thinkpad x301 linux setup tweaks

2009-11-16

I’ve got Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic (64 bit) running on the laptop now, and its a big stablity improvement over the previous.

There’s a couple of little tweaks I had to put in place to get things to work perfectly:

Bluetooth Power on Resume

Write the following to: /etc/hibernate/scriptlets.d/x301_bluetooth

x301_bluetooth_enable() {
logger "Waking up Bluetooth"
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/bluetooth_enable
}

AddResumeHook 33 x301_bluetooth_enable

… and on that note, how many times must that particular rc.d wheel be reinvented?

(more later)
