| A30 | 10.2 |  | | |  | |  | acpi alright, Irda working, Internal modem found, not sure if working. D-Link Wireless PCMCIA card found, but not working | ||
| A31p | 9.3 / 10.0 | | | | | | | Internal modem working, Irda working | ||
| R30 | 10.0 | | | | | | | Internal modem not working. Suspend buggy. Not checked external video connection. | ||
| R32 | 10.0 | | | | | | | |||
| R40 | SLED10 | | | | | | | |||
| R50e | 11/11.1 | | | | | |  Doesn't suspend.See Remark | R50e is not in the s2ram whitelist. It needs some extend search to check what s2ram options work fine. See: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=190481. Other powermanagement features works fine. | ||
| R51 | 10.0 | | | | | | | External video connection not working properly (OK in clone mode). Suspend-to-RAM consumes too much power under ACPI. | ||
| R51 | 10.1 | | | | | | | Try pushing the hardware buttons if sound is not working ;-) | ||
| R51 | 10.2 | | | | | | | Suspend-to-RAM needs config tweaks to get sensible power drain. | ||
| R52 | 10.1 | | | | | | | Video requires x-server download from ATI, see HOWTO. | ||
| R60 | 10.2 | | | | | | | Video Bios requires tweaking with 915resolution. | ||
| R61 | 10.2 / 10.3 | | >= alsa-1.0.14 AD1984HD | | Intel4965AGN with ndiswrapper | | see comments | When installing 10.3 choose 800x600 or 1024x768 (change to 1280x1024 later). For s2ram - 10.3: s2ram -f ;10.2: s2ram -f -a 2 Finger print reader did not work. | ||
| R61 | 11.0 | | | | | | see comments | SD Card reader | Use s2ram -f. Does not resume from s2disk with NVIDIA driver. Fingerprint reader does not work. See ThinkWiki for details. | |
| R61 | 11.1 | see comments | | | | | see comments | SD Card reader | After installation, you might have to change screen resolution to correct one with SaX. Current NVIDIA driver is buggy, logging out from X or quitting yields to black screen, use Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot cleanly or, as a workaround, change ServerTimeout to 45 in /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc. s2ram and s2disk work out of the box. Fingerprint reader does not work. See ThinkWiki for details. | |
| R61e | 11.0 & 11.1 | | | | | | see comments | Works Out of the Box. This a Intel Celron model - Vista Business pre-installed. Partitioned 160GB disc from Yast install/partitioner, resize and custom partitioned, placed Grub to MBR. Worked flawlessly. Wireless and Video all perfect. KDE3 and 4 both great. Need any advice - mail me: kernelcruncher@gmail.com | ||
| R61i | 11.0 & 11.1 | | | | | | | It's a budget model with intel graphics. Type 8943 | ||
| Thinkpad SL500 | 11.1 32-bit | | | | | | | Cardreader, webcam and even the Ericsson F3507g UMTS/GPS card work. I didn't try the 56k modem. | Model: NRJALGE. For bluetooth and basic hotkey fuctionality the lenovo-sl kernel module is required. Unfortunately most hotkeys don't work including the brightness keys. | |
| T20 | 11.1 | see comments | | | | | | Video card works with model "THINKPAD 1024X768 TFT LCD PANEL" configured with sax2, and with this following line altered: "Modeline "1024x768" 60.00 1024 1080 1184 1344 768 769 772 795" in Modes section in xorg.conf
Solution for hardisk failure after installation: http://forums.opensuse.org/hardware/laptop/404485-11-1-ibm-thinkpad-t20-disc-access-failure-solved.html | ||
| T21 | 10.2 | | | | | | | internal modem not working, thinkpad keys not functioning and PCMCIA cards can cause problems as I needed to add "exclude irq 3" in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts to avoid irq 3 conflict during install/boot with 16 bit cards | ||
| T22 | 9.3 / 10.0 final | | | | | | | internal modem does not work | ||
| T23 | 10.0 RC1 | | | | | |||||
| T30 | 10.0 / 11.0 RC1 | | | | | | | Desktop effects work great once you enable them in 11.0 RC1, other than being a little slow. | May lock up if Ultra Bay is hot-swaped without Thinkpad management. Had funny DHCP issues, would not resolve name server, but don't believe that's hardware based. | |
| T40 | 9.3 / 10.0 RC1 | | | | | | apm OK / acpi works, but consumes too much power in suspend2ram | |||
| T400 | 11.1 | | | | | | | 3G not supported out-of-the-box by NetworkManager | ||
