Installing Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope (9.04) on an X301
Please improve on this preliminary effort.
Contents
Overview
Installation was done with a fresh Ubuntu 9.04 (x86, 32 bit).
Keyboard
pretty much all of the fn+... keys work (not all tested yet) tested: lock screen, brightness, sleep, hibernation, battery status, thinklight
Ethernet
Works out of the box.
Wireless
Works out of the box.
Fan
It is spinning lightly (2000-5000 rpm) almost all the time, rather the same situation as on Windows XP. To get the X301 silent and cool, ThinkPad Fan Control may be a solution. However, a X301 fan profile is still missing. (Perhaps someone might provide a profile?)
Power Mgmt
Seems to work fine - not fully tested yet.
Display
Works fine :-)
Suspend and Hibernate
not tested yet.
Sound
Works out of the box .
Untested remain:
- usage with a sound server (esd)
- microphone
- headphone
Camera
not tested yet.
External Displays
not tested yet.
Compiz / 3D Acceleration
not tested yet.
Boot time
not measured yet.
Fingerprint Reader
Doesn't currently work as it's an AthenTec and not a Thompson chip. Linux driver is missing. Any news here?
