The Fujitsu LifeBook T5010 is a convertible tablet PC.
Contents
Hardware
Integrated Graphics
The Intel integrated graphics chip works very well with the official drivers. Manual configuration should not be necessary.
Touchpad
The Synaptics touchpad works out of the box with no problems. There are additional packages to add support for things like multi-touch, but I have found them unnecessarily. Two-finger scrolling and side-scrolling are configurable in the GNOME Control Center.
Tablet
The integrated Wacom tablet should work out of the box on most distributions, including Fedora and Ubuntu. On Arch Linux, xf86-input-wacom must be installed from extra to enable the tablet functionality. Manual configuration should not be necessary.
Multi-touch
Newer models of this laptop have multi-touch support on the display in addition to the tablet. Support is as of yet untested on Linux.
Card Reader
SD cards are supported on the integrated card reader out of the box on the mainline kernel in all recent distros. Memory Stick support is not currently available.
HDMI
The optional port replicator has an HDMI out port that works quite well. Video output can be configured through xrandr or a frontend (such as the GNOME Control Center). PulseAudio can be configured to output audio through the port as well.
Integrated Microphones
The two integrated microphones located above the keyboard are detected by ALSA and show up in the PulseAudio configuration, but are not functional by default. External microphones are unaffected by this issue. To fix this problem, create a file /etc/modprobe.d/fujitsu.conf and place this in the file:
options snd_hda_intel model=fujitsu
After rebooting, your microphones should now work properly.
Buttons
There is an unofficial driver for the the buttons located directly below the screen, but it has not yet been tested.
Wifi
The Intel Ultimate N Wifi Link 5300 that comes with this computer is supported by the iwlwifi module. Some users have reported difficulty with some access points on the Virginia Tech network due to a firmware bug with the chipset; mutantmonkey is developing a workaround.
Potential Problems
Brightness Control
If you are using the GNOME Power Manager, you may find that the brightness control does not work correctly. I believe this is due to GNOME treating the brightness value as floating-point rather than an integer. Removing GNOME Power Manager has completely solved this issue for me.
Kernel Panics
Some users of this laptop have reported kernel panics when resuming from suspend with kernel 2.6.38. This is a regression that may be related to either the fujitsu-laptop or tpm kernel modules. This does not appear to be an issue on kernel 2.6.39 or later.
Shutdown Issues
If your machine does not power off after you shut it down while on battery, this is likely related to a bug in the e1000e kernel module. This can be solved by adding the following to /etc/rc.local.shutdown:
rmmod e1000e