| T41 | 9.3,10.0,10.1 | | | | | | apm OK / acpi works | |||
| T41 | 10.3 | | | | | | | |||
| T40p | 9.3,10.1 | | | | | | | |||
| T41p | 9.3/10.0/10.1/10.2 | | | | | | for suspend see /usr/share/doc/packages/ powersave/README.suspend2ram | To add an external monitor with bigger resolution than the internal LCD, see also Lenovo T41p. | ||
| T42 | 9.2,10.0,10.1,10.2 | | | | | | | Added ww2.ati.com/suse/10.2/ installation source for fglrx 8.33 for M10 9600. Have Beryl Xgl working with final xorg 7.2. Suspend to Ram works and finally does not show video corruption at the top of the display upon resume. Bluetooth works fine. Didn't need to configure nvram on OpenSuse 10.2. | ||
| T42p | 10.0 beta2 | | | | you need kernel-default-nongpl that is not provided | | | Numlock does currently not work within X. This is a minor issue and should be fixed with beta3. | ||
| T43 | 10.3 | | | | | | | Installing Linux failed initially since resizing of ntfs partition failed - after complete new installation of Windows XP with IBM recovery CDs and resizing of the ntfs everything worked. Tip: Burn recovery CDs first and don't install grub into the MBR since you'll loose the IBM recovery key function (cf. SuSE Linux & T43) | ||
| T43-2668 | 10.0 | | | | | | | Internal modem doesn't work with the default driver, look at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/ | ||
| T43-2687 | 11.0 | | | | | | | Everything I have tested works fine though I haven't played with the internal modem. Needs ATI driver for 3d. | ||
| Lenovo ThinkPad T500 | 11.0 | | | | - Atheros AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express. Requires following these directions, BUT, not installing the kernel modules (drivers) from http://madwifi.org/suse/11.0 but instead installing the v0.10.5.6 madwifi hal drivers (ath_hal in particular apparently) , from here as noted here. | | | Suspend seems to work but may affect wireless card. Wireless card does not function if the hardware kill switch is turned off and then back on again. | ||
| T60 | 10.1,10.2,10.3, 11.1 | In 11.1, the open drivers support 3D & suspend. For 3D in prior versions, you need to install ATI Driver. | | | For 11.1, use default. For 10.3, make sure all ipw3945 drivers & firmware (esp. non-oss) selected during install. Otherwise, post install ipw-firmware and ipw3945d packages from non-oss repository or Extras CD. Also, be sure the wireless kill switch is not turned off, it is near the IR port. ipw3945 kernel module bug in 10.3: go to HCL/Network Adapters (Wireless) for fix. | | In 11.1 w/ open source drivers, suspend works out of the box. | Will try setting up fingerprint login. Tried installing Suse 9.3: didn't recognise HD. Advanced mini-dock seems to work well (tested parallel, USB, & DVI-D ports). http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_opensuse_10.2_on_a_ThinkPad_T60 -/- HDAPS Hard Disk Active Protection System. | ||
| T61 (Intel GM965/GL960 video) | 10.3 | | | | | | | I had some problems with Bluetooth and suspend, not sure what causing it though. I don't use Bluetooth, so I just disabled it and the problem is gone. See more here and here. | ||
| T61 (nVidia Quadro NVS 140M video) | 10.3 | | | | | | Does not resume properly after hibernating from runlevel 5. Hibernating from runlevel 3 is ok after following this fix | Modem not detected. The Quadro 140M adapter is not XGL compatible, use AIGLX instead for compiz. | ||
| T60p | SLED10, 10.2 | only vesa or install the ATI Driver. | | | make sure all ipw3945 drivers & firmware (esp. non-oss) selected during install. ipw3945 kernel module bug in 10.3: go to HCL/Network Adapters (Wireless) for fix. | | | Note for openSUSE 10.2: You need at least fglrx 8.32 driver to make it work with xorg 7.2 | ||
| X30 | 10.2 | | | | | | suspend-to-{disk/ram} both work | |||
| X31 | 10.3 | | | | | | | |||
| X40 | 9.3 / 10.0 | to activate external video, use cloning or use the development driver from fairlite | | | | | for suspend in 9.3 see /usr/share/doc/packages/ powersave/README.suspend2ram | SD Slot not working by default, alpha state kernel patches that have been tested on this laptop are available on http://mmc.drzeus.cx/wiki/Linux/Drivers/sdhci, IR not working | ||
