Hardware details

Notes

Note that the X60 is almost identical to the X60s (the X60s has a low-powered CPU, but the rest of the hardware is the same or similar). There may also be activity on the [LaptopTestingTeam/ThinkpadX60s] page.

Hardy (32bit)

Worked out of the box without any of the earlier glitches.

For Microphone have to Open Volume Control, raise Microphone volume to 80% and unmute, then Edit/Preferences and Capture track, then on Recording tab raise Capture volume to 80% and unmute microphone.

External monitor is not visibly detected and displayconfig-gtk just comes up with nothing helpful - also prints "*** Error: couldn't find any ServerLayout sections".

Alternatively, if external monitor is detected, dual-head can't be configured without manual changes to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Seehttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/220563, and for the fix see http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_Graphics_Media_Accelerator_950.

Fn-F7 makes the monitor wake up, but then it goes back to sleep. It also makes the internal display redraw painfully, and a little green running man briefly appears in the top right corner (weirdest error I've seen in a long time). So currently no out-of-box multiple monitor support.

Sleep works, and it reconnects to WiFi when it wakes, but CPU Frequency scaling stops and it's locked to full-speed.

The laptop hibernates correctly, but when it comes out of hibernation you are returned to the GRUB boot screen. If you choose Linux, it comes back to your original state rather than rebooting.

Crashes when undocking from the dock - see bug 189185. (The Intrepid kernel fixes this but breaks a lot of other things, beware.)

Gutsy (64bit)

Almost every thing seems to work fine, but there are error messages after waking up after sleep or hibernate. But it seems to work.

Feisty

The brightness keys turn the monitor off, and it can only be turned back on by restarting X. The fix mentioned in Thinkpad x60 tablet brightness and Fn buttons fixed! works, but the on-screen display and the Brightness applet no longer register the correct brightness when adjusted using the buttons. Bug #70073.

The wireless off key turns BlueTooth off, and it can only be turned back on by booting Windows.

I've raised bug #90810 for the hotkeys that aren't setup automatically.

The external monitor key only works at boot time and the built-in LCD is then disabled. Using the monitor for dual-head requires manual xorg.conf changes.

Ejecting the docking station seems to do nothing. On removing the docking station, any mounted CDs become un-unmountable, and reconnecting doesn't change anything - a reboot is required.

The volume control buttons beep very loudly on each step. The system beep is similarly very loud. It does not seem possible to control the beep volume with xset, only duration and pitch - the volume parameter seems to set duration. Bug #90818 but there's a Windows control panel that turns the beep off.

Laptop doesn't recover from hibernate. Sleep works 80% of the time.

Dual-core support works out-of-the-box.

Dapper

The first try for installing did not work see #42339. However the second try succeeded.

I got wireless to work by installing ipw3945-1.0.0 and ieee80211-1.1.13. However the GNOME Network Manager has disappeared and I did not mangage to restart. I am using KWIFIManager currently. I installed SMP package for dual core support.
