Please improve on this preliminary effort.
Contents
Overview
Installation was done with a fresh Ubuntu 9.04 (x86, 32 bit). Overall impression: an installation without severe glitches so far :-)
Keyboard
Pretty much all of the Fn+... keys work (not all tested yet) tested: lock screen, brightness, sleep, hibernation, battery status, thinklight
To make the Mute button work add the kernel option acpi_osi="Linux" .
Ethernet
Works out of the box.
Wireless
Works out of the box.
Bluetooth
untested.
Fan
It is spinning lightly (2000-5000 rpm) almost all the time, rather the same situation as on Windows XP. To get the X301 silent and cool, ThinkPad Fan Control may be a solution. However, a X301 fan profile is still missing. (Perhaps someone might provide a profile?)
Power Management
Seems to work fine - not fully tested yet.
Display
Works fine :-)
Suspend and Hibernate
Both work out of the box.
Sound
Works out of the box. Plugging in headphone or microphone will mute the internal devices and switch to external jacks.
Untested remain:
- usage with a sound server (esd)
Camera
Works out of the box but on repeated use it often fails or blocks. Reloading the uvcvideo kernel module resets the camera.
External Displays
not tested yet.
Compiz / 3D Acceleration
Works. But the performance of the intel driver in 9.04 is not optimal.
Boot time
About 20s including time spent in BIOS and POST.
Fingerprint Reader
Doesn't currently work as it's an AuthenTec and not a Thompson chip. Linux driver is missing. Any news here?
