* Suspend won't work out of the box on the i7 model because the USB3 driver shipped with 10.10 doesn't support suspend, and so blocks it. The fix is to [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/522998 blacklist the driver], but this means your USB3 port won't work. To blacklist, create a file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-xhci_hcd.conf containing only the text "blacklist xhci_hcd" (note underscore). Then suspend will work. There may also be a fix which unloads the module before suspend and reloads it after; if you have got this working, update the wiki.

[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/408903 Seems like this has been a problem since the first Thinkpad came out with one, a couple of years ago]. It produces keycode 248 in xev, so I guess that needs translating into a keysym and then binding to mute. One for the thinkpad_acpi team? The program "amixer" can change microphone levels and the Gnome Keyboard Settings can bind an arbitrary command to a key, so it just takes someone with a little more time than me to write a script and put the pieces together to make the button work (even if not the LED).

Notes

  • The CPU speed will be throttled back to 800MHz if the machine is run on the 65W AC adapter with no battery installed. To avoid this throttling
    • run on a 90W AC adapter, or
    • install a battery pack.
  • It's possible to use a mSATA SSD within the second MiniPCI Express slot.
  • On booting:
    • The X220 cannot/will not boot GPT disks using Legacy BIOS, you must setup UEFI.
    • The X220 will not boot /efi/*/*.efi unless "signed"(?) into BIOS, you have to copy it to /efi/boot/bootx64.efi.
    • Disabling the BIOS setting "USB UEFI BIOS Support" disables *all* USB booting, ie, both UEFI and legacy BIOS.
  • Maximum DDR3 speed depends on the BIOS version. BIOS versions up to 1.28 allow RAM speeds up to 1866MHz. BIOS versions 1.29 and above limit RAM to 1333MHz. Modified versions of BIOS available that remove this limitation.
  • The combined headphone/microphone jack is a 4-pin TRRS connector and is wired as per CTIA/AHJ standard (tip - left, ring1 - right, ring2 - ground, sleeve - mic). Which means, it is compatible with most modern cellphone headsets (including Apple); however, it is not compatible with older Nokia and Samsung headsets wired as OMTP.
