=== ATI Mobility Radeon X300 ===<br />
This is a ATI video adapter<br />
=== Features ===<br />
* Chipset: ATI M22<br />
* PCI ID: 1002:5460<br />
* PCI Express x16<br />
* 32 or 64MB GDDR1 on-chip video memory<br />
* "HyperMemory": can use system memory for graphics processing<br />
* "PowerPlay 4.0" technology for dynamic engine cloc, memory clock and core voltage, refresh rate reduction and thermal status reporting.<br />
</div><br />
|style="vertical-align:top" |<br />
|}<br />
<br />
See [http://www.ati.com/products/radeonx300/specs.html specifications] from ATI, as well as the [http://www.ati.com/products/embedded/mobilityradeonx300/M22-CSP64_Product_Snapshot.pdf "snapshot" data sheet] (referes to the 32MB on-chip, 128MB "HyperMemory" version).<br />
<br />
=== Linux driver ===<br />
Use Driver "radeon" in the xorg.conf file - it works at least for xorg 6.8.2, maybe older versions too. Currently (as of xorg 6.8.2) this will only give you 2D-acceleration, though. To enbable 3D acceleration as well you need to use the binary ATI driver [[fglrx]].<br />
<br />
There is also an open source Radeon [http://r300.sf.net/ driver] with 3D acceleration support (merged into [http://dri.freedesktop.org here] recently), but it's still highly experimental and does not support all features.<br />
<br />
==== ThinkPad LCD ====<br />
Display on the internal LCD works as long as you set the monitor settings correct.<br />
<br />
==== External VGA port ====<br />
There are known problems. The driver from ATI turns off the switching between internal and external port.<br />
<br />
To make switching with, use the "vesa" driver built into X.org instead of the ATI or "radeon" drivers. This loses acceleration and some capabilities.<br />
<br />
Alternatively, start X without an external monitor, and then connect the external monitor. Both displays will be active, and cannot be switched off until you exit X. Note that if the external monitor is connected when X starts, the LCD will be deactivated and you will need to restart X. To have a reasonable refresh rate on the external monitor (the default is the LCD's 50Hz), use the following in {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}}:<br />
<br />
Section "Device"<br />
Identifier "Videocard0"<br />
VendorName "Videocard vendor"<br />
BoardName "ATI Radeon Mobility X300"<br />
<br />
Driver "radeon"<br />
Option "DynamicClocks" "on"<br />
<br />
Option "MergedFB" "on"<br />
Option "CRT2Hsync" "50-75"<br />
Option "CRT2VRefresh" "30-82"<br />
EndSection<br />
<br />
(Tested wth Fedora Core 4 on ThinkPad T43).<br />
<br />
See also the related discussion about [[Additional options for the radeon driver]].<br />
<br />
==== S-Video port (TV-out) ====<br />
Linux support status is unknown.<br />
<br />
There is some generic advise [http://odin.prohosting.com/wedge01/gentoo-radeon-faq.html#4_tvout here] about making it work using the proprietary [[Fglrx]] driver.<br />
<br />
==== DVI port ====<br />
??<br />
<br />
=== Proprietary ATI driver ===<br />
The [[fglrx]] driver adds 3D acceleration.<br />
<br />
=== Linux kernel Framebuffer driver ===<br />
<br />
radeonfb might cause problems with hardware acceleration under X on some systems, vesafb and vesafb-tng on the other hand has been reported to work just fine.<br />
<br />
=== Clock rates, voltage and power===<br />

<br />
<br />
Experimentally, the difference between the Performance and Battery settings under Linux with <tt>DynamicClocks</tt> enabled is roughly 0.3W and 3-4 degrees in GPU temperature on a ThinkPad {{T43}}. Further frequency reduction leads to display flickering or corruption.<br />
<br />
Clock rates can be changed through [[Rovclock]], and are also affected by the [[How to make use of Graphics Chips Power Management features|<tt>DynamicClocks</tt> option to the <tt>radeon</tt> driver]].<br />

----<br />
I added to wikipedia-like templates. To edit them go to Template:ThinkWiki_Preamble and Template:ThinkWiki_News.<br />
Shall we put the other parts of the page in templates, too? If we do so, we could have that nice block design from wikipedia on our mainpage.<br />
<br />
--[[User:Akw|akw]] 11:37, 25 Sep 2004 (CEST)<br />
<br />
----<br />
I think this is too much color. Makes it less readable, takes longer to orientate than the plain list style layout.<br />
<br />
Liked it with only the two blocks in the beginning.<br />
<br />
If we want to use blocks for everything, please stick to fewer colors. I think the yellow of the first block is not bad, and else i'd suggest light grey, maybe light blue.<br />
<br />
However, if we stick to having all in blocks, how about [[User:Wyrfel/mainlayouttest | this color scheme]]?<br />
<br />
[[User:Wyrfel|Wyrfel]] 16:35, 25 Sep 2004 (CEST)<br />

