Which packages for (IBM X31) laptop?

Hi guys,
i have arch installed on my ibm x31 laptop and need to install laptop-related features. i have read some entries on the wiki but it is confusing as some of them seem to recommend different utilities for similar jobs.
i have found out about acpid, pm-utils, cpufrequtils, speedstep-ich, powernowd, laptop-mode-tools, lapsus, nvram, tpb, tphdisk...oh my god!
i mean, who still has a clue what is needed and how to configure it?
which are obsolete packages?
what should i install in my case? please also consider that i have a thinkpad laptop when you give your recommendations.
thanks a lot, i know you will help

I run arch on a T21 thinkpad which is a tad slower and older than your x31 but the keyboard layout looks almost the same.  I just use acpi and the acpid daemon is launched by hal in my case.  For frequency scaling I use cpudyn and not powernowd as a daemon. Check this post: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=39400
And this post is pretty much what I do for the thinkpad Fn+ keys to work: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=45710
He also metions about nvram which never did a thing for me either.
I tried out tpb but it didn't do anything special that I could see or use.
I don't use laptop-mode-tools on my thinkpad.  Just never seemed to need it.  Your mileage may vary as thinkpads seem to work differently for everyone.  Just do a forum search on thinkpads and you'll see what I mean.
This site: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkWiki  may give you some general info as well--if you haven't already seen it.

  • Which package for saving a variant of transaction SM30?

    Hello,
    I use SHD0 to create a variant of the transaction SM30. After saving it, I got the dialog to select the package. Z* packages are not allowed, only SAP Packages. Which is the correct package for saving the variant?
    Best regards,
    Alexander

    I create them in SE93.
    Z* Transaction code.  Transaction with variant.
    The transaction is  SM30. 
    The default values are:
    update X or blank for non-edit
    VIEWNAME:  **
    where ** is the name of the table you are maintaining.

  • Bug in hal video quirks for IBM X30 laptop

    With the default settings the radeon quirk is added to quirks causing the system to hard lock as soon as dpms blanks the screen.  Adding a match that disables the radeon_off quirk seems to solve the problem but should not be needed.  Clearly a bug in the freedesktop fdi file where the X30 with intel 82830 graphics is confused for the X31 with radeon.

    I agree. There are bugs. Looks like Flash Player was updated this past April.
    I could watch videos prior to this.

  • IBM X31, atheros wireless card, ath5k driver

    Hi,
    I am using an IBM X31 laptop which has wifi card with atheros chip installed. This card works fine with madwifi, however, i wanted to know if i could get it working the new ath5k driver (http://madwifi.org/wiki/About/ath5k). Is it possible? If yes, does anyone know how?
    Thx
    psyspy80

    The details are all in that wiki, specifically in the 'Users' section. Currently, the driver can only be compiled as part of a kernel build. You can either build your own wireless-git kernel, or you can try the -mm kernel, which includes ath5k.
    As it happens, I am close to uploading the latest -mm kernel package to the unstable repo, so if you can hang on a bit, you can use that (the usual -mm health warnings apply, of course).

  • Which package of dreamweaver should I buy for my local scout association? Personal? smallbusiness? It's only user will be me

    Hello,
    I want to create a webpage for my local scout association, and I would like to use dreamweaver to do it.
    It's not something I will get paid for.
    But I can not figure out which package I need to buy.
    Because it is only me who will be using it, and therefore I thought it should be a personal license.
    But I am also a student at university college of northern, therefore I thought it should be a Student license.
    but maybe I'm wrong and it should be a license for a small business?
    Can anybody please explains to me which package I need to buy?
    In advance thank you for your time :-)
    //Lars

    if you can qualify as a student, getting a student license is less expensive (but more of a hassle to obtain because of documentation needed).
    otherwise, you would get a personal/individual license.

  • [SOLVED] pacman: which package should I install for a given file?

    Hi there!
    I'm still trying to learn arch's essentials. A question coming up frequently is:
    Say I know I need file /usr/bin/zipinfo. How do I find out which package it's delivered in? The only thing remotely similar in the wiki is
    pacman -Qo /path/to/a/file
    but this only works for already installed packages. So what next?
    Best wishes,
    Rufus
    P.S.: google told me the package is called unzip so that's not the problem. Still, there has to be some way to get this information from the command line.

    brilliant, thanks! I could have figured it's not a standard pacman function (since the situation is similar with debian's apt-get).
    Maybe this is worth a mention on pacman's wiki page. This is the first time arch's fabulous wiki let me down

    I'm pretty sure battery capacity doesn't related with power performance of your system.. (in a notebook)
    well perhaps this is just another way of people to advertise their website.
    anyway. go for the biggest capacity, make sure it's genuine, and you can unplug ur battery if you dont  have one

  • Which packages are needed for rt73 chipset?

    Right, so the last time I installed Arch, I blindly installed every package related to networking and the size of the install came out to be quite big for an arch install. This time, I want to reinstall it with the barest amount of packages needed for me to get on the Internet (including base and base-devel), so which packages do I select?

    While I have no first hand experience of rt73/rt2571 based devices myself, the Arch Wiki suggests it's no big deal.
    I use wicd as a wireless connection manager as it comes with a curses based interface so you can easily select wireless networks before setting up X.org (or if you don't use it). It is very easy to set up and manage.
