[ltp] T61 with Nvidia and Ubunty Hardy Heron -- annoying problems...

[Petar Milin]

Hello ALL!
I am trying, again, to get some straightforward information and to fix
few annoying things on my T61, with Nvidia.

First, suspend/resume (not to think about hibernate):
I tried various drivers
(a) Lenovo driver at
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-69135
(b) Ubuntu repository driver (System -> Administration -> Hardware
Drivers)

I tried various file-tweaking as explained at
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_8.04_(Hardy_Heron)_on_a_ThinkPad_T61
(look for "Working on hardy final")
# Also, I could suggest you to look at 
# http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_7.10_%28Gutsy_Gibbon%
29_on_a_ThinkPad_T61#How_to_Suspend_with_nVidia_140m.2F570m
# and
# http://rende.se/index.php?n=Main.UbuntuHardyOnT61#suspend-resume

At the end, my T61 cannot resume.


Second, Trackpoint mid-button scroll is not working, although I did
proper changes in /etc/X11/xorg.conf adding
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"Trackpoint"
	Driver		"mouse"
	Option		"CorePointer"
	Option		"Device"		"/dev/input/mice"
	Option		"Protocol"		"ImPS/2"
	Option		"ZAxisMapping"		"4 5"
	Option		"Emulate3Buttons"	"true"
	Option		"EmulateWheel"          "true"
	Option		"EmulateWheelButton"    "2"
EndSection
In addition to that, some weird problems occur if you use more than one
keyboard layout. Switching is not working always, ordering of keyboards
changes by some magic etc.


In conclusion, I am not happy nor sad, but some things are really
annoying. Moreover, there is not clear and direct howto fix things. If
anyone can give me advice(s) -- since, I am not an expert, I would
appreciate that very much.
I read that both suspend and hibernate are working if you not use Nvidia
driver. However, someone pointed out that then heating increases. Is
that the fact?
For Trackpoint and keyboard layout I have no idea at all.

Best,
PM