----<br />
Made [[User:Wyrfel/mainlayouttest-LTP | another Mainpage layout sketch]]. This tries to resemble the Tux and IBM logo colors and therefor looks quite "fresh".<br />

== Needed: older ThinkPad specs... ==<br />
<br />
As you can tell by my userid here, I've got a 600E. There are a whole lot of them out there thanks to the fact it was the current model during the Dot-Com era. We should cover the older ThinkPads and their quirks as well as the later models. <br />
<br />
I also had a 365X, which is now living with a friend in the UK.<br />
<br />
Yes, the next ThinkPad I'll probably score is a T4x, they are really kewl machines and inspire technolust in this geek. But until then, I love my 600E and I'm looking forward to some upgrades this weekend. <br />
<br />
I will make copious notes on the upgrade process, which will include the installation of a 40GB hard drive and using the stock 10GB drive as extra Windows storage space. I have a hard drive bay module so the stock drive can be reused. The vast majority of the HD will be given over to an install of Debian Linux, with a 7GB Windows 2K partition because the University I will be attending a year from now demands it. (Yeah, I know, sucks, doesn't it.)<br />
<br />
ThinkPad different,<br />
Michelle<br />
<br />
----<br />
I totally agree.<br />
<br />
All specs of all models can be found on the IBM support pages, we just need volunteers to transfer the infos into internal pages.<br />
<br />
Since this is not the most interesting thing to do and hence it would be best if people using older ThinkPads transfer the specs for their models themselves. The same goes for other articles as installation infos, problems or whatever. I had a 570 once and loved it even though T30s where available at the same time...and i'd like to see more about these machines here, which everyone of them had some special characteristics and ideas behind them. So please show up, proud owners of Thinkpad 730TEs. 701s, 360Ps, Transnotes etc. ... ! ;)<br />
<br />
Owners of the newer machines should take care of writing their articles (especially when creating new pages or sections) in a way that they are open for older models as well...i.e. make clear in the page or section title that its a specific topic for newer models.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Hei Arno,<br />
<br />
i tried to do some stuff with templates, but it seems like templates in this version of MediaWiki are lacking some features and also seem a bit buggy (or i want too much). Is it troublesome to update to 1.4rc1? Shell we wait for the stable?<br />
[[User:Wyrfel|Wyrfel]] 01:09, 14 Mar 2005 (CET)<br />

<br />
=== Updates todo ===<br />
<br />
== MediaWiki Update ==<br />
<br />
I updated the thinkwiki software to version mediawiki 1.4.4. I hope this update will not be too painful.<br />
There is still a problem with URL rewriting, so I had to deactivate the .htaccess file. Because of this, we got this ugly URLS with this '''index.php''' before the entry. The problem seems to be with the wiki config file '''LocalSettings.php''' and/or the '''.htaccess''' file.<br />
I hope I get it fixed soon.<br />

== Thinkpad and Apple Cinema 20' ==<br />
<br />
I have a thinkpad R50. I have det required docking station with DVI.<br />
If i try to boot my computer from the docking station nothing happends - it seems that it freezes up.<br />
The only way i can get the monitor to work is:<br />
1. boot the computer disconnected from the docking.<br />
2. when the computer has booted i place it on the docking station. Then i works!!!<br />
<br />
Do you know how to solve the problem. <br />
<br />
Hope to hear from you.<br />

Try changing the bootup display settings in the BIOS. Are you talking about Linux or Windows?<br />

This is a bit hard to accomplish. Remember that ThinkWiki is a site with international scope. What makes sense (in my opinion) is a page that has some notes and hints about what to care for, what are weak parts etc. . But it wouldn't make much sense to create a list of sites where to get them. Or maybe that's just what you meant. ;-) I'll look into creating some infrastructure for that on occasion.<br />

== This is a great general resource for ANY Thinkpad user ==<br />
<br />
The promoted Linux-centricity is a minus, IMO. Regardless of the density of Linux content currently extant, the Linux focus seems exclusionary and probably drives away a lot of thinkpad users with useful content to add.<br />
<br />
----<br />
IBM probably has the best support website in the industry (albeit somewhat difficult to navigate), therefore ANY ThinkPad user may find general information there. The good thing about ThinkWiki is that it caters to a specific need, namely the (often difficult) task of installing the linux operating system on ThinkPad notebooks.<br />
--[[User:MJK|MJK]] 14:54, 14 Sep 2005 (CEST)<br />
<br />
----<br />
I have to agree with MJK. ThinkWikis clear focus is Linux on ThinkPads. IBM provides pretty good support for Windows users, i.e. it wouldn't make sense to double driver listings and such here, since what IBM provides in this area is sufficient. What we can do, however, and what we are already doing here, is to provide additional information for Windows users as well. That's why we introduced Windows as one of our listed distributions and that's also why you find Windows related information scattered around the place. Linux users are searching Windows related ThinkPad sites for information that might be useful for their Linux installations. Let Windows users do the same the other way around. I'll add a little hint to the main page, but we won't change the primary focus. At least not now.<br />

Ok, did some of it. There are Stub, Todo and Fixme templates now. Also, pages tagged with these templates will be categorized in [[:Category:NeedsEditing]].

