Thinkpad x2xx - tablet support

Hello,
I'm planning to buy a second hand x2xx and I'm highly interested in the tablet version.
Can anyone say something about the compatibility with linux and the default Arch kernel in particular?
Regards,
Robert

Well, I bought a X200t but by default the tablet touch function does not work.
What do I have to do to enable it?
What I did so far was installing xf86-input-wacom and creating the following /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "stylus"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
Option "Button2" "3"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "eraser"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "Type" "eraser"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
Option "Button2" "3"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "cursor"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "Type" "cursor"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
EndSection
xsetwacom --list devices does not show any devices.
Regards

[SOLVED] ACPI handler.sh no longer working (Thinkpad X60 Tablet)

Hello there,
I recently did a few updates on my system to reduce power usage and get hdaps working. For some reason one of these changes must have broken ACPID in some way so that what I wrote in handler.sh no longer has any effect when I e.g. press the configured buttons to lock my screen or shut down, but I have no clue which.
I'm not really familiar with where ACPI and ACPID keeps all their logs either, and which parts in there might mean something for me. I don't even know how I can check if ACPI is running properly and just ACPID isn't, for instance (both are running thought, confirmed with ps -A).
Here's what I can remember of what I did:
-full system update
-install cpufreq to redcude power usage with acpi_cpufreq
-install HDAPS with Thinkpad driver, as described on the Wiki
-tweak my laptop-mode settings, e.g. disable VGA output when in laptop mode
-enable AHCI for my hard drive in kernel image and BIOS
Would be great if you could help me troubleshoot this somehow, as I really don't have a clue on how to fix this. Here's some output that might be helpful for starters:

ThinkPad Twist s230u and ThinkPad x201 Tablet Creating Recovery Media

Hi Lenovo Customer Support,
ThinkPad s230u( model number: 3347CTO) - Window 8 Pro.
Before I start using my Laptop, I want to create a Recovery Media as is shown when installed with all partitions. Meaning if I format all contents of Laptop I want a recovery Media brings back computer as I go it in the first place include all partitions. By default there are five hidden partition and one ntfs.
What is the procedure how to Create a Recovery Media? I heard only Flash Recovery exist for Window 8.
Also I have Window 8 Pro but when I tried this link procedure http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/Create-Win-8-recovery-media-in-ThinkPad-Thi... I saw only Window 8 option and even then it reboot and did not work.
Also I did Flash Recovery and Took Faster with USB 3.0 Flash around 10 min around 16GB Space
Is it possible to do CD Recovery too ?
ThinkPad x201 Tablet(Model Number: 30933PG) - Wundow 7 Pro
Can you do Flash Recovery Media and CD Recovery Media under Window 7 Pro Enviro.
If you upgrade Hard drive to 1T and RAM to 16 G RAM , Can you Still do the Recovery Media?
What is the Procedure to successfully create Recovery Media.
Thanks.
saad

Reasons am asking this questions:
Sometime you test your computer doing a lot of things learning new technologies etc and suddenly you decide ok I want to take it back to factory state. Until now, most Thinkpad laptop does not come with recovery media. So how can I assure that my Recovery Media includes everything I used to have when I first receive unit.
I want to learn how to do that by myself by learning from the experts.
Until now what I know as follow:
ThinkPad x201:
I tried recovery media 3 DVD only with original hard drive works. I did not try Flash and not sure there is option yet.
If I upgrade unit with 1T hard drive and 16G Ram, How can I do Recovery Media?
ThinkPad Twist s230u:
I tried Flash and followed procedure on link in previous post. I took me less than 15 min to recovery whole. The question is does this process recover all the parts that is included when I receive unit.
I was unable to do recovery since I am not sure when in the Flash and during process showed to choose operating system was only Window 8 option not Window 8 Pro which came with unit.
I was able to do reset within system took longer and worked.
Is the recovery part build-in in the hardware or software partition? Is it included in the recovery Flash with all partitions?
Thank You. Awaiting for anyone to reply.

