Before Installation
Before you can start Ubuntu from CD or USB you have to change two BIOS settings:
- Change to Internal or ATI Graphics with Config --> Display --> Graphics Device --> [Integrated graphics] or [Discrete Graphics]
- Disable OS Detection for Switchable Graphics. Otherwise it will mysteriously switch back to Switchable Graphics.
Now you can boot you Live-CD, connect to Wireless Lan, and install the OS.
What works out of the box?
- Wireless (Intel 5300 ABGN)
- Only tested G mode yet
- Gigabit Lan
- Touchpoint and Trackpad
- Including scroll at the right side of the pad by default.
- Optical drive
- Not tested burning yet
- Sound card
- To use your internal microphone you have to change to HDA Intel CONEXANT Analog (ALSA) in audio-settings.
- SD/MMC Memory card reader (Ricoh)
- Only tested SD cards.
- Control buttons/Hotkeys
- Volume control buttons
- Screen brightness control (but changing Brightness is a little bit diffuse. It's getting brighter but on maximum it changes to nearly lowest and get brighter again.)
- Thinklight control
- WLAN/BT/OFF toggle (Fn+F5 and mechanical toogle)
- Media player control
- Some ACPI features
- Battery status, power graphs and history (tested with an single 6-Cell battery)
- Lid states and events
What needs some Tweaks?
What doesn't work at the moment?
Switchable Graphics
Suspend/Hibernate
Integrated Fingerprint Reader
Theres a new chipset build in, the "AuthenTec AES2810". So neither the thinkfinger nor the fprint Project support this Device at the moment.