There are ThinkPad Forums already, i.e. look at the [[Links]] page.<br />

Moreover, there's the linux-thinkpad [[Mailinglists|mailinglist]] that serves this purpose. ThinkWiki's role is rather to complement that mailing list with a more static way of gathering information and to be found more easily.<br />

I think this is too much color. Makes it less readable, takes longer to orientate than the plain list style layout.<br />
<br />
Liked it with only the two blocks in the beginning.<br />
<br />
If we want to use blocks for everything, please stick to fewer colors. I think the yellow of the first block is not bad, and else i'd suggest light grey, maybe light blue.<br />
<br />
However, if we stick to having all in blocks, how about [[User:Wyrfel/mainlayouttest | this color scheme]]?<br />

== Needed: older ThinkPad specs... ==<br />
<br />
As you can tell by my userid here, I've got a 600E. There are a whole lot of them out there thanks to the fact it was the current model during the Dot-Com era. We should cover the older ThinkPads and their quirks as well as the later models. <br />
<br />
I also had a 365X, which is now living with a friend in the UK.<br />
<br />
Yes, the next ThinkPad I'll probably score is a T4x, they are really kewl machines and inspire technolust in this geek. But until then, I love my 600E and I'm looking forward to some upgrades this weekend. <br />
<br />
I will make copious notes on the upgrade process, which will include the installation of a 40GB hard drive and using the stock 10GB drive as extra Windows storage space. I have a hard drive bay module so the stock drive can be reused. The vast majority of the HD will be given over to an install of Debian Linux, with a 7GB Windows 2K partition because the University I will be attending a year from now demands it. (Yeah, I know, sucks, doesn't it.)<br />
<br />
ThinkPad different,<br />
Michelle<br />
<br />
----<br />
I totally agree.<br />
<br />
All specs of all models can be found on the IBM support pages, we just need volunteers to transfer the infos into internal pages.<br />
<br />
Since this is not the most interesting thing to do and hence it would be best if people using older ThinkPads transfer the specs for their models themselves. The same goes for other articles as installation infos, problems or whatever. I had a 570 once and loved it even though T30s where available at the same time...and i'd like to see more about these machines here, which everyone of them had some special characteristics and ideas behind them. So please show up, proud owners of Thinkpad 730TEs. 701s, 360Ps, Transnotes etc. ... ! ;)<br />
<br />
Owners of the newer machines should take care of writing their articles (especially when creating new pages or sections) in a way that they are open for older models as well...i.e. make clear in the page or section title that its a specific topic for newer models.<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Image:BSD-daemon.png|150px|right|thumb|The BSD Mascot]]<br />
<br />
'''FreeBSD''' is a free, open source, Unix-like operating system descended from AT&T UNIX via the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) branch through 386BSD and 4.4BSD. It runs on processors compatible with the Intel x86 family, as well as on the DEC Alpha, the UltraSPARC processors by Sun Microsystems, the Itanium (IA-64) and AMD64 processors. Support for the ARM architecture, MIPS and PowerPC architectures are currently in development.<br />
<br />
==History and development==<br />
<br />
Initial development of FreeBSD was started in 1993, and took its sources from 386BSD. However, due to concerns about the legality of all the sources used in 386BSD, FreeBSD re-engineered much of the system with the FreeBSD 2.0 release in January of 1995 using the 4.4BSD-Lite release from the University of California, Berkeley. The FreeBSD Handbook includes more historical information about the genesis of FreeBSD.<br />
<br />
==Linux Compatibility==<br />
<br />
FreeBSD provides binary compatibility with several other UNIX-like operating systems, including Linux. The reasoning behind this is generally attributed to being able to run applications developed for Linux, often commercial, that are only distributed in binary form and thus cannot be ported to FreeBSD without the will of those who control the source code.<br />
<br />
In a nutshell, it allows FreeBSD users to run a majority of the applications that are only distributed as Linux binaries. When compared to the vast number of native applications available for FreeBSD using the Ports Collection, these applications are in the minority. Applications used under the Linux compatibility layer include StarOffice, the Linux version of Netscape, Adobe Acrobat, RealPlayer, VMware, Oracle, WordPerfect, Skype, Doom 3, the Unreal Tournament series, and so on. It is also reported that in some situations, Linux binaries perform better on FreeBSD than they do under Linux.<br />
<br />
Though there are many applications that run flawlessly under the compatibility layer, it should be noted that the layer is not complete, thus rendering some Linux binaries unusable on FreeBSD or limiting their functionality. One example of this is Cedega, TransGaming's product to run Microsoft Windows games on Linux. Its usage is largely crippled at this time due to an incomplete compatibility layer. There has, however, been limited success in using it to run games on FreeBSD.<br />
<br />
==License==<br />
<br />
As with its sister operating systems, OpenBSD, NetBSD and DragonFlyBSD, the code in FreeBSD is released under the terms of a variety of licenses. Most newly created code is released under the terms of the three-clause BSD License, which allows everyone to use and redistribute FreeBSD as they wish, as long as they do not remove the copyright notice and the BSD license itself. This does not prohibit re-distribution under another license. There are also parts under the GPL, LGPL, ISC and the four-clause BSD license.<br />

