# Special Notes (*):

## IBM ThinkPad T21

- Video:
  - Incapable of running DRM at 1024x768 and 24-bit color due to 8 MB VRAM. Must drop color or resolution to get DRM.
  - For whatever reason, external VGA output (for an external monitor) was disabled. This was fixed by doing this:
    - `echo 1 > /proc/acpi/video/VID/DOS`

## Lenovo Thinkpad T61

- Wireless:
  - While both the iwl3945 and ipw3956 drivers work, the iwl3956 driver provides better transfer speeds, and a working wifi LED activity light.

## Lenovo 3000 N200

- Sound:
  - You may have to append `options snd_hda_intel model=lenovo` to `/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf` for sound to work.

## IBM ThinkPad R50,R52

- Infrared:
  - Still not tested

## IBM ThinkPad R52

- USB Internet Tethering
  - Inbound inet via usb0 works. # dhcpcd usb0

## Lenovo IdeaPad S10

- Wireless :
  - You should install broadcom wl driver. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_BCM4312

## Lenovo ThinkPad T420

- Power Management
  - TP_smapi is not currently supported.

## Lenovo ThinkPad T420s

Multi-touch trackpad works along with scrolling and gestures, just install xf86-input-synaptics with pacman.

For more info on the installation process check here

## Lenovo ThinkPad E430

- Ethernet:
  - Default card is a Realtek RTL8111/8168B. Thus the r8168 module should be used.
- Wireless
  - r8192ce can be moody. So far best fix is to disable firmware low power state (fwlps=0).
- SD Card

As of 3.8 3rd party module is un-needed, device will be accessable @ /dev/mmcX

**To make SD Card slot work, rts5229 is needed. See Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E430 for more info.

- Power Management
  - tp_smapi is not supported, but normal power management may be achieved in the usual ways.
