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 official Archlinux install 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

Graphics card
Works install xf86-video-intel
pacman -S xf86-video-intel
Configure xorg with:
X -configure
You can get my Xorg.conf here Lenovo Thinkpad X60 Tablet SXGA+ xorg.conf
Stylus
You can get the stylus to work by installing linuxwacom. Find the latest in AUR
Add the following sections to your xorg.conf to make it 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 "KeepShape" "on"
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
Option "BottomY" "18432"
Option "BottomX" "24576"

Also add the following if X -configure does not do it:
Section "Monitor"
DisplaySize 245 18
...
EndSection
Automatic rotation
Refer to Acpi Hotkeys on how to edit handler.sh.
I've written a set of small scripts to help rotating the screen if the screen is swiveled down, up and when the rotate button is pressed.
Automatic rotation needs acpi daemon in order to work. Install it:
pacman -S acpid
Now start the daemon and put it in your /etc/rc.conf under daemons.
/etc/rc.d/acpid start
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
;;
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:
chmod +x /etc/acpi/actions/swivel*
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 with chmod +x and create a .xbindkeysrc file in your home directory, with the following content:
"/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.
You might also want to take a look at this rotate script written by Luke
Trackpoint
Works, if you want to scroll while holding the middle mouse button down you can add the following to an .fdi file:
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-trackpoint-mw.fdi:
<match key="info.product" contains="TrackPoint"> <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheel" type="string">true</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelButton" type="string">2</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.ZAxisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.Emulate3Buttons" type="string">true</merge> </match
What it does is that it sets emulates wheel on button two, which is middle button and maps in what directions it will emulate the scroll wheel, it will at the same time emulate 3 mouse buttons.
You can read more about the new Xorg input hotplugging here
ThinkFinger
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.conf to make the thinkpad_acpi module load with some special options:
/etc/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
