Bluetooth Antenna?
Any idea how the Bluetooth BMDC antenna looks like, how large it is, or if it is posible to install it into an X31 without Bluetooth card or Logo on the panel? Epic
ACPI and CF Cards
If you have a CF Card (mounted or unmounted) in the CF slot, it might happen, that ACPI Suspend/Hibernate modes don't work. This happened to me with an old 4 MB CF-Card, I'll try with something more recent sometime. Couldn't find anything useful about that in syslog.
Installation Report
Today, I installed a GNU/Linux Debian system on my X31 - without any external USB devices. This is what I did instead:
- Boot up my regular PC with Knoppix 3.8 (including Knoppix Terminal Server)
- Start terminal server. In settings, uncheck "security" to enable root access on clients!
- Link X31 to PC's network interface (either directly using a crossed cable or with normal patch cables using a switch).
- Boot up X31 (the odd boot device name stands for ethernet).
- Start knx2hd (Knoppix Menu) and install to your liking.
Note: With qtparted you even can shrink existing NTFS partitions if you dare (no guarantees), be aware that this may take some 20 minutes.
All hardware was correctly detected (sound, cisco wlan, energy savings), just hibernation lacks the suspend2 patch in kernel. Suspend to RAM works, however.
Hei,
great, thanks for the info. It would be nice if you could turn this into an Installation page with the title "Installing Knoppix on a ThinkPad X31". Wyrfel 20:34, 28 May 2005 (CEST)