[Solved] No sound (only headphones) on Thinkpad X200 Tablet

A few years ago, I installed Arch on a Thinkpad X200 Tablet, and everything was fine until a few day ago the HD had to be replaced. I was happy with system and the only think I remember being a headache was the touchscreen.
With the new HD, I decided to reinstall and not keeping config files, for a complete fresh start. One of the first things I did was setup sound, as it was really easy and worked just out-of-box with ALSA. After that, I installed some apps and the DE (Gnome this time, I've been previously working with only a WM, Awesome). I remeber even watching and listening a flash video with no problems.
Today, I keep installing some tweaks: GDM, laptop-tools, HDAPS, setting a console font... and suddenly, I noticed sound was not working anymore. Looked at alsamixer, and everything looks fine. Booting on init level 3 the problem persists, so it's not a Gnome issue. I tried blacklisting the more recent modules and daemons, but no sound. I tried plugging some headphones, and hey, the headphones work!
After reviewing the Arch wiki, Thinkwiki, googling, and trying several workarounds (most of them settings at modprobe.conf, and unmutting everything), I'm still with no sound, and very puzzled for the situation. I would greatly appreciate any help on this, or any clue to keep researching.

Hola joseperezc, thank you for the recommendations.
Installing alsa-oss -> Nothing changes.
pcspkr is loaded by default:
$ lsmod |grep pcspkr
pcspkr 1367 0
I also tried blacklisting it, but no results.
I also tried this conf:
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
options snd slots=snd-hda-intel
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=auto
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1
But still no sound.
Btw, atm I have:
$ pacman -Qs alsa
alocal/alsa-lib 1.0.24.1-1
An alternative implementation of Linux sound support
local/alsa-utils 1.0.24.2-1
An alternative implementation of Linux sound support
I also tried muting the SPDIF channels (I read that sometimes if they are enabled, the conflict with analog output), but no changes. And the sad thing is that it was working before... I'm thinking on uninstalling everything step by step...

Thinkpad 8 tablet - eye strain

I just got the Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 8, and everytime I use it, in less then a few minutes I would get eye strains. I would get this "crawling" headache inside my head, I don't know how to describe it, feel a bit like burning feeling inside my eyes/head. Even when I stopped looking at the screen, it would take a few minutes for the eye strain to disappear. Its not painful, just that it is definitely eye strain and causing me a lot of discomfort. And this really frustrates me because I love this tablet. Here are some background about me and eye strains. Ever since the display technology shifted from CCFL's LCD to LED backlight, I started to get eye strains whenever I looked at certain (LED backlit) laptops, tablets and even smartphones. I first discovered the problem when I replaced my old CCFL LCD display laptop with a new LED-backlit display (Lenovo T420s). Using the Lenovo in just a few minutes I get eye strains and headache. After researching online and experimenting with mobile phone camera, I discovered that the cause of the eye strain is PWM, and putting the brightness to 100% eliminates the flickering, thus no more eye strain. But I had to reduce the contrast to artificially reduce the brightness so that I can use the laptop without blinding me. So I know that I am affected by PWM, and any display that uses PWM causes eye strain for me. But at least I know how to detect it (by using cell phone camera), and I can do something about it (set brightness to 100% to eliminate the PWM flicker). I did the camera test to detect PWM flickering on the Thinkpad 8 as described in this website: http://www.flatpanelshd.com/focus.php?subaction=showfull&id=1362457985 and the Thinkpad 8 does not seem to have PWM (i tested it at 50% brightness). So if the Thinkpad 8 tablet do not have PWM, yet when I use them, why do I still get eye strain? This is what puzzles me. Are there other causes of eye strain apart from PWM? I dont know if this would help, but here are some background on the type of devices that cause and don't cause eye strains to me: I have no problems with these displays and can use them for hours and hours:CRT monitorsAny CCFL LCDs monitorsBlackberry 9700, 9900, iPad 2iPad miniAny Super LCD2/LCD3 display (e.g. HTC One, HTC Desire etc)But if I look at the following LED-backlit displays even for a few minutes, I get eye strains, and have this "crawling" headache inside my head:Lenovo T420s laptop (if brightness less than 100%)Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 8 (any brightness)Any Samsung's Super Amoled smartphones (e.g. S3, S4 etc, at any brightness, even 100%)So now I am trying to find if the Lenovo Thinkpad 8 dispay has some other "features" that causes eye strain, and see if there is something that can be done to solve / work around it (like the 100% brightness thing). I've been reading online about causes of eye strains, and this is what I have gathered as potential causes of eye strains: Brightness - glare from screen too bright (natural cause and effect)Looking at the screen too long (eye fatigue (natural cause and effect)PWM flickering - setting brightness to 100% can solve this problemBlue light - can use software like f.lux to make the colour temperature to be warmerThose are the main ones. But I have also read the following also can cause eye strain: Aggressive / excessive IPS AG coating FRC ditheringFor IPS AG coating, how to detect if the AG coating is "good" or "bad"? I looked at my Lenovo Thinkpad 8, and I have no idea what to look for, let alone what to do about it. Same goes for FRC dithering. Could someone explain to me what it is, how it is used, how to detect it and what can I do if my display has this? Or does anyone knows other potential causes of eye strains? And by the way, anybody else suffering from eye strains when using the Thinkpad 8?

