ThinkPad W510

Standard Features

Linux Installation

As of 2010-02-14 the following problems exist with the W510 under Linux:

  • Suspend not implemented yet in USB 3.0 (xhci) driver - system cannot suspend unless driver is unloaded first
  • nVidia FX 880M with any current release driver will show a "fuzzy screen" after a console switch or logout/login - fixed in 195.36.03 beta
  • Resume results in corrupted display objects with kernel < 2.6.33 and/or driver less than 195.36.03
  • System can only resume from sleep once - acpi related kernel crash occurs on resume (but system continues to operate), next resume shows BIOS screen and hangs
  • Audio intermittent
  • No support for display brightness controls when using binary video driver
  • Wired networking stuck at 10Mbit without manual change using ethtool

Workarounds:

  • On Ubuntu Karmic, Wireless can be enabled by installing linux-backport-modules-karmic. This adds missing firmware for 6000-series cards.
  • All Versions: System cannot suspend unless SUSPEND_MODULES="xhci" is added to /etc/pm/config.d/unload_modules (may need to create this file) Note that this does not resolve the "crash on second resume" problem.
