    Oh yeah. Also works on the W510 now. Thanks for pointing that out!
    The mute for the mic still doesn't work for me though.

    For the record, I completely wiped off windows yet the BIOS update on my T410s was a breeze. Just download the bootable cd iso from the Lenovo web page, burn to cd, reboot.

    Hi.

    Has anybody managed to get HDMI audio working with the NVS 3100M card?

    Has anyone tried updating their T410 to xorg-server 1.8 on Arch? It completely broke my system. I had to downgrade all of the xf86 and xorg stuff.

    Anyone have any similar or different experiences to share?

    I am running xorg-server 1.8 on Arch on T410 with nvidia. I think there were some issues with the keyboard/mouse, but that was it.

    Hm. Perhaps it is an intel problem. I noticed that there was an update to intel-dri and xorg-server, even after 1.8 was put in the stable repos. I honestly do not care that much though to put in the effor to make it work. I'm fine with any working X.

    Update: It indeed was an issue with my intel drivers, sort of. I previously was using a git version of xf86-video-intel, so when Xorg 1.8 started, there was this conflict, which was causing the crash. I removed that version and updated to the xf86-video-intel in the stable repos, and everything works fine now. Now I'm free of HAL, and I don't know the difference!

    I just got a Lenovo T410 without the camera for work. Ubuntu 9.10 didn't want to boot for some reason.

    Ubuntu 10.04 worked perfectly thus far.

    Can anyone help me get the "ThinkPad b/g/n" wi-fi card working in Ubuntu 10.04? I'm using the AMD64 version. I'm not sure but I think it's actually a RealTek card. (Wish I'd gotten the Intel 6200.)

    Is it known which card the "ThinkPad b/g/n" is? If you're not sure, post the output of 'lspci'. Getting wi-fi to work might involve ndiswrapper (well, at least when I had a broadcom card years ago, that is how I did it) depending on the model and the available drivers.

    lspci told me it's a Realtek 8191 card. Not supported in the kernel and although there is a driver available it seems it is pretty buggy. I avoid using ndiswrapper at all costs. So, I went the easy route and bought the Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 card. It's natively supported like most all the Intel cards and, so far, it works great in Ubuntu. No hassles, no problems.
