So, what was working, or what wasn’t working:

  • Soundcard- I can’t remember very well, but everything, what I had to do is using PulseAudio instead of ALSA
  • Graphics- Everything works out-of-the-box
  • WiFi- Works, but kill radio switch kills the radio, and after that you have to run “ifconfig wlan0 up”
  • Bluetooth- like WiFi, but “echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth”
  • ThinkLight- works out-of-the-box
  • DVD- Out-of-the-box
  • UltraNav- out-of-the-box
  • FireWire- out-of-the-box
  • USB- left port works perfectly, but those 2 on the right after some time changes from hotplug to coldplug- add irqpoll kernel argument to /boot/grub/menu.lst
  • Ethernet- works out-of-the-box
  • PS/2 port- Looks strange, or I have wrong USB->PS/2 switch, but it looks like mini-din connection (not vetrical “tooth”, but horizontal like TV-out in video cards)
  • VGA output- connect device and restart X or xrandr –output VGA –mode 1024×768
  • Keyboard shortcuts- I had to write some bash scripts and xbindkeys, so-

~/.xbindkeysrc is http://www.wklej.org/id/242f2aa54a
/bin/mute.sh is http://www.wklej.org/id/8e1b5a1134
Hibertnating works perfectly
Suspend to RAM too.
