If you purchased your laptop after a certain date, your video memory may already be 384MB. It is available from Lenovo in two forms: as a bootable CD version and a Windows executable file.
#Lenovo support drivers x120e update#
Note there is a bios update to increase reserved video memory from 64MB to 384MB.
#Lenovo support drivers x120e install#
To enable the proprietary video drivers, install fglrx. Then restart hdapsd sudo /etc/init.d/hdapsd restart Then load the tp-smapi kernel module sudo modprobe tp-smapi To enable this, install the tp-smapi-dkms and hdapsd packages. Thinkpads have an accelerometer that can sense if you drop your laptop and make the hard drive brace for impact. Note, the above was adapted from the instructions here which also include instructions for setting up mplayer with VAAPI which may or may not be relevant to Oneiric. For the version of VLC in the repositories, go to Tools > Preferences, and then under Video, select accelerated video output. Then enable video acceleration in your video player apps. Then you need to install the latest xvba-video package from Splitted Desktop. To enable GPU video acceleration, install the fglrx drivers.

You should be presented with a temporary boot menu. Next, reboot and press F12 when the ThinkPad logo appears. To install Ubuntu, first insert the boot medium into the computer. For more information see Installation From a USB Stick.Įither the 64-bit version of Ubuntu or the PAE kernel is required if you want to use more than 4GB of memory in your machine. This entails downloading the iso image for the installation CD and using USB-Creator to turn a USB flash drive or SD card into a bootable disk. Perhaps the easiest way to install K/X/Ubuntu on this machine is to make a bootable USB drive. There is much good information in this forum thread: This is a stub to list documentation for proper installation of tools and utilities for the Lenovo ThinkPad X120e lapbook.