| X41 | 10.2/10.3 | | | | | | |
Hotswapping the ultrabase X4 works (but I seem to need a suspend-to-ram cycle to recognise the CD drive after attaching in 10.3?) The SD card reader works. I've not tried the fingerprint reader. | ||
| X60 | 10.2 | | | | | | | Installation report | ||
| X61 | 10.3 | | | | | | | Nearly everything is supported and works perfectly. Highly recommened! openSUSE 10.3 installation guide | ||
| Z61m | SLED10 | | | | | | | Advanced mini-dock seems to work well (tested parallel, USB, & DVI-D ports). Upgrade process during install handles video drivers for enabling XGL. Slowness issues make this laptop unusable for long term work. | ||
| Z61p | 11.0 / 11.1 | | | | | | |
The radeonhd-driver works nice although the 3d support is quite new. Some problems with using bluetooth and wireless are due to support for these features not yet being quite as polished in KDE4 as they were in KDE 3.5. | ||
| 390X | 11.0 | | | | | | Requires acpi=force on the boot command line | P3/500, 384MB RAM | ||
| 570 | 7.0..11.2 | | | | | | see comments |
Requires | ||
| 600 E | 9.2/9.3/10.0/10.1 | | | | | | | APM OK, ACPI not supported by BIOS. Sound requires manual config. Best to have a small dos partition so you can use the IBM dos tools to configure hardware. | ||
| 600X | 10.1 | Had to select display by hand in SaX after killing X11 repeatedly, also TrackPoint mouse | | worked with Netgear FA410TX | IBM High-Rate Wireless LAN PC (PCMCIA) card works and was configured by YAST to use Orinoco_cs driver | | | Did network install of 10.1 thru netgear card, upgrading from purchased 9.0. | ||
| G40 | 10.0 | | | | | | | Some versions of G40 don't contain wireless network. | ||
| Thinkpad 770E | 10.2 | | | Using PCMCIA CNet SinglePoint 10/100 | | | | P233MMX, 96MB RAM, 4GB HDD, 1024x768x16-bit | Installation was painfully slow - over 24 hours, including updates via broadband. Resultant system is significantly slower than original Windows 2000. | |
| Lenovo 3000 N100 | 10.1 / 10.2 | | external speakers not working | | | | | Ethernet auto-mdi/mdix does not work | ||
| Lenovo 3000 N200 | 10.3 / 11.0 / 11.1 | | 3D in 11.1 | | ipw3945 kernel module bug in 10.3: go to HCL/Network Adapters (Wireless) for fix. In 11.1 after switch ON of wireless kill switch need to manually "ip link set wlan0 up" to use a wlan connection | | 11.1 s2ram & s2disk | Pent. dualCore T2330, Graphic Intel965, NetLinkBCM5906, WLAN IntelPRO 3945 ABG 11.1 card reader | Every thing works with 10.3 with bit of digging. Install and firmwaretest with boot option: 'install=exec:/bin/run_biostest. sounds do not work out of the box, you need to modify the first line in /etc/modprobe.d/sound to "options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo enable=1 index=0" after configuring sound with yast.
Fingerprint reader can be used by following http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Main_Page ' (Bug #331531) | |
| Lenovo 3000 C200 | 10.3 | | | | wireless not reconnect at restore from disk. | | Not work bright monitor control | Intel Celeron M, Broadcom BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI | ||
| Lenovo 3000 N500 | 11.0/11.1 | | | | 11.0 11.1 | | | webcam 11.0 webcam 11.1 modem | touchpad needs tweaks for scrolling to work | |
| Lenovo 3000 V200 | 11.1 | | | | | | Brightness Fn keys not working | webcam modem | Still early days but positive so far | |
| X60s | 11.1 | | | | | | | Did not try PCMCIA slot or the modem | In Gnome virtually everything worked out of the box. Just required some configuration to get it working as I wanted. In KDE4 some of the Fn-Buttons do not work. Docking / Undocking is not handled very well and is not reliable in Gnome or KDE. Fn-F7 (toggle external monitor) not working in KDE. I think there are work arounds for most of these issues in the Thinkwiki but I have not had a chance to check them. | |
| Ideapad Y530 | 11.1 | | | | | | | Power managment not tested. | ||
| Ideapad Y510 | 11.0 & 11.1 | | | | | | | TV Tuner Card Not Tested. Internal Modem not working. Everything else works by default. WebCam Works upside down. | ||
