The laptop in question: http://shop.lenovo.com/us/landing_pa...kpad/2010/Edge
it's too new. Not even released in most shops here in Sweden. I'm looking at buying this and as long as the WiFi Link 1000 is supported by Lucids kernel im fine. I am a bit suspect on the performance of the SU7300 CULV chip, but I only need the laptop for surfing/email/browsing photos and playing 720p films, which it should cope with, but it is possible that multiple apps open at the same time makes the desktop feel slow, hence my suspicion.
but with 6-8 hrs battery and thinkpad-ish keyboard, im all for it! I use a Thinkpad T61p at work, and it's the best laptop i've ever used, but cannot afford it personally, so the Edge is a great option.
I recently used an Atom N270 based Samsung NC10 with winxp... it worked, and teh desktop "feel" when running one app at a time was pretty good, but I installed Nero on it and it took 1 whole hour to install the application!
If this is to be your main computer, it might be a bit underpowered for more serious tasks. This is going to be my "surfing" laptop, and I already have a Home Server for very processor/memory/disk intensive tasks, so it won't really matter for me if I cannot photo edit or transcode etc on this laptop.
I just bought one about 2 hours ago and am currently running 9.10 from a USB stick. So far wireless is fine, as is sound. Volume and brightness buttons OK. Camera not yet working (hence my check in the forums). I'll let you know as I progress.
please do let us know what the performance is like with the SU7300 processor. Can you run firefox/thunderbird/movie player at the same time without slowdown? Does the desktop "feel slow". How much battery time do you get during average use?
Hi all,
the ThinkPad Edge (type: 0196-2eg) works fine for me with the latest Karmic...
WLAN, UMTS, camera, Bluetooth, 3D acceleration, sound, etc. all do work fine.
GPS is not (yet) working.
Best,
M.
No word on the AMD version, is there?
I bought the AMD version today, but the problem is WLAN doesn't work with 9.10.
Do you know what to do?
Thanks
Hello,
I'm currently trying to get the AMD version (model 0197-6LG) working under Karmic. I cannot get the Bluetooth and WiFi to work. Bluetooth is not present in lspci/lsusb though it works under Windows.
I've installed the WiFi driver from the Realtek site (Realtek 8192SE, version 0015) but I don't know how to enabtle the wlan interface. It is apparently disabled after the driver loads into the kernel. When I click the "Enable WiFi" button in Gnome Network Manager, nothing happens. See the dmesg output below:
The rtl8192_SetWirelessMode(), wireless_mode:10, bEnableHT = 1 is the moment when I click the button. I've tried to reboot, recompile the driver, reload it but it always hangs there.Code:[ 4667.662276] rtllib_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL'

The Fn+F9 keystroke doesn't seem to work either.
Does anyone know a solution to this problem? The laptop works (excluding WiFi & Bluetooth) great under Linux and has even a better power consumption than under Windows, I really don't want to use Windows on it.
On the Lenovo forums they say that you should try Ububntu 10.04 as the driver for the Wlan is not in the kernel used by Ubuntu 9.10.
10.04 gets release next month so the beta should be out soon. Once it hits beta it should be pretty stable to use daily.
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on my edge right now. Out of the box it saw the wlan card and I was able to get an IP via dhcp. I could ping myself but not my gateway.
Works great after I downloaded the latest drivers from realtek:
http://www.realtek.com/downloads/sea...?keyword=linux
click on "RTL8192SE (Software)"
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-source-2.6.32 [10.04]
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-source-2.6.31 [9.10]
tar -xzvf rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0015.0127.2010.tar.gz
cd rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0015.0127.2010
sudo make
sudo su
in root shell:
make install
modprobe r8192se_pci
except for the change in linux source version this worked for me in 9.10 as well but the drivers were older and flakier. These drivers should be better
I can't find the instructions I based these on. Be sure to sudo su before the make install, sudo make install didn't work for me.
Good Luck
-PaulK
Paul_K, I'm also using an edge and 10.4, but can't get it to work. I've followed your instructions, but still no joy.
Here is what I get in the log:

