Lenovo T60p notes - Gentoo Linux (2007.01.12:1 tech_notes#8 t60p_gnulinux#5)

Following: http://thomasgersdorf.com/linux/index.php/Gentoo_Linux_on_IBM_ThinkPad_T60:Fn-Keys

For power management/suspend to RAM and function keys use. No mention of AHCI in Thinkpad BIOS. Enabled sleep states under ACPI in stock 2.6.18 kernel. Emerged: acpid, and thinkpad - previously tpctl stuff also.

xxxxx: rc-update add acpid default

reboot and now: echo -n mem > /sys/power/state

suspends with use of crescent-moon function-F4 to wake up!

Gentoo on the Thinkpad t60p part three: (2006.12.28:1 t60p_gnulinux#4 tech_notes#325)

• 1] Rebooted for OSS compatibility in ALSA in new kernel. After startx:

OpenGL renderer string: ATI MOBILITY FireGL V5200 Pentium 4 (SSE2) (FireGL) (GNU_ICD)

but also needed to rmmod and then modprobe:

ipw3945 for wireless

• 2] autoexpect is not part of the expect gentoo package but as it is only a script can easily be downloaded and installed
• 3] There is not smtp authentication support in the smtpmail.el in the Gentoo installed GNU Emacs - copied from old t20

vague notes: xterm -ls option to read .bash_rc, win32codecs in USE flags for streaming firefox/mms/wmv:

t60p GNU/Linux installation part two: (2006.12.27:2 tech_notes#324 t60p_gnulinux#3)

Gentoo install functioning. Notes:

• 1] Followed advice from sites below for e1000 (wired) and ipw3945, ieee80211 (wireless) module installation post-kernel.

wired untested. wireless working

• 2] Unmasked ati-drivers and extras with:

echo "x11-drivers/ati-drivers ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

using fglrx in xorg.conf but no hardware OpenGL as first complained of lack of fglrx_dri.so in /usr/lib/dri - made this directory and copied across but no luck (undefined symobols there) - to be fixed

• 3] Sata enabled in kernel and driver is sata-piix
• 4] ALSA untested. No /dev/dsp as didn-t compile in OSS emulation

unrelated: to check out clfswm Lisp window manager

brief hdspmixer/gentoo install note: (2006.12.27:1 t60p_gnulinux#2 tech_notes#323)
