Subject description: IBM Thinkpad X22		  
Thinkpad X22
384 MB Ram
800 Mhz P111
Broadcom wireless card added on minipci

Puppy versions I have run successfully
4.1
4.2.1
4.3
Browserlinux
Lupu

All ran fine with no problems setting up. Screen brightness buttons and the the little light in the top of the screen housing all work, I think these are all hardware controlled anyway.
Trackpoint (eraserhead) works on all installations I have tried and is set up on boot.
All in all, no problems to report.

Gary

Hello DM

DM was on fire! wrote:
.......Looking at the link on the Wiki (truth be told I had no clue this existed; I feel quite stupid), the Thinkpad I will be inheriting is not on there, but atleast knowing older Puppies works fine with eraserheads gives me hope. Thank you again!

No need to feel stupid.
Apart from the link in the first post of this thread,
i do not know where else it may be linked from.

Hope you have bookmarked it Wink Wink

Here's one for ya CatDude!
Got a Compaq cq61, 2+gigCPU, 2GRam, Hard dive took a dump..
I'm booting Frugal, from the micro sd card in the sprint/sierra gprs modem!
Lupu 5.20. Everything works so far. Internet connects via ethernet, wireless, or the sprint pcs Modem! Pretty peppy! I am posting this on it now.. using wireless cause sprint service is about the very worst I ever seen.... I'm positive dial-up is twice as Fast.... Seriously.
RP

Note: before I give this CQ61 back to it's owner.
For some reason the micro sd card in the sierra[Sprint] gprs modem is Not Found at Boot, Unless, the ac power adapter is Disconnected!
Tried it numerous times... with ac adapter micro sd Not Found, Without Adapter, micro sd card [puppy install] Found!
Strange, but That's what works for me! And regular USB flash drive is found Regardless!

Find "Flsynclient" in menu;

set touchpad mode to off.

Sorry about that Smile

I'm allergic to new posters that start off by using the word
"annoying".

I recently purchased an HP Pavilion DV6 laptop with Intel i7 64-bit, ATI HD 5600 1GB. I want to know which version of Puppy is the most suitable for recognition hardware. I tried to install Puppy 5.2 from the CD but does not create the lupusave file when I go out and reboot. Thanks in advance for the help.
