On this page experiences, tips, and tricks how to get most out of a Lenovo T400s are collected. Everyone is invited to share his part. Feedback is very welcome. No warranty that any of the information on this page may harm your hard- or software is given.
Intro
I started to write up this page as of 2009-08-12. It is work in progress. The "template" was taken from Ubuntu 9.04 on a T400. The good news is: Nearly everything works out of the box on [[ http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/910features | Karmic ]], 10.04, and 10.10. Where are the good old times it took you a couple of nights to get a new box up and running? ;)
Before Installation
Backup your data. Maybe dd the rescue partition.
BIOS Upgrade

- In between Linux kernel 2.6.34 and 2.6.35 commit id 7b2bfdb has broken the internal mic and the head phones jack. Up to Ubuntu 10.04 that is not a problem. Later load snd-hda-intel model="thinkpad". You can create a file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-intel.conf with the line
options snd-hda-intel model="thinkpad"
in it.
Please feel free to edit this page. If you have trouble, comments, etc. please contact me.
Stay tuned, more to come.
