Thinkpad Hardware Maintenance Manual

Installing Fedora Core 5

• Getting suspend and resume to work: (2006.04.20)
  • Check BIOS setting: Power On; Press F1 to enter BIOS settings. Check that the value for Config -> Power -> "Allow suspend mode on legacy OS" is: Enabled
  • If on resume the video is not restored, edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, find the section "Module" and comment out the line that says load "DRI" by putting a hash mark # at the beginning of the line:

# load "DRI"

It is possible to get suspend working with DRI; I hope to soon provide a working dual head xorg.conf that allows resume from suspend.

• Installation: after reboot, one setting is a choice for default PCM device. The two options are:

Intel ICH - Intel ICH6 Intel ICH - IEC958

I have no idea which to choose, and don't know if the choice is one that can easily be changed later. I will choose the first and hope for the best.