It is likely the low PWM that you are suffering from or it might be the subpixel structure of particular panel. AMOLED displays use PenTile matrix that has issue with text readability .Unfortunately current mass production focused on cutting costs in favour of weak technical quality does not give you many options There might be also various revisions of the same LCD panel that have worse brigthness control regarding PWM control that others. Personally I understand you because I am very picky on choosing LCD monitor. It is a nightmare for me just to imagine I would have to spent at least one month again by trying to find shops where I can see the monitor under normal light conditions. There are too many aspects of LCD monitors that annoys me (flickering, screen door effect, too high lowest brightness, uneven backlight, blurry coating etc.) Another thing the might cause the eye strain is anti-aliasing blurry font rendering. I am unable to use it at all in any form (unless there are 1000 DPI or more desktop displays available) but turning it completely off in current software and OS is not easy. It is summarized in this article http://annystudio.com/misc/anti-aliased-fonts-hurt/ You may be right. It could still be PWM. Even though I tested with camera and cannot detect PWM (maybe I did the test wrong), the PWM might still be there but on higher frequency, which might be why it did not appear on camera, yet this PWM still causing me eye strain. It seems like there might more potential source of eye strains...anti-aliasing font. A screen could have a number of these elements that can cause eye strain causes. It is getting harder and harder for me to buy any electronics that uses LED backlit display. Recently I tried to look at some laptops, most of them, the screen gives me headache. Buying a laptop and even a tablet now is getting harder, for people who are sensitive to PWM like me. Sigh. You are also sensitive to PWM, right? And you get eye strain from LED backlit monitors too? Can you share what devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops etc) that you can use without a problem, and which ones are giving you eye strains. At least we can see if there is some patterns that can help us shed more light on this issue.

Add Verizon SIM card to Lenovo Thinkpad 8 tablet?

I recently purchased a Lenovo Thinkpad 8 tablet that is 4G LTE capable and which has an empty microSIM card slot. Would Verizon offer just the SIM card (and a plan, of course) so that I could take advantage of my tablet's 4G LTE capabilities? I don't know if I actually will or not, but I'm exploring the possibilities. Thanks for any input.

Congrats on your newly purchased Thinkpad 8, Downeaster59! New electronics are always exciting. I recommend stopping by your local direct VZW store http://bit.ly/3SdsA for more details with regards to working with you on an activation/ adding to your existing plan if available.