Thanks,

Alex, I had exactly the same problem as you. I tried nearly everyting on the Ubuntu Karmic to get the adapter working but nothing helped. Recompiling the drivers, updating system, updating kernel, ...etc
What solved the WiFi problem? It's weird but it was solved simply by rebooting to Ubuntu Lucid Alpha 3 Live CD. The WiFi didn't work there either but after booting back to Karmic, everything was fine, even Bluetooth started working. In fact, I'm writing right now from my Edge on a WPA2 WiFi network!
Makes sense. These devices have software-enabled kill switches. If the driver is too old and doesn't enable the switch, then the device won't power up. I had that issue on my HP dv5z as well, until I got a newer rev of the driver.
Just got an AMD Edge here today, installing Lucid Alpha3 on it at the moment.
Beta1 actually.
It comes with the Realtek driver, and the driver sees one of the wifi networks in the area. But it doesn't see my network, and it looks like the network-manager app doesn't support WPA-Enterprise. What's up with that?
Ah never mind. The driver that Lucid ships with doesn't work, but replacing it with the one from the realtek web site it works fine. You just have to find and delete the Lucid driver, otherwise even though you "make install" your own, it won't be loaded (because there are actually 3 different copies of the driver under /lib/modules).
isn't this only an issue if you've bought the AMD version of the Thinkpad Edge? The Intel version comes with an Intel WiFi Link 1000 adapter, and that should have no issues with the Ubuntu 10.04 kernel driver.
Yes, this is only an issue on the AMD version.
By the way, there's a ton of good info in this thread:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=456688
I downgraded back to Karmic because Lucid always said "disks need to be checked" on every boot, even though it was always cleanly shut down. But I kept the 2.6.32.9 kernel that I built for Lucid with the DSDT patch. The machine is now running very well with all these tweaks applied.
What is your power consumption with the DSDT patch? Powertop without the patch reports something around 20-22W what is quite high (~2 hours on 4-cell).
Could those of you who have a Lenovo Edge and have tried Ubuntu on it let us know the following information:
1. Output of lspci
2. Version on Ubuntu used
3. What worked out of the box and what did not work
This way users will be able to get a clear picture of what does and does not work.
;)
hi everybody i also have a thinkpad edge amd version and i can't turn on the wifi in lucid beta1. i've been reading this thread and tried paul_k's instructions but still no wifi. in network manager it still says wireless networks disconnected. Maybe im doing something wrong. I also dont know how to do highlandsun's suggestion of finding and deleteng the lucid driver in lib/modules
I'm dual booting with windows 7 starter now and it works there.. Also, in case its relevant, im using 2.6.32-17-generic-pae kernel and it sees 3.7 out of the 4 gigs i put in.
I'd rather plug the lan cable in Lucid than use wifi on windows but it would be perfect if i can also use wifi in lucid.
Hope somebody may be able to help. Thanks!

I was able to get the wifi working already... ended up using sudo nautilus search in /lib/modules and sure enough there were 3 rtl8192se files there. wifi worked after those were deleted.
I tried suspend and it worked too. Didn't try hibernate and the webcam. Regarding its bluetooth, if i shut down windows 7 with it turned on it will be on when i boot into Lucid. And vice versa. So I guess i'll be using Win7 as my glorified bluetooth switch.. :D
Oh yeah.. acpi -V says Thermal 0= 26.8 celsius so i guess there's something wrong there if it refers to the cpu temp.
Anyways, Lucid is running fine so far. No freezes and other weird stuff.
I installed Lucid beta on my Intel Edge. The one problem I have is with sound: at first all worked as it should, until I hit the mute key. After that, I get sound coming out from internal speakers and headphones at the same time, or from speakers only when headphones plugged in. Tried restarting, but problem persists.
Suspend and hibernate work fine, I haven't had a chance to check wireless yet. Webcam works.
I have had the battery state indicating 8 hours after some tweaking with powertop and dimming the screen all the way down.

Just got my tp EDGE 13 (Intel version) yesterday in matte black casing :)
I installed Win7 to see what it was like... I was surprised that there was stuttering on the desktop when moving windows/opening applications! I thought Win7 was better than Vista in respect to low powered laptops...oh well. So I booted into Ubuntu 10.04 beta, and what a difference! The desktop is very snappy even with full compiz compared to Win7. Haven't had chance to test everything yet but once I do i'll put it up on the Laptop testing page.
By the way, was VERY pleased to see that the webcam worked OOTB as well as audio over HDMI!! But I had to select the correct output in the Sound options before I got audio over HDMI.
I had got Wifi to work fine following the instructions earlier, but it looks to have broken after the Beta 2 update.
Wireless networks are found and can be connected to, but after about 30 seconds the connection is lost (although it still says it is connected). Trying to reconnect fails until after a reboot.
Anyone else had this problem?
Anyone know a solution?
Alex
*** UPDATE ***
I have managed to fix it...
sudo nautilus and searched for any rtl8192se files in /lib/modules. Deleted them.
Installed fresh drivers from Realteck as per instructions on page 1.
Wireless connected straight away and stayed connected.
Rebooted just in case! Working fine ever since :-)
If anyone has the same problem with sound I mention above (sound in both headphones and speakers), a fix can be found here:

