Revision as of 14:26, 15 November 2011

This article describes the installation of Ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit) on a Thinkpad T410 type 2537-9UG (NVIDIA NVS 3100M). This guide assumes that NVIDIA Optimus is disabled in BIOS (Graphics set to "discrete")!

Hardware Support Details

Works out-of-the-box

  • Ethernet
  • Audio
  • DVD burner
  • Card reader
  • Webcam
  • WLAN
  • Bluetooth
  • DisplayPort (tested with HDMI-TV)

Works with additional configuration

  • Display brightness with NVIDIA
  • HDAPS
  • Docking station (Details soon)


Untested

  • FireWire
  • Fingerprint
  • NVIDIA Optimus

The remaining devices are currently not tested.

Display brightness with NVIDIA

Use the following parameter in the "Device"-section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf: 

Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"

HDAPS (Hard Drive Active Protection System)

You need the ThinkPad SMAPI and the hdaps-daemon, install them by following command: 

sudo apt-get install tp-smapi-dkms hdapsd

Edit /etc/default/hdapsd with root privileges: 

START=yes         # hdaps should be started automatically
DISK=sda          # normally sda should fit 
SENSITIVITY=15    # higher values mean lesser sensitivity 
FORCEENABLE="no"  # force hdaps, not needed
OPTIONS=""        # additional options, not needed

Restart the daemon: 

sudo /etc/init.d/hdapsd restart

Testing (stop daemon and start in foreground): 

sudo /etc/init.d/hdapsd stop

sudo hdapsd -d sda -s 15

Output should look like: 

sven@T410:~$ sudo hdapsd -d sda -s 15
Tue Nov 15 13:25:25 2011: Starting hdapsd
Tue Nov 15 13:25:25 2011: Selected interface: HDAPS
Tue Nov 15 13:25:25 2011: Selected HDAPS input device: /dev/input/event9
Tue Nov 15 13:25:28 2011: parking
Tue Nov 15 13:25:29 2011: un-parking

If test was succesful start daemon again: 

sudo /etc/init.d/hdapsd start

Docking station
