Model
8919-6VG
Graphics: NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M
Use the driver from the NVIDIA package repository. [1]
However, brightness cannot be changed while X is displayed.
Sound: AD1984
Install a recent alsa version from the additional Packman YaST package repository. [2] [3] Furthermore, use the alsa mixer workaround skript from, e.g., Installation of Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) Tribe on a ThinkPad R61.
WiFi: Intel 4965AGN
Use ndiswrapper and the NETw4x32.INF driver of the XP Professional zip archive available from Intel [4]. [5]
TouchPad
The Synaptics TouchPad driver for X version distributed with openSUSE 10.2 (x11-input-synaptics-0.14.6-24) does not work. Thus, there are no advandced features like scrolling available.
Trackpoint
The Trackpoint can be used to perform scrolling, similar to Windows. Just add the following options to the "InputDevice" section of the X.org configuration:
Option "EmulateWheel" "On"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
Power Management
Neither suspend to RAM (s2ram) nor suspend to disk (s2disk) work out of the box. Both fail to restore the display. Following [6], s2ram -f -p -m and s2ram -f -p -s work within minimal environment. Unfortunately, in a normal environment, there will be a lot of ACPI errors in the log on resume.
Blacklisting the agpgart kernel module according [7] does not work, it still gets loaded on boot.
