Before the installation

I switched to "discrete graphics" (Intel 4500MHD) in the BIOS. I didn't want to use with the ATI card because of the driver issues. After the installation, I reverted to "switchable graphics" and it works well.

Installation

I used an (amd64) USB image (hd-media) and the Lenny RC1 netinstall ISO. The install sequence went flawlessly. The Gigabit Ethernet adapter was detected and configured. I installed without X, switched to sid in sources.list and then went for X and Gnome.

After installation I compiled a vanilla 2.6.28 that I'm currently running.

Working

More or less out of the box with the 2.6.28 kernel:

Gigabit Ethernet (e1000 module)
5300AGN wireless (iwlagn) with CRDA userspace regulation
Intel graphics, X driver from sid repository
suspend to ram (echo mem > /sys/power/state OR Fn+F4)
sound (HDA) + volume control buttons
Bluetooth
webcam (UVC driver, tested with guvcview)
card reader
watchdog timer (iTCO_wdt kernel module and the watchdog daemon)

HDAPS

The source package in the sid repository for tp_smapi is a bit outdated, so I compiled and installed using the tarball for SourceForge.

In order to get the OpenGL visualization utility (hdaps-gl) and the head parking daemon (hdapsd) working properly:

create /etc/modprobe.d/hdaps , containing:

options thinkpad_ec force_io=1
options hdaps invert=1

add the following line to /etc/modules:

hdaps

install hdapsd, which creates the required udev rule (/etc/udev/rules.d/z60_hdapsd.rules). I used the 1:0.0.20081004-1 version of the package, as it was required by the new sysfs interface in 2.6.28.
However, if you don't want hdapsd (i.e. just want accelerometer data with no head parking), you can create a rule containing:

KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", ATTRS{phys}=="hdaps/input1",ATTRS{modalias}=="input:b0019v1014p5054e4801-*",SYMLINK+="input/hdaps/accelerometer-event

install hdaps-utils

-is 4000 in hex. According to the ATA 7 spec, the 13th bit should be 1 if the drive supports "IDLE IMEDIATE with UNLOAD FEATURE". At this point it is quite clear that the drive lacks the feature.
-But, if the drive is unable to unload on request, how does the "ThinkVantage airbag" magic work on Windows ?
