Jumping cursor on touchpad release
I struggled with jumping cursor when releasing the finger, making it impossible to hit small objects. It was solved with synclient FingerHigh/Low:
synclient FingerHigh=40 synclient FingerLow=40
Video
See Intel graphics.
Wireless
Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 (rev c4)
Works out of the box. Module: iwldvm
Sound
Works out of the box. Kernel module: snd_hda_intel
Webcam
Works out of the box (tested using cheese)
Power
Suspend works out of the box. Hibernate works using pm-utils (see Suspend and hibernate#Kernel[broken link: invalid section]). Uswsusp was not tested
Troubleshooting
Brightness control
Brightness can only be switched between darkest and brightest values using OS method.
The fix is to make the thinkpad-acpi kernel module control it: append thinkpad-acpi.brightness_enable=1 acpi.brightness_switch_enabled=0 to the kernel line in the bootloader.
USB 2.0 not working or giving kernel traces
Not sure if this was solved by using acpi_backlight=vendor or by blacklisting these modules I do not use:
cat /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf blacklist joydev blacklist pcspkr blacklist iTCO_vendor_support blacklist iTCO_wdt blacklist thinkpad_acpi # it not used by this model and gives warnings about unknown events to the logfiles when loaded.