Hi,
i plan to buy this laptop. I have some questions:
1) Is it really (amd processor) capable to be used as main computer (+ external dvd drive)?
2) Should i buy it if i intend to use linux as main system?
3) How high is fan/noise level? (i use dell mini10v-fanless, and macbook white - has no disturbing noise leve)
I think you should prefer intel version. I have 13" Intel version running ubuntu 9.10, no show stoppers, but audio and integrated 3G are pain. Gobi2000 firmware loading is not yet working without tweaking and audio is unable to mute speakers with headset attached.
Noise level is nice, hardly nothing can be heard. Display is awesome, but touchpad is a bit in a way when using mouse buttons bellow it.
Thanks for answer. I openned here one new thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1457175
Well, i am inerested in amd version-i can get it for 399 EUR with 2GB Ram. And i have 2GB extra. So at the end i could have 4GB Ram. And the cheapest Intel version goes up to 600-650 EUR-and that is actually too expencive now for me.
Thanks
hello!
ı have recently bought edge 13 amd version and installed 9.10ubuntu.
with skype 2.1 ı have the camera workıng ootb but not the mic. then i have installed pulse audio and it worked after restart (including sound recorder), but after talking on skype for afew minutes or less, it stoppes working.
all is fine after reboot and after the first call it stoppes again..
any ideas ??
Looks like the same thing happening here. No ideas yet, sorry.
I have foundthis tutorial which allowed me to use trackpoint middle button scrolling, but the second part which is about press-to-select did not work for me cause theres no such file.. any ideas about that?
Code:1. Introduction
The TrackPoint is the red nub in the middle of the keyboard and the three buttons right below the keyboard. By default Press-To-Select, the process of pushing down on the TrackPoint to click, is turned off. Also, by default the TrackPoint's middle click performs the Paste function.
In this tutorial I will describe how to adjust these settings activate the middle click scroll and Press-To-Select similar to Windows.
2. Configure TrackPoint Middle Mouse Scroll
I wanted to configure the middle click on the TrackPoint to scroll just like in Windows so I used the following commands to achieve it.
2.1: Find the ID number for the TrackPoint
The first step is to find the xinput id number for the IBM TrackPoint. Run the following command.
xinput list
You should receive all the available devices for xinput. One of the devices should say:
"TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" id=9 [XExtensionPointer]
Type is MOUSE
Num_buttons is 5
Num_axes is 2
Mode is Relative
Motion_buffer is 256
Axis 0 :
Min_value is -1
Max_value is -1
Resolution is 1
Axis 1 :
Min_value is -1
Max_value is -1
Resolution is 1
Or something very similar. The "id=#" is the important number we will be using in the following commands. Later it will save the headache of typing that very long device name.
2.2: TrackPoint Middle Mouse Scroll
Next run the following commands to enable the middle mouse scroll.
xinput set-int-prop # "Evdev Wheel Emulation" 8 1
xinput set-int-prop # "Evdev Wheel Emulation Button" 8 2
xinput set-int-prop # "Evdev Wheel Emulation Timeout" 16 200
*** Replace # with the id number for the TrackPoint from the previous command.
Now you should be able to middle scroll by pressing the middle mouse button for the TrackPoint and moving the TrackPoint up and down.
3. Enable Press-To-Select
Press-To-Select is the process on pushing down on the TrackPoint to click on objects.
In the directory "/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/" There is a file called "press-to-select". That is the file we will be focusing on.
3.1: Change directory
Open up the terminal and change the directory to "/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/"
cd /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/
3.2: Change Permissions of "press-to-select"
Change the permissions of the "pres-to-select" file to allow others modify the file.
sudo chmod o=rw ./press_to_select
3.3: Turn on/off Press-To-Select
To turn on/off Press-To-Select is just a matter of adding a 1 or 0 to the file.
~Turn Press-To-Select On~
echo -n 1 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/press_to_select
~Turn Press-To-Select Off~
echo -n 0 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/press_to_select
Now you should be able to click by pushing straight down slightly on the TrackPoint.
Thank you!!! This worked for my Thinkpad R61i after upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx). After applying the 2.2 commands as mentioned, the middle mouse button now scrolls pages ... great and thank you!!
Hi all,
Bought the Thinkpad Edge 13 a few weeks ago (Intel model - 01962EG), here's what worked out of the box on 10.04 x86_64:
1. Wireless networking works fine, although the adapter doesn't detect my wireless N access point at home, need to look into that ( I have the same issue when running Windows 7 on this laptop)
2. Webcam
3. Sound, including mic
4. Suspend / Resume
5. Media player keys, brightness keys, volume keys
What didn't work:
1. Qualcomm Gobi 2000 WWAN adapter, I haven't looked into this yet, since I don't use it
2. When a heaphone is plugged in, there's still sound coming out of the speakers. Add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and reboot your machine to fix this:
3. Static noise and hissing in the background when a headphone is plugged in, this is OS independent and unfortunately looks like a design issue. I am in contact with Lenovo support on this, for me this is a major issue.Code:options snd-hda-intel model=olpc-xo-1_5
4. Wireless "kill switch" key
5. No Bluetooth adapter is detected
6. Multitouch, including two-finger scrolling
7. Trackpoint middle button, see post above this one

