The Lenovo S10-3t IdeaPads were given to attendees of the MeeGo Conference 2010 (Thanks Intel and Nokia!). This page aims to collect issues, solutions and hacks by the MeeGo Community for this device. It is mostly collected from the Lenovo S10-3t improvements thread on MeeGo Forums.

Contents

Major issues

It seems that some users get their wifi (and bluetooth) disabled and/or the battery status. There is some talk going on these two links, with work around that may or may not work. For the atheros folks it worked but the ones with broadcom it didn't.

Minor issues

  • Headphone jack doesn't work Bug report
    • Workaround: Add options snd-hda-intel model="olpc-xo-1_5" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and reboot
    • Solution: none yet

Using the Ideapad with MeeGo

Finger scrolling with Chromium

The ChromeTouch extension enables kinetic scrolling with the browser and the touch screen.

Finger scrolling with Firefox

Firefox has a similar add-on: Grab and Drag

On-screen keyboard

See the following resources

Software Setup

The MeeGo 1.0 Netbook FAQ has resources on

  • Application installation
  • Dropbox
  • Skype
  • Codecs
  • Changing keyboard layout post-install (since some of us accidently set it to US rather than UK)
  • fennec-qt (Firefox Mobile)
    • For fullscreen run: fennec -target slate

Hardware Configuration

Chipset listing (for Windows Drivers)

Touchpad

Taps are accepted as mouse presses but not the bottom left and right clicks, see bug report

To enable RMB in the RightBottom corner of the touchpad issue the following command:

synclient RBCornerButton=3

To make it permanent edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-input-synaptics.conf to:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "synaptics"
    MatchIsTouchpad "true"
    Driver "synaptics"
    Option "RBCornerButton" "3"
EndSection

Accelerometer

The Ideapad has a two axis accelerometer located in the keyboard part. Under Windows it is accessed through the APS software and used for screen rotation and parking the hard-drive under shock conditions. APS is widely used on Thinkpads and the Ideapad appears to have the same type of accelerometer. Accelerometer values are read through an ACPI/BIOS interface. Linux support for this device is normally provided by the tp_smapi driver, however, it has no support for the Ideapad BIOS.

3G
