Tested and Verified on Fedora 7

Information in this section has been tested and verified using Fedora 7.

Installation

Installation is straight forward; you can use the generic install instructions here.

Configuration

X Server

Basic X server functionality should work out of the box.

Desktop Effects

'Desktop Effects' cause screen corruption when enabled.

Wireless Network

If you have the Intel wireless, it should work out of the box. But with the Atheros card you need the closed source Madwifi.

tpb/on-screen display

tpb, which controls the onscreen display of thinkpad buttons, is not installed by default.

To install tpb execute: 

# yum install tpb

Once installed, just restart the X server. No further configuration is necessary.

Untested on Fedora 7
