F12 Beta on Lenovo T400s
October 20th, 2009 — red_alertI just gave the freshly released F12 Beta (Gnome x86_64 LiveCD install) a quick try on the very new T400s. Works very well out of the box, congratulations to everyone who worked on making this happen!
Working: ethernet, wifi, DP, Fn-keys (backlight, suspend, volume, battery, screen lock, wifi), suspend on lid close, dock
Not working: Fingerprint Reader (no surprise in newer Lenovos), Fn-key to hibernate (suspends instead)
Not tested: Bluetooth, eSata, microphone mute key, on Dock: 2x DP and 2x DVI, eSata
Will probably give the F12 Beta installDVD a try tomorrow.

Do you have the “thinkpad” wifi card or the intel 5100 or 5300? I’ve got a t400s coming in the mail but it is unfortunately with the “thinkpad” wifi (realtek?) card as getting the intel card no longer seems to be an option (at least on Lenovo Canada).

It’s an Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5300 in ours.

No problem with audio?
In my Fedora-11 sound from headphones work good, but not work from speakers. ;(

Sound works with GNOME but there seems to be a problem in KDE which we didn’t have the time to debug yet.
