Extend the Life of Your Thinkpad's Battery (tp_smapi) Install Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) on a ThinkPad T400. Before Installation Before you can start Ubuntu from CD or USB you have to change two BIOS settings: Change to Internal or ATI Graphics with Config --> Display --> Graphics Device --> [Integrated graphics] or [Discrete Graphics] Disable OS Detection for Switchable Graphics.
Otherwise it will mysteriously switch back to Switchable Graphics. Now you can boot your Live-CD, connect to Wireless Lan, and install the OS. What works out of the box? What needs some Tweaks?

Tp_smapi is a set of kernel modules that retrieves information from and conveys commands to the hardware of many ThinkPad laptops. This information is presented through the /sys/devices/platform/smapi filesystem. Much like the /proc filesystem, you can read and write information to these files to get information about and send commands to the hardware. tp_smapi is highly recommended if you're using a supported ThinkPad laptop.
Supported Laptops First check whether your laptop is supported. Thinkwiki has a comprehensive list of all supported Thinkpads. If you are installing on a recent Thinkpad that has an Ivy Bridge processor (X230, T430, T530, etc.), tp_smapi will not work. Installation Install the tp_smapi package that recently moved to the community repository. It's providing you 3 new Kernel modules. After a reboot, tp_smapi and its dependencies will get autoloaded and the sysfs-interface under /sys/devices/platform/smapi should be fully functional. Features Control Battery Charging #! Tp smapi.
