Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet
Installation instructions for the Lenovo Thinkpad X60 Tablet.
Pre installation notes
Remember to back up the restore partition if you plan to restore to Microsoft Windows, or even leave it.
As the laptop does not have a built-in CD/DVD drive you might have to use a USB stick or similar device. Look in this how to install from USB stick for more information.
Follow the Installation guide
Accessing the recovery partition with GRUB
Edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file and add the following:
# booting "Rescue and Recovery" partition from Lenovo title Thinkpad Maintenance unhide (hd0,0) rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1
Configuration
Graphics card
See Intel graphics.
Stylus
You can get the stylus to work by installing xf86-input-wacom.
Add the following sections to your xorg.conf if it does not work:
Section "ServerLayout"
...
InputDevice "Cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "Stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "Eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
...
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Cursor"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "Type" "cursor"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
Option "KeepShape" "on"
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
Option "BottomY" "18432"
Option "BottomX" "24576"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Stylus"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
Option "KeepShape" "on"
Option "TPCButton" "off"
Option "BottomY" "18432"
Option "BottomX" "24576"
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Eraser"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "Type" "eraser"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
Option "KeepShape" "on"
Option "BottomY" "18432"
Option "BottomX" "24576"
EndSection
Also add the following if X -configure does not do it:
Section "Monitor"
DisplaySize 245 18
...
EndSection
Automatic rotation
Refer to acpid on how to edit handler.sh.
Now you should be able to grab events with acpi_listen. My tablet creates the following events when swivelling it down:
ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00005009
When swiveling up:
ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000500a
Now we can edit our /etc/acpi/handler.sh to grab these events when they occur. Add the following under case "$1" somewhere:
ibm/hotkey)
case "$2" in
HKEY)
case "$4" in
00005009)
#Swiveling down
/bin/sh /etc/acpi/actions/swivel-down
;;
0000500a)
#Swiveling up
/bin/sh /etc/acpi/actions/swivel-up
;;
esac
;;
esac

If you are using HAL for configuring your Xorg you will need to get the device names used by xsetwacom. If you are using the xorg.conf from above you can leave the device names as they are.
xsetwacom --list dev
Will give you something like this:
PnP Device (WACf008) eraser ERASER PnP Device (WACf008) touch TOUCH PnP Device (WACf008) STYLUS
You will just need to cut off the all caps identifier at the end. So the device name for the eraser in the example above would be:
PnP Device (WACf008) eraser
Now create the files specified in handler.sh.
/etc/acpi/actions/swivel-down:
#!/bin/bash /usr/bin/xrandr -o inverted xsetwacom set "Stylus" Rotate half xsetwacom set "Cursor" Rotate half xsetwacom set "Eraser" Rotate half
/etc/acpi/actions/swivel-up:
#!/bin/bash /usr/bin/xrandr -o normal xsetwacom set "Stylus" Rotate none xsetwacom set "Cursor" Rotate none xsetwacom set "Eraser" Rotate none
Make them executable.
Now we only need to set up the rotate button, which can be done by finding out what X event it creates when it is pressed. You can use xev to find out:
xev | grep keycode
Now press the rotate button a couple of times and it should give you a keycode. The one for mine was 199.
state 0x0, keycode 199 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES
Create a file in your home directory called .Xmodmap, this file should contain:
keycode 199 = F19
Before we go any further we have to put the following rotate script somewhere, it could be in your home directory, or maybe in /usr/local/bin/:
#!/bin/bash
# This is a script that toggles rotation of the screen through xrandr,
# and also toggles rotation of the stylus, eraser and cursor through xsetwacom
# Check orientation
orientation=`xrandr --verbose -q | grep LVDS | awk '{print $5}'`
# Rotate the screen and stylus, eraser and cursor, according to your preferences.
if [ "$orientation" = "normal" ]; then
/usr/bin/xrandr -o right
xsetwacom set "Stylus" Rotate cw
xsetwacom set "Cursor" Rotate cw
xsetwacom set "Eraser" Rotate cw
elif [ "$orientation" = "inverted" ]; then
/usr/bin/xrandr -o left
xsetwacom set "Stylus" Rotate ccw
xsetwacom set "Cursor" Rotate ccw
xsetwacom set "Eraser" Rotate ccw
elif [ "$orientation" = "right" ]; then
/usr/bin/xrandr -o inverted
xsetwacom set "Stylus" Rotate half
xsetwacom set "Cursor" Rotate half
xsetwacom set "Eraser" Rotate half
elif [ "$orientation" = "left" ]; then
/usr/bin/xrandr -o normal
xsetwacom set "Stylus" Rotate none
xsetwacom set "Cursor" Rotate none
xsetwacom set "Eraser" Rotate none
fi
Make the file executable and create
~/.xbindkeysrc
"/path/to/rotatescript" F19
Run:
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap xbindkeys /etc/rc.d/acpid restart
Now rotate button and when you swivel the screen down and up it should rotate.
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap xbindkeysEvery time you start Xorg.

Works, read ThinkFinger for reference and examples.
Backlight
To make backlight buttons turn the backlight turn up and down you can do the following.
First edit /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf to make the thinkpad_acpi module load with some special options:
/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf:
options thinkpad_acpi brightness_enable=1 hotkey=enable,0xffffff
Restart acpid and grab the events they key combinations make with acpi_listen:
/etc/rc.d/acpid restart acpi_listen
The backlight down button on my machine creates:
ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001010
backlight up button creates:
ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001011
Edit /etc/acpi/handler.sh:
ibm/hotkey)
case "$2" in
HKEY)
case "$4" in
00001010)
# backlight down
# Check current state
typeset -i state=`cat /sys/class/backlight/thinkpad_screen/brightness`
# Subtract one from the current state and echo it to the file
down=$((state-=1))
echo "$down" > /sys/class/backlight/thinkpad_screen/brightness
;;
00001011)
# backlight up
# Check current state
typeset -i state=`cat /sys/class/backlight/thinkpad_screen/brightness`
# Add one to the current state and echo it to the file
state+=1
echo "$state" > /sys/class/backlight/thinkpad_screen/brightness
;;
Restart acpid:
/etc/rc.d/acpid restart
