N00b: LM 18.2 on Thinkpad Helix

Post by vap0rtranz »

Just installed LM 18.2 on my aging Thinkpad Helix and wanted to 1) say thank you! :) and 2) share what's working. If you're not familiar with why I thought there'd be issues, the Helix was one of Thinkpads first "convertable" tablet+laptops with detachable keyboard dock. Windows 8 had shipped with tons of Lenovo "bloat" drivers to get it all working.

Working:
  • Touchpad
    Trackpoint
    Keyboard rocker buttons (Volume, Brightness)
    Webcam (front & back)
    Bluetooth
    Wifi
    Audio (jack & speakers)
    KVM (hardware virt)
Not (yet) working:
  • Accelerometer screen rotate
    Multitouch digitizer

Code: Select all
