Model
Lenovo Thinkpad T410s 2912-W1C, BIOS 6UET36WW (1.14), ECP 6UHT28WW (1.09)
General
This installation instruction describes these parts that do not or do not completely work after my OpenSUSE 11.3 RC 2 DVD installation using KDE 4 as window manager.
Graphics
Samsung SyncMaster 225bw (1680x1050) is unuseable when connected via DVI, probably due to an EDID-related bug (see the corresponding bug report). Other displays are probably not affected, but feedback is lacking. Please edit this paragraph if you have an 1680x1050 display working flawlessly via DVI on a T410s.
Network
Wireless LAN
The Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 adapter works out of the box. Note that your T410s might come with another adapter installed, so your mileage may vary.
Wireless WAN
The optional Wireless WAN (WWAN) adapter Qualcomm Gobi 2000 does not work out of the box. First, the current (2.6.34) qcserial kernel driver module does not support the 2000 version of the Qualcomm Gobi. Second, the application that uploads the firmware to the WWAN device is broken since kernel 2.6.32 [1]. Thus, you need kernel 2.6.35 or to backport the related patches manually [2].
TouchPad
The TouchPad is configured by the KDE system settings, e.g., the mouse clicks triggered by tapping. However, for enabling two-finger scrolling, some XInput properties must be set:
xinput set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Two-Finger Scrolling" 1 0 xinput set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Two-Finger Pressure" 30
TrackPoint
The TrackPoint can be used to perform scrolling, similar to Windows, by holding down the middle button and moving the TrackPoint. Horizontal scrolling is now enabled by default. The Opera browser moves forward and backward in its history instead, see here to fix it or disable horizontal scrolling completely by:
xinput set-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation Axes" 8 -1 -1 4 5
Integrated Fingerprint Reader
The Integrated Fingerprint Reader is a UPEK TouchStrip (USB ID 147e:2016). The release of libfprint that ships with openSUSE 11.3 does NOT support that device. A device with the same ID is listed as being supported on the fprint wiki. Rumor has it that the development version of libfprint (v. 0.1.0_pre2) supports the reader, but a naive build from source of this lib failed to read fingerprints from the sensor.
More information is in the corresponding bug in openSUSE's bugzilla, and on the fprint wiki.
