Mandriva 2009 on Thinkpad W500

I installed Mandriva 2009 on my new Thinkpad W500, and share my experience here with Linux fans.

 

What works:

. X.org works without problem (I used KDE 4.1 and Gnome)

. Wifi 5300

. Bluetooth

. Touchpad and Track point

 

Things that need further investigation:

 . Fingerprint

 . Webcam

 . Mic

 . Suspend to Ram on KDE

 

I will capture some screenshots later and link them here.

Hello
Thank you for sharing your experience with mandriva.
I have a W500 with mandriva, the trackpoint scrolling does not work, I have a problem with the video, my screen freeze. I use the Intel drivers.
could you post your xorg please.

Thank you.
