This article describes the installation of Ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit) on a Thinkpad T410 type 2537-9UG (NVIDIA NVS 3100M). This guide assumes that NVIDIA Optimus is disabled in BIOS (Graphics set to "discrete")!

The remaining devices are currently not tested.
Display brightness with NVIDIA
Use the following parameter in the "Device"-section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"
HDAPS (Hard Drive Active Protection System)
You need the ThinkPad SMAPI and the hdaps-daemon, install them by following command:
sudo apt-get install tp-smapi-dkms hdapsd
Edit /etc/default/hdapsd with root privileges:
START=yes # hdaps should be started automatically DISK=sda # normally sda should fit SENSITIVITY=15 # higher values mean lesser sensitivity FORCEENABLE="no" # force hdaps, not needed OPTIONS="" # additional options, not needed
Restart the daemon:
sudo /etc/init.d/hdapsd restart
Testing (stop daemon and start in foreground):
sudo /etc/init.d/hdapsd stop
sudo hdapsd -d sda -s 15
Output should look like:
sven@T410:~$ sudo hdapsd -d sda -s 15 Tue Nov 15 13:25:25 2011: Starting hdapsd Tue Nov 15 13:25:25 2011: Selected interface: HDAPS Tue Nov 15 13:25:25 2011: Selected HDAPS input device: /dev/input/event9 Tue Nov 15 13:25:28 2011: parking Tue Nov 15 13:25:29 2011: un-parking
If test was succesful start daemon again:
sudo /etc/init.d/hdapsd start
