Just installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my T61. Works great!
I hated that bloated Vista Business!
Items that work out of the box:
– Nvidia: 2D works, 3D requires the installation of the proprietary drivers (nVidia Quadro NVS 140)
– Wireless: Atheros card
– Bluetooth keys
– Brightness keys
– Network Card Intel 10/100/1000
– Firewire
– Wireless switch
– 4-in-1 card reader
Worked with some simple tweaking:
– fingerprint reader for login and sudo
1. Install latest thinkfinger packages:
|
1 |
sudo apt-get install thinkfinger-tools libpam-thinkfinger |
2. Update the pam configuration files:
|
1 |
sudo /usr/lib/pam-thinkfinger/pam-thinkfinger-enable |
3. Restart computer
4. Enroll your fingerprint (creates $HOME/.thinkfinger.bir)
|
1 |
tf-tool --acquire |
5. Check fingerprint enrollment
|
1 |
tf-tool --verify |
