Before installation

  • switched to discrete graphics (Intel 4500MHD) in the BIOS. I did't want to mess with the ATI card because of the driver issues.

Installation

Used an (amd64) USB image (hd-media) and the Lenny RC1 netinstall ISO. Installation worked flawlessly, the Gigabit Ethernet adapter was detected and configured. Installed without X, switched to sid in sources.list and then went for X and Gnome.

I installation I compiled a vanilla 2.6.28 that I'm currently running.

Working

Pretty much out of the box with the 2.6.28 kernel:

  • Gigabit Ethernet (e1000 module)
  • 5300AGN wireless (iwlagn) with CRDA userspace regulation
  • Intel graphics, X driver from sid repository
  • suspend to ram (echo mem > /sys/power/state OR Fn+F4)
  • sound (HDA) + volume control buttons
  • Bluetooth
  • webcam (UVC driver, tested with guvcview)
  • card reader

HDAPS

The source package in the sid repository for tp_smapi is a bit outdated, so I compiled and installed using the tarball for SourceForge.

In order to get hdaps-gl working properly:

  • created /etc/modprobe.d/hdaps , containing:
options thinkpad_ec force_io=1
options hdaps invert=1
  • added to /etc/modules the following line:
hdaps
  • created /etc/udev/rules.d/51-hdaps.rules , containing:
KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", ATTRS{phys}=="hdaps/input1",ATTRS{modalias}=="input:b0019v1014p5054e4801-*",SYMLINK+="input/hdaps/accelerometer-event
  • installed hdaps-utils

Hard drive making hdapsd useless

Alhough hdaps-gl shows the correct position of the laptop and 2.6.28 has built-in support for head parking, hdaspd is useless because the hard drive lacks the unloading feature. There is no unload_heads exposed in /sys/block/sda/device/ !

I modified the ata_id_has_unload() to prin both ata_id_major_version and the ATA_ID_CFSSE word (Command Feature/Set Supported Extension). Here's what i get: 

[    4.028454] ata: major version 7 id CFSSE 16384

16284 is 4000 in hex. According to the ATA 7 spec, the 13th bit should be 1 if the drive supports IDLE IMEDIATE with UNLOAD FEATURE.


Not working

  • mute button

Not tested

  • DisplayPort
