T430U on LMDE UP 6
Posted: Tue Feb 19, 2013 12:17 am
Greetings all!
I've got one rather frustrating thing, and then a couple of "if you know how to do it" things to attach.
Specs : I've got LMDE UP 6 installed on my Thinkpad T430U. Its a system running an i5-3427U proc, 16GB DDR3 PC3-1600, Intel HD4000 graphics (Ivy Bridge GT2) and a UM77 chipset. Running a Samsung 840 Pro 250GB SATA3 SSD. Was running bios rev 2.02, just noticed 2.06 is out, so while I am still posting this, I will try it out.
1st and most prominent - I having trouble with the system randomly freezing. If there is sound playing, it just loops a second or so of audio. If there is no sound, it just freezes. Either way, mouse is gone, dead in the water. System does not appear to be even warm, so I don;'t think it is thermal? Where do I begin to try and figure out why its locking up? It happens a couple times a day.
Bonus # 1 - System has a Upek fingerprint reader. 147e:1002. Any idea how to install a driver? I've found some, but they seem to be on old abandoned projects.
Bonus # 2 - How do I tell if the system is detecting the battery properly? Under system profile it lists no battery present.
Bonus # 3 - System appears to recognize the trackpad (Syn PS2 Synaptics trackpad) just fine, as with the trackpoint (TPPS/2 IBM Trackpoint). I can't seem to use the scroll button on the trackpad (dedicated button between the L & R buttons) or any gestures (scroll up down on trackpad, etc). Any idea where to look for that?
Thats it I believe!
Thanks guys... a beautiful system!
