Things that work: Graphics (full 3d support), a number of the hotkeys, wifi, screen brightness adjustment, sound/volume.
I have been able to get CPU scaling, tap to click (with the trackpoint), and middle mouse button scroll to all work fine. I am still working on getting suspend/hibernate/sleep to work, and hotkeys working (although a surprising number work right away).
If anyone has anything related to using Gutsy to ask/share/talk about that would be great.
I have been working on a list of how to get some things working (with intent to post in the Ubuntu forums) and I hope it might be of use to someone here.
1. Install ondemand frequencey governor, which modulates your CPU frequency (saving battery and reducing heat).
Code: Select all
(1) sudo modprobe acpi-cpufreq
(2) sudo modprobe cpufreq_ondemand
(3) sudo aptitude install sysfsutils
(4) sudo -s
(5) echo "devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor=ondemand" >> /etc/sysfs.conf
(6) reboot

2. Enable CPU frequency scaling. Doing this will give you the option to scale your CPU yourself (ondemand will modulate your CPU by default if you dont change it manually).
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets

3. Getting tap to click to work with a trackpoint.
Code: Select all
sudo -s
echo -n 1 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/press_to_select
Code: Select all
sudo aptitude install sysfsutils
Code: Select all
devices/platform/i8042/serio1/press_to_select=1
Code: Select all
sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
Code: Select all
echo -n 1 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/press_to_select
4. Getting middle mouse button scroll to work.
Replace the mouse entry of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf with the following (its a good idea to back up your xorg.conf before making any changes):
Code: Select all
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" # IMPS/2 is not recommend for TrackPoints
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "EmulateWheel" "on"
Option "EmulateWheelTimeout" "200"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
EndSection

Note: This will also cause you to page back and fourth (at least within Firefox) when any pressure is put left or right. You can prevent this by changing some values in about:config in Firefox.
enter about:config into the address bar. Then change the values of the following to these:
mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action = 0;
mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.numlines = 1;

5. Enabling Compiz Fusion with Intel X3100 graphics
Add this line:
Code: Select all
SKIP_CHECKS=yes
Code: Select all
sudo gedit /etc/xdg/compiz/compiz-manager
You will have to have the compiz settings manager installed (search the synaptic package manager) to get the extra compiz options, it will add a new custom option to your appearance settings.
