Hardware drivers for Thinkpad X220 after base install

[Kaya Saman]

Hi,

I performed a base install of Fedora 16 64bit for my Lenovo X220.

After testing the old F15 Live CD everything pretty much worked out of the box.

I then went on to doing a base-install in order to save space since I only have an 11GB partiton as I want to use the machine mainly for VirtualBox and testing so the bulk of the space went there.

Can anyone help me out with the drivers??

I've got the majority {I think}, however, sound is not working.

I did install ALSA on the box as I don't like Pulse Audio and see no reason to use it if ALSA does the job for me.

Here is the lspci:

Also dmesg for sound:

I know that the wireless is working already, am not sure about the WWAN card though:

Can anyone give me a hand or a point in the right direction?

Ok seems like a lot of the issues I'm having are to do with group associattons as logging into to Gnome with root user had everything enabled.

I just wonder which groups I need to access all peripheral devices?

Right well that's been interesting.... I've managed to fix the sound issue

I added my user to the following groups currently:

groups kaya
kaya : kaya daemon sys audio cdrom dbus usbmuxd jackuser pulse pulse-access

Now audio works....


Does anyone know how to get the new Gnome3 look back without using GDM??

Currently my system is setup to login to CLI probably init runtime 3 which if I recall correclty is multi-user no GUI mode. That suites my purposes for now not to activate GDM.

At the beginning I was logged into the new look but then as my user wasn't setup properly it said I don't have the hardware to run it and automatically disabled it somehow. I've been reading on Google which only shows the GDM way to active/deactivate the modern Gnome environment.


Can anyone help out at all????
