Information on Tools helping you to get along with your ThinkPad.
Input
- tpb (ThinkPad buttons)
- tp-scroll (Use trackpoint and middle button to scroll vertically. You may also use the built-in EmulateWheel option in both XFree86 and XOrg.)
- configure-trackpoint (GUI TrackPoint configuration tool for the TrackPoint driver for 2.6 linux kernel)
- Linux Trackpoint Utilities (An earlier trackpoint configuration tool)
Graphics
- radeontool (Tool for enabling/disabling background light and external video)
- rovclock (Tool to under/overclock Radeon cards)
- s3switch (Tool to change the output devices and format for Savage cards)
- gsynaptics (Tool to control synaptics touchpad on some thinkpads)
- disper (Tool to switch displays quickly for Nvidia cards)
Power Management
- apmd (APM event daemon and tools)
- tpctl and configure-thinkpad (ThinkPad configuration programs that are compatible with APM)
- acpid (ACPI event daemon)
- acpitool (displays acpi information and can be used to set sleep mode)
- tphdisk (Tool to create a hibernation file, an alternative to the Software Suspend 2 kernel patch)
- laptop-mode-tools (laptop-mode configuration scripts)
- KThinkBat (KDE-Kicker applet to show the battery fuel state)
Networking
- ifplugd (Daemon to reconfigure your network settings on cable (un)plugging)
- waproamd (Daemon for Wireless roaming with automatic WEP key handling)
- Wpa_supplicant (waproamd's successor, can handle WPA)
- ifmetric (Tool to help set different route metrics for WLAN/cable connections, to be used in conjunction with ifplugd and waproamd)
Troubleshooting
Below are the Tools recommended / used by IBM service reps
- memtest86 for testing suspect memory
- Drive Fitness Test for testing suspected faulty hdd maintained and developed by Hitachi.
Movies
Installing / Adding / Removing Hardware from your thinkpad / Lenovo product?
