T500

Model specifics

Model 2242 with

  • P8400
  • Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD
  • WSXGA+ display
  • 8G RAM
  • 250G 5400rpm hard disk
  • Serial Ultrabay Slim DVD Multi III Drive (8x Dual Layer)
  • Intel WiFi Link 5100/5300 WLAN controller
  • ExpressCard/54 slot
  • Bluetooth
  • OpenSUSE 11.1 x86_64
  • KDE

Observations out of the box

  • Audio, video, networking (wired and wireless) work fine.
  • Volume up and down work; mute doesn't.
  • Kaffeine/xine seem to have trouble with DVDs (encrypted or corrupt DVD messags). Packman and videolan are in the repositories list, before the stock openSUSE.org repositories...
  • Thinklight control works.
  • WLAN/BT/OFF toggle (Fn+F5 and mechanical switch) works.
  • Power management (suspend and hibernate) works when initiated from the KDE applet.