<div>[[Image:BSD-daemon.png|150px|right|thumb|The BSD Mascot]]<br />
<br />
'''FreeBSD''' is a free, open source, Unix-like operating system descended from AT&T UNIX via the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) branch through 386BSD and 4.4BSD. It runs on processors compatible with the Intel x86 family, as well as on the DEC Alpha, the UltraSPARC processors by Sun Microsystems, the Itanium (IA-64) and AMD64 processors. Support for the ARM architecture, MIPS and PowerPC architectures are currently in development.<br />
<br />
==History and development==<br />
<br />
Initial development of FreeBSD was started in 1993, and took its sources from 386BSD. However, due to concerns about the legality of all the sources used in 386BSD, FreeBSD re-engineered much of the system with the FreeBSD 2.0 release in January of 1995 using the 4.4BSD-Lite release from the University of California, Berkeley. The FreeBSD Handbook includes more historical information about the genesis of FreeBSD.<br />
<br />
==Linux Compatibility==<br />
<br />
FreeBSD provides binary compatibility with several other UNIX-like operating systems, including Linux. The reasoning behind this is generally attributed to being able to run applications developed for Linux, often commercial, that are only distributed in binary form and thus cannot be ported to FreeBSD without the will of those who control the source code.<br />
<br />
In a nutshell, it allows FreeBSD users to run a majority of the applications that are only distributed as Linux binaries. When compared to the vast number of native applications available for FreeBSD using the Ports Collection, these applications are in the minority. Applications used under the Linux compatibility layer include StarOffice, the Linux version of Netscape, Adobe Acrobat, RealPlayer, VMware, Oracle, WordPerfect, Skype, Doom 3, the Unreal Tournament series, and so on. It is also reported that in some situations, Linux binaries perform better on FreeBSD than they do under Linux.<br />
<br />
Though there are many applications that run flawlessly under the compatibility layer, it should be noted that the layer is not complete, thus rendering some Linux binaries unusable on FreeBSD or limiting their functionality. One example of this is Cedega, TransGaming's product to run Microsoft Windows games on Linux. Its usage is largely crippled at this time due to an incomplete compatibility layer. There has, however, been limited success in using it to run games on FreeBSD.<br />
<br />
==License==<br />
<br />
As with its sister operating systems, OpenBSD, NetBSD and DragonFlyBSD, the code in FreeBSD is released under the terms of a variety of licenses. Most newly created code is released under the terms of the three-clause BSD License, which allows everyone to use and redistribute FreeBSD as they wish, as long as they do not remove the copyright notice and the BSD license itself. This does not prohibit re-distribution under another license. There are also parts under the GPL, LGPL, ISC and the four-clause BSD license.</div>DuffDudeX1https://www.thinkwiki.org/w/index.php?title=FreeBSD&diff=11432FreeBSD2005-10-30T15:43:26Z<p>DuffDudeX1: </p>

=== What is Windows ===<br />
<br />
Microsoft Windows is a range of operating systems for both home PCs and servers. The first public release of Windows was introduced by Microsoft in 1985 as an add-on to MS-DOS. Microsoft Windows eventually came to dominate the world personal computer market with a market share of approximately 90% for desktop PCs in both home and business environments. All recent versions of Windows are full-fledged operating systems, which do not run on top of DOS.<br />
<br />
Windows was developed for IBM PC-compatible computers (these were based on Intel x86 architecture), and today, almost all versions of Windows are made for this hardware-platform (although Windows NT was written as a cross-platform system for Intel and MIPS processors, and later appeared on the PowerPC and DEC Alpha architectures).<br />