Thanks for the headphone jack solution. My AMD Edge 13 works nearly perfectly after that (excluding the wireless killswitch and occasional lockups due the buggy WiFi driver).
With the DSDT patch (I had to recompile the kernel) and the latest BIOS, I got abot 17-19W power consumption which gives me about 2+ hours runtime. Nearly the same as under Windows.
Offtopic: Does anyone have problem with Lenovo battery gauge under Windows 7 saying "Battery not installed"? The integrated Windows indicator works great but the Lenovo's one reports this error. My drivers and ThinkVantage software are up-to-date.
How do you check on your power consumption ? I get about 4,5 to 5 hrs of battery (wireless surfing, office tasks).
Using powertop or just simply by clicking the Gnome battery indicator. There are some battery information like number of cycles, capacity, and also the current power consumption displayed.
I have just got a ThinkPad Edge 13 (AMD) and installed Lucid on it. I am having problems with it just crashing - goes to a blank screen. So far this has happened frequently when the mains power is connected, but not when running on battery power.
I'm guessing that the power management is causing these crashes. Do you think that I need use the DSDT patch mentioned above?
I have read this page but am wary of continuing as I have no experience of tinkering with the kernal.
Additionally I am having the above mentioned problems with the headphones and the trackpoint middle button, and will try the fixes mentioned above for these. The wireless is working fine.

Would really appreciate any help on the power/crashing issue
hi just bought a thinkpad edge 13 (intel SU 7300). installed ubuntu 10.04 everything seems to work fine except touchpad 2 finger scrolling
anyone know how to acivate two finger scrolling?
thnx
found a solution by searching around. [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...s/+bug/554980]
just open terminal and copy:
xinput --set-prop --type=int --format=8 "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Two-Finger Scrolling" 1 0
xinput --set-prop --type=int --format=32 "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Two-Finger Pressure" 4
the bios upgrade using grub2 works... it is described here BIOS Upgrade - ThinkWiki
Some observations about performance. For the last three weeks, I've been running an in-house kernel compiled to include the dsdt file provided in http://forum.notebookreview.com/leno...essions-6.html. My bios/ecp version was 1.12/1.04.
Before compiling with the provided dsdt file, I got an error after login, about not being able to use CPU frequency scaling. The dsdt included kernel got rid of that and I could see the change in CPU freq in idle times thru the panel CPU monitor.
However, that really did not have an impact on battery life, at least not as much as I thought it would. After I upgraded my BIOS/ECP firmware yesterday to version 1.18/1.09, I switched back to kernel without dsdt file override (hpoing that the 1.18 upgrade may have implemented a fix in the dsdt table). But nope, its still not fixed as I still get the CPU freq scaling error.
The interesting thing is there is virtually no difference in power rating between kernels with or without a dsdt override. The power consumption remains in the same level, around 21W.
Additionally, when I used a kernel with a dsdt override the backlight adjustment keys on the top row of the keyboard did not respond. Actually the level indicator appeared on the screen and the level changed as the key was pressed, however the actual brightness level did not change.
Another thing is when I close the lid and the machine goes to suspend, it wakes back up, but is totally unresponsive and requires a forced reboot by pressing the power button. This problem occured regardless of the type of kernels used (with or without the dsdt override), however it is fixed with the bios upgrade (to ver 1.18).
Overall, the battery drains fast as it feels, it takes less than two hours, at a rate of approx 21 W.
However, using the proprietary ATI catalyst driver reduces power rate to a band 12-14 W, representing a reduction of around 30% in comparison with the ubuntu's own ATI drivers.
Is everybody seeing a bluetooth adapter with this laptop in Ubuntu ? Mine seems not be detected...
Cheers,
Eric
i have recently installed lucid on a thinkpad edge 13 " (intel core2duo)..
almost everything i need worked out of the box..
the most annoying problem: RESUME AFTER SUSPEND
the screen turns black, the red light (i) indicates sleep mode, but the fan continues to run and the machine is stuck and i need to switch it off.
does anybody have the same problem or knows a fix? i have read in this thread that resume after suspend works..
and another question: how to enable 2-finger-scrolling in a persistent way? restarting disables it.
thanks a lot!
1.14 / i ran a bios update 2 weeks ago
on win7 no suspend/resume problem. swap 4 GB (usage 0 %), RAM 4 GB (usage 13 %).
swap is in an encrypted LVM together with the rest (except boot partition).
There are three ways to get into suspend mode as far as I know.
1- from the panel menu
2- by closing the lid
3- power manager (after being idle for minutes)
I've also had a similar WAKEUP problem when the machine suspended by closing the lid (if I chose to suspend via panel menu I did NOT have that).
During wake up keyboard was totally unresponsive. I've loaded the latest bios update 1.18/1.14 which solved that problem, only partially however.
Now the same WAKEUP problem is observed ONLY when power manager sends the machine to suspend after being idle for so many minutes.
i know that. it makes no difference..
Im running 10.4 on a edge (intel) everything but wifi works.
I saw the guide for the AMD version. But since everyon with intel reports that all works ootb there is no such guide for me.
My problem is that i cant enable the radio. It is detected, but disabled.

