Lenovo Thinkpad x201

I bought the Thinkpad X201i 3249-J4C on July the 14th, 2010. This model is shipped with Intel Core i3 330M @ 2.13GHz (integrated graphics chip codenamed Ironlake), 2048M main memory, Intel WiFi Link 100 Series wireless card, Intel 82577LM Gigabit Wired Network Connection, and Intel HD Audio Controller.

Graphics
Current kernel gentoo-sources 2.6.34-r1 is unable to properly initialize the internal LCD display via kernel mode-setting. According to http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2010-July/007328.html, it seems that the 0.488% tolerance used in Intel G4X PLL mode search (in ) is too tight to find a proper PLL setting. You'd be greeted with a blank screen if you enabled kms, and kms is essential for xf86-video-intel, so you'd be having no graphics.

Applying the patch on http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2010-July/007328.html solves the problem for me. You need not use the command. Just to  and edit file. Replace the following lines: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c with drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c and recompile and you get a working kernel.

My xorg.conf:

It seems that for xf86-video-intel to work you need xf86-video-fbcon as well.

Wireless Network
In-kernel driver iwlagn alone is not sufficient for Intel Wifi 100 to work. You need the firmware as well. Emerge the following:

You can now turn on wlan0:

I use wicd for wireless network management.
