X61 --- Vista & Fedora 7
Last Friday, My x61 finally arrived after a long waiting--two weeks. the pre-loaded OS is VISTA HOME BASIC with some other software. I think it is NIS 2007 that makes the whole system pretty slow or maybe some other software, as you know Lenovo like to pre-install some many useless garbage in the system. Can't put up with waiting for these software uninstall, I decided to recovery the whole system from scratch and customize software which I like to install. The recovery went pretty smoothly. After about 1 hour and 20 min, automatically reboot and configure system during the whole process, a clean system comes out.
The main thing I want to try is Fedora 7.
The first step I need to do is to partition Hard drive, recommended software is AcronicDirector suit 10.
Secondly, using usb disk to install fedora 7, pretty easy.
---remember to install grub on / not MBR
and then install BCDEDIT GUI interface, recommended software is EasyBCD free. Copy grub loader i.e the first sector of / partition to a file name fedora.sec. Using EasyBCD to edit Vista boot menu to make dual boot available.
---Doesn't work
wifi Intel 4965
audio AD1984
beryl (freeze system)
Solution:
1.update system to latest kernel and wifi-firmware
2. download alsa latest driver 15rc2
./configure --with-cards=hda-intel
make & make install
3. download latest Graphic driver i965 and compile DRM,DRI,2-D and 3-D driver, recompile kernel with agppart enable . Details see intelgraphic.org
Finally, Fedora 7 with Beryl works great on X61.
(oh hotkey doesn't work)

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso.