The "Enable Wireless" text is grey/disabled. "Enable networking" works though.
Hi all,
I'm interested in buying an Edge 13. However, I have heard the headphone port is very noisy. Has anyone here experienced this? Has anyone here NOT experienced this?
Cheers!
I am experiencing this problem as well. And I solved it using the suggestion in the 2nd post of this thread.

If it is hardware related, please take your battery out.
Then power up with AC only. Power down, unplug AC and hit power button ten times.
Then install your battery pack, plug in AC and power up.
Does anyone have the video camera working on the Edge 14 (Intel)? I tried looking at the video input section gstreamer-properties. The camera is listed as 'integrated camera' and the green light turns on. However, whenever I try to run the test, all I get is a gray box. The same thing happens when I run Cheese. In the end, it would be nice to be able to use it with Skype.
I haven't been able to get it to work either (I also have an Intel Edge 14). If you want to, could you add your experiences or expand this article on thinkwiki? It would really help out other Edge users.
Actually the experiences over here are pretty much the same. I did a little more digging into the camera situation.
Location in lsusb:
Relevant section from dmesg:Code:Bus 002 Device 003: ID 17ef:4810 Lenovo
This appears to be the same camera in other laptops. I found a post with a SL510 user saying that the camera works with Arch. I did notice that the kernel version is newer (2.6.34 vs 2.6.32).Code:[ 15.767878] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Integrated Camera (17ef:4810)

Hmm... now the camera is working (probably because of an update).
anyone got the microphone e.g on skype working yet??? i've got major problems...sound is working, but not the mic.
found this bug report, but the mentioned fix does nothing for me :(
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ux/+bug/445889
the webcam works fine for me btw...
Just tried the sound recorder. No sound either :(
I got the camera working. All you have to do is left-click on the panel's sound button and select "Sound Preferences...". On the "Input" tab uncheck "Mute" and increase the "Input Volume" to 100%.
The microphone can be tested by the "Sound Recorder" (Applications->Sound & Video->Sound Recorder). Just press the record button, say something, press the stop button and then press the play button.
i wonder how come you're having problems with the webcam or microphone! to me, surprisingly everything ran out of the box! even two finger scroll and stuff runs smoother than windows 7! i'm just a bit lazy to get the pinch zoom working,.. will do it tonight!
i'd first recommend to update the system!
edge config: 0578-hnq, i5(450m), 2gb memory, 500gb hdd bla bla bla!
the only thing i couldn't geth working was the keyboard backlight!
you experience it when the little latch below is disturbed! i found it immediately when i put the machine to hibernate!
axyelp: do you have the NVLDHGE model?
looks like you have the exact same model as I have.
out of curiosity, do you use UBUNTU (with Gnome) or KUBUNTU (KDE)?
from what I've read only people with Gnome have posted their experiences....and I'm here alone struggeling with Kmix...maybe I should switch to Gnome :(
