Model
Lenovo Thinkpad T410s 2912-W1C, BIOS 1.11
General
This installation instruction describes these parts that do not or do not completely work after my OpenSUSE 11.3 Milestone 7 DVD installation using KDE 4 as window manager.
Graphics
Enabling compositing crashes X due to a bug in the Intel 2010Q1 graphics package. Fixed packages are available [1].
Network
Because of bug [2], the laptop pattern must be installed manually using YaST. Then, YaST must be used to switch to NetworkManager instead of traditional ifup.
Wireless WAN
The optional Wireless WAN (WWAN) adapter Qualcomm Gobi 2000 does not work out of the box. First, the current (2.6.34) qcserial kernel driver module does not support the 2000 version of the Qualcomm Gobi. Second, the application that uploads the firmware to the WWAN device is broken since kernel 2.6.32 [3]. Thus, you need kernel 2.6.35 or to backport the related patches manually [4].
TouchPad
The TouchPad is configured by the KDE system settings, e.g., the mouse clicks triggered by tapping. However, for enabling two-finger scrolling, some XInput properties must be set:
$ xinput set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad" "Synaptics Two-Finger Scrolling" 1 0
$ xinput set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad" "Synaptics Two-Finger Pressure" 40
Trackpoint
The Trackpoint can be used to perform scrolling, similar to Windows, by holding down the middle button and moving the Trackpoint. If you do not like the horizontal scrolling enabled by default, since some browser might move forward and backward in their history, disable it by:
$ xinput set-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation Axes" 8 -1 -1 4 5
Integrated Fingerprint Reader
The fingerprint sensor is a UPEK TouchStrip (USB vendor ID 0x147e). But the driver is only included in the development version of libfprint. Since the current release 0.0.6 is provided by the distribution, the reader does not work.
