FreeBSD 7.2 on the Lenovo Thinkpad X60s

I recently installed FreeBSD 7.2 on my Lenovo Thinkpad X60s. Since the X60s doesn't have any CD-ROM and I don't have any external storage media other than USB sticks, I used PXE booting to install FreeBSD over the network.

Install

I used my setup from FreeBSD on the Lenovo Thinkpad X60s and it worked flawlessly. To recapitulate:

Please remember that this configuration is meant for my internal network, 10.0.0.0/24, with the server being 10.0.0.2. Change according to your network.

Running

HW Out of the box With patches
Intel Core Duo SMP Yes
Intel 82801G audio Yes
Intel 945 graphics Yes
Firewire Yes
Bluetooth -- --
Modem No No
USB Yes
SATA Yes
SD Card Reader No No
Intel 3945ABG WLAN Yes
Gigabit Ethernet Yes
Suspend/resume No No
Fingerprint reader No* No

* The device is found and is seen as an ugen(4), so it is reachable for experiments.

I haven't tested Bluetooth at all.

See below for dmesg.

Network

The latency problems I reported with the Intel PRO/1000 em(4) in 6.1 and 6.2 are gone. No need to patch anything. Network works fine.

The Intel 3945ABG wireless LAN now works with wpi(4). It is, however, marked as experimental. Add this to /boot/loader.conf:

  legal.intel_wpi.license_ack=1
  if_wpi_load="YES"

but read /usr/share/doc/legal/intel_wpi/LICENSE before adding anything.

Make sure the hardware radio button on the front of the laptop is in the "on" position.

Reboot to load the driver or do a

  # kldload if_wpi

The handrest gets very hot when the wpi is running. I don't know if anything can be done about this.

Graphics

Graphics acceleration for the Intel 945GM is now supported by the Xorg server.

I initially tried to use an xorg.conf from Xorg -configure but didn't get anything at all on the monitor. Instead, I used the built-in miniconfiguration and expanded that to get it working.

Nota bene: The new Xorg in 7.2 works with HAL and dbus to become aware of hardware changes. This means that on a pristine FreeBSD system, you won't get any mouse or keyboard in X! To get around this, either start HAL and dbus, or add this to your xorg.conf:

  Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"
  EndSection

I don't know why this is "true" by default. I was very surprised. See the man page for xorg.conf(5) for the AllowEmptyInput keyword:

Option "AllowEmptyInput" "boolean"

If enabled, don't add the standard keyboard and mouse drivers, if there are no input devices in the config file. Enabled by default if AutoAddDevices and AutoEnableDevices is enabled, otherwise disabled. If AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using the kbd, mouse or vmmouse driver are ignored.

Then define your mouse and keyboard manually. Here's my keyboard and mouse configuration:

  Section "InputDevice"
  	Identifier  "Keyboard0"
  	Driver      "kbd"
  EndSection
  
  Section "InputDevice"
  	Identifier  "Mouse0"
  	Driver      "mouse"
  	Option	    "Protocol" "auto"
  	Option	    "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
  	Option	    "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
  EndSection

And, for completeness, the rest of my minimal xorg.conf:

  Section "ServerLayout"
  	Identifier     "MC config"
  	InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
  	InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
  	Screen	"Builtin Default intel Screen 0"
  EndSection
  
  Section "Device"
  	Identifier	"Builtin Default intel Device 0"
  	Driver	"intel"
  EndSection
  Section "Screen"
  	Identifier	"Builtin Default intel Screen 0"
  	Device	"Builtin Default intel Device 0"
  EndSection

Sound

Sound (Intel HDAC) now supported out of the box with snd_hda(4) for both output and input. Add:

  snd_hda_load="YES" 

in /boot/loader.conf and reboot to load driver or do a

  # kldload snd_hda

Use mixer(8) (or install audio/aumix or audio/xmixer) to set volume. Use

  /etc/rc.d/mixer stop

to save state for all mixers.

Power Management

The laptop suspends, but reboots on resume. As before, powerd(8) works fine.

Temperature

The machine gets rather hot, about 58 degrees around the CPU, after running a while. To see the temperature, you might want to use the kernel modules coretemp and acpi_ibm. Add to /boot/loader.conf:

  coretemp_load="YES"
  acpi_ibm_load="YES"

and reboot, or do a

  # kldload coretemp
  # kldload acpi_ibm

Now you can grep the sysctls for "tempe":

  # sysctl -a|grep tempe
  hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 53.0C
  hw.acpi.thermal.tz1.temperature: 54.0C
  dev.cpu.0.temperature: 54
  dev.cpu.1.temperature: 55
