Lenovo X61 Tablet on Ubuntu 11.04 (64bit)

Overall

Ubuntu 11.04 installs and runs for the most part with very few issues on the 7764CTO model ( 12.1 in 1400x1040 SXVGA+ )

Screen Rotation

Screen rotation doesn't work out of the box but is easy to fix.

Download two scripts to your /usr/local/bin directory.

• wacom-rot90
• wacom-rot180

1. Make these scripts writable with 'chmod +x filename'
2. Then install 'ccsm' ( Compiz Config Settings Manager ),  and start ccsm.
3. In the General Section, open "Commands"
4. Enter as Command0 the following:
   /usr/local/bin/wacom-rot90      ( or rot180  as preferred )
   
5. On the "KeyBindings Tab",  on RunCommand 0, click the "Disabled" button.
   Then click the desired key to rotate the screen such as Blue Thinkvantage"
   
   Note: the normal rotate button doesn't work, but the Blue ThinkVantage button does.

Display Freeze after Screen Lock

Untested Fix:

1. Open 'ccsm',  General Tab,   Open GL
2. Uncheck 'Sync to vBlank'

Endian UTM OpenVPN Client

Endian does not yet have a 64 bit client but the Network Manager OpenVPN plug-in now works.

1. Install 'network-manager-openvpn' and 'network-manager-openvpn-gnome'
2. Configure using the NM applet.
3. A reference exported configuration follows:

client
remote 'OpenVPNhostname'
ca /etc/openvpn/ca.pem           'CA cert file from Endian'
auth-user-pass
comp-lzo yes
dev tap
proto udp
nobind
auth-nocache
script-security 2
persist-key
persist-tun
user openvpn
group openvpn
