This page gives an overview of the ThinkPad W500.

I was unable to get a clean install with a default ThinkPad W500 configuration and a 32 bit Ubuntu 8.10 downloaded ISO burned to CD. I referenced [http://tennessee.ubuntuforums.com/showpost.php?s=a372ee2edc2015c55dfa88a062461249&p=6093814&postcount=4 this post] from the ubuntu forums which allowed me to complete the Ubuntu installation.

Go into BIOS and change your display settings to:
 
−
 
 
−
* Default Primary Video Device = PCI Express
 
−
* Boot Display Device = ThinPad LCD
 
−
* Graphics Device = Discrete Graphics
 
−
* OS Detection for Switchable Graphics = Disabled
 
−
 
 
−
The W500 has switchable graphics and Ubuntu is unable to determine which graphics card to use without these BIOS settings to point the way.

** My wireless did not work out of the box with a 64-bit 8.10 installation. I had to deactivate the default driver (by going to ''System->Administration->Hardware drivers'' and deactivating ''Support for Atheros 802.11 wireless cards''). Then, it was only a matter of grabbing the madwifi sources, doing ''make'', ''sudo make install'' and ''sudo modprobe ath_pci''. Also, don't forget to place the ath_pci module on ''/etc/modules'' so it gets loaded everytime you boot up. -[[User:Compassnico|Compassnico]]

* Skype: Isn't working. I believe its a microphone issue.

**The regular Skype build did not work at all (neither sound input nor output) for me, but I installed the ''skype-static-oss'' package from the ''medibuntu'' repository and now everything works, although my mic's volume is a bit low. -[[User:Compassnico|Compassnico]]
