According to {{X32}}, various mini-PCI wifi cards may be installed. Ours came with If you
have the Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, which identifies itself as:

{{cmduser|lspci}}<br />
{{cmdresult|02:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)}}

{{cmduser|lspci -n}}<br />
{{cmdresult|02:02.0 0280: 8086:4220 (rev 05)}}

To get it working, one must install the firmware (unless it was
loaded during the installation process): {{cmdroot|aptitude install firmware-ipw2x00}}.

For this to work, you may need to include the non-free section from Debian's repositories in {{path|/etc/apt/sources.list}}, in case it is not enabled yet.

To enable the nice wireless led, add the following line to {{path|/etc/modprobe.d/local}} (creating this file if needed):
<pre>options ipw2200 led=1</pre>.

== X.Org ==

First, make sure you're using the radeon driver.

=== Direct rendering ===

First, install the mesa-utils package. Then, to see if direct
rendering is enabled, run: {{cmduser|glxinfo | grep -i direct}}.

If this command outputs {{cmdresult|direct rendering: Yes}}, you don't need to do anything special, as DRI is already working.

Else, read on. These instructions probably do far more than enabling DRI, but at least they work for me :)

Add the following lines to {{path|/etc/modules}} and {{path|/etc/initramfs-tools/modules}}; the goal is to ensure these kernel modules are loaded in good order, before X is started:

<pre>
intel_agp
agpgart
drm
radeon
</pre>

Then add these options to the Device section in {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}}:

<pre>
Option		"DRI" "true"
Option		"AccelMethod" "EXA"
Option		"AGPMode" "4"
Option		"AGPFastWrite" "on"
Option		"ColorTiling" "on"
Option		"EnablePageFlip" "on"
Option		"AGPSize" "32"
Option		"GARTSize" "32"
Option		"XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
Option		"EnableDepthMoves" "true"
</pre>

=== TrackPoint ===

The [[TrackPoint]] page is a good starting point to fine-tune this input device according to your needs and preferences, e.g. scrolling using the middle-mouse-button and the TrackPoint.

=== Power saving ===

To enable dynamic adjusting of the Radeon card frequency rates, add
this option to the Device section in {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}}:

<pre>
Option		"DynamicClocks" "on"
</pre>

The rovclock package allows to get/set these frequencies manually, see [[Rovclock]] for more information.

== Special keys ==

Once the acpi-support package is installed, almost all special {{key|Fn}} keys work as expected, at least on a Gnome desktop.

=== Video switch key ===

The video switch key {{key|Fn}}{{key|F7}} is not bound to any action by default.
To have it run a nice RandR user interface, see
[[Sample_Fn-F7_script#Having_Fn-F7_run_a_RandR_GUI]].

== Bluetooth and IrDA ==

One can fully disable these things by adding the following lines to
{{path|/etc/modprobe.d/local}}:

<pre>
# irda-related modules
blacklist irda
blacklist irtty_sir
blacklist nsc_ircc
blacklist sir_dev
# bluetooth
blacklist hci_usb
</pre>

== Power saving ==

=== SpeedStep ===

Install the cpufrequtils Debian package.

{{path|/etc/default/cpufrequtils}} must contain:

<pre>
ENABLE="true"                
GOVERNOR="ondemand"
</pre>

{{path|/etc/default/loadcpufreq}} must contain:

<pre>
ENABLE=true
FREQDRIVER=acpi-cpufreq
</pre>

Then run:

{{cmdroot|/etc/init.d/loadcpufreq restart}}
{{cmdroot|/etc/init.d/cpufrequtils restart}}

=== laptop-mode ===

Just install the laptop-mode-tools package.

=== Miscellaneous ===

Adding the following lines to {{path|/etc/modprobe.d/local}} enables
automatic power saving for the sound card and the USB ports, and
prevents the wireless card from monitoring the whole universe unless
told:

<pre>
options snd-ac97-codec power_save=1
options usbcore autosuspend=1
options ipw2200 associate=0
</pre>

== SMAPI support ==

To get various model-specific features, such as advanced battery monitoring, the tp_smapi kernel module must be loaded. ThinkWiki has a nice [[Tp_smapi dedicated page]] explaining how to do so. Make sure you add this module to {{path|/etc/modules}} so that it is loaded at boot time.

== Sleep and suspend ==

First, install the needed acpi-support, uswsusp and hibernate packages.

=== Suspend-to-disk (hibernation) ===

It works OK with all methods: {{key|Fn}}{{key|F12}}, Gnome battery icon and hibernate command. The backend used by default is [[Swsusp]].

Modifying {{path|/etc/hibernate/common.conf}} may be needed to achieve this:

* uncomment <code>UseDummyXServer yes</code> to prevent DRI from being disabled   on resume
* uncomment <code>SwitchToTextMode yes</code>
* if using Gnome, uncomment <code>LockGnomeScreenSaver yes</code>

=== Suspend-to-RAM ===

First, install the radeontool and vbetool packages.

==== s2ram ====

Works out of the box.

==== hibernate-ram ====

In {{path|/etc/hibernate/ram.conf}}, uncomment <code>RadeonTool yes</code> and comment <code>TryMethod sysfs-ram.conf</code>. Then the {{cmdroot|hibernate-ram}} command should do the Right Thing.

One can optionnally enable suspend-to-both by uncommenting <code>TryMethod ususpend-both.conf</code> in the same file.

==== pm-suspend ====

Works ok with:
{{cmdroot|pm-suspend --quirk-s3-bios --quirk-s3-mode --quirk-radeon-off}}}

'''FIXME''': are the arguments needed?

==== Gnome ====

The Gnome Power Manager suspend button does the Right Thing.
 
==== Sleep key (Fn-F4) ====

Works ok in Gnome.

== UltraBase X3 ==

[[UltraBase_X3]] has useful information on this. In short, using the stock Debian kernel, hotswapping the UltraBase is not possible, but it is perfectly recognized if the computer is booted docked.

== Modem ==

Install the sl-modem-source and module-assistant packages, then run:
{{cmduser|m-a a-i sl-modem}} that will build and install the necessary (non-free) kernel module and userspace daemon.

'''FIXME''': test the resulting packages actually work.
