## Other

You can find more general ThinkPad Edge hardware related information on ThinkPad_Edge page. The sections below provides information on what was tested to work

### Hibernation & Suspend

Follow Power management#Power_management_with_systemd guide. Works as of systemd-204-3 (CAUTION: current systemd-207-5 seemed to break hibernation)

### ACPI / Fan control

Acpid works, just follow general guidelines. For Fan control use tpfanco-svn (tpfan-admin for GUI interface). Follow instructions on Thinkpad_Fan_Control.

### Kernel Mode Setting (KMS)

KMS lets you set high native resolution early during system boot. Follow guidelines in Kernel_Mode_Setting page. Add i915 in MODULES while editing mkinitcpio.conf for early KMS.

### Plymouth

Plymouth provides a flicker-free graphical boot processs. Seemed to work without problems.