ThinkPad 10 Tablet Keyboard/Touchpad how to reconnect ?

I have lost the connection between the keyboard dock and the ThinkPad Tablet. I would have assumed that it is a bliuetooth device that i would need to repair with the Tablet. However i can find any info on how to repair the two. Any advice would be greatly apprecieated.
It is a Thinkpad 10 and the keyboard model number is ESK-316A

OK, then I think that the two packages that you will need are the Lenovo Dependency Package and the Lenovo Settings Dependency Package. You'll find them here:

Does Thinkpad 8 20BQ000KXS support UHS-I microSD cards?

Does it make sense to buy a fast UHS-I micro SD card to Thinkpad Tablet 8? Will that make a difference against a standard Class10 SD cards? (meaning, if the SD Card controller in the device supports the fast UHS-I cards)

As stated above, with 20MB/s when the card can odo 80MB/s, it means the intergrated SD card reader on the Thinkpad 8 does NOT take advantage of UHS-I cards! That's a real pity! Thus the original question reformulated:how could we get a real support of UHS-I cards?Driver update? OS update? On windows 10?Or is there any hardware limitation?

Does Firefox for Android Tablet support Flash Player?

I have a Samsung Tablet. I like to play Call of Gods. It requires Flash Player in order to play it. I have found Flash media readers, video players, but not anything to play browser games.
Does Firefox have the Flash Player that I can use to play online games on my Samsung Tablet?

SrazZz is incorrect and also did not give a reason why Flash will would not work.
As of Android 4.1+ one needs Firefox 27.0 or newer in order to run the old Flash 11.1 plugin from Adobe. Mozilla nor the Firefox browser does not make or supply Flash.
There is no guarantee it will work properly or at all on some hardware and cpus. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-watch-flash-videos-firefox-android

Thinkpad x200 Tablett - Make buttons return acpi events

Hi there,
on my Thinkpad X200T I have some buttons for rotating the screen when I am in tablett mode. My problem is that these keys do not produce acpi events, but I get some keycodes (via xev). I know there is a way to fake keys from acpi events - but is there another way around? I want to get acpi events when i press these buttons. All the other buttons create acpi events, just these 3 buttons dont. Anyone know how to do?
Btw: I use the kernel module thinkpad_acpi.
I would also be happy if anyone comes up with another solution, i mean somehow this should be working...
Thanks!

Does ThinkPad Yoga S1 support 5Ghz Wifi service?

Hello Everone?
I bought my Yoga S1 in May 2014 . It working nicely under the environmet of 802.11n support Wireless router.
Yoga S1 features 802.11.ac. That is why I bought new wireless router which supprot 802.11ac (2.4Ghz, 5.0Ghz)
But, my yoga S1 does not catch 5Ghz wifi service, even can not see any signal about 5Ghz frequency, only catch 2.4Ghz antenna.
Other gardgets such as iphone, iPad has no problem catching ans using 5Ghz wifi over my new 802.11ac wireless router.
Please give me some hints why this happens to my Yoga S1.
Thanks a lot.

Hello and welcome,
Not all TP Yogas have 5GHz capable wifi cards. There are several configurations available.
Can you go to device manager and determine which wifi card you have? Or provide the laptop model number?

Are all features of Tablets supported in Aperture ??

Hi,
I'm thinking about buying a Wacom tablet.
I've read a thing about the different pressure levels not being recognized. Is that true.
Anybody using Wacom tablets with Aperture ???
Is it worth it ?? Or would a less expensive brand be better suited ??
Thanks,
Richard

This is kind of a non-answer, but I find that my Bluetooth 6x9 Wacom tablet -- which I absolutely love & depend on in Photoshop -- isn't much use in Aperture. When would pen pressure be an issue? When do you need control that fine, without selections etc? So far, Aperture doesn't seem an app that calls for it much. (Somebody tell me I'm wrong and I'll change my ways.)
