## Hardware

My notebook is a Lenovo 3354ALG/3354ALG, BIOS H3ET65WW(1.02) 09/12/2012 with a Core i3-3110M CPU, memory upgraded to 2x4GB and I've instantly replaced the 320GB hdd with a 64GB Crucial m4 slim(!) SSD.

Using **kernel 3.7.2**

| Ethernet | Yes |
| Wireless (Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 (rev c4) | Yes (but a bit slower than expected, not above 150 MBit/s) |
| Bluetooth | Yes |
| Audio | Yes |
| Camera | Yes |
| Card Reader | Yes |
| USB 2.0 | Yes - see below |
| USB 3.0 | Yes |

## Configuration

### Clickpad

worked out of the box for my with xf86-input-synaptics 1.6.2-4

In some cases it is necessary to add the following to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-touchpad.conf

```
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "touchpad"
        MatchProduct "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
        Driver "synaptics"
        # fix touchpad resolution
        Option "VertResolution" "100"
        Option "HorizResolution" "65"
        # disable synaptics driver pointer acceleration
        Option "MinSpeed" "1"
        Option "MaxSpeed" "1"
        # tweak the X-server pointer acceleration
        Option "AccelerationProfile" "2"
        Option "AdaptiveDeceleration" "16"
        Option "ConstantDeceleration" "16"
        Option "VelocityScale" "32"
EndSection

```

### Jumping cursor on touchpad release

I struggled with jumping cursor when releasing the finger, making it impossible to hit small objects. It was solved with synclient FingerHigh/Low:

```
synclient FingerHigh=40
synclient FingerLow=40
```

### Video

See [Intel graphics](/index.php/Intel_graphics "Intel graphics").

### Wireless

#### Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 (rev c4)

Works out of the box. Module: **iwldvm**

### Sound

Works out of the box. Kernel module: `snd_hda_intel`

### Webcam

Works out of the box (tested using [cheese](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=cheese))

### Power

Suspend works out of the box. Hibernate works using pm-utils (see [Suspend and hibernate#Kernel](/index.php/Suspend_and_hibernate#Kernel "Suspend and hibernate")). [Uswsusp](/index.php/Uswsusp "Uswsusp") was not tested

## Troubleshooting

### Brightness control

Brightness can only be switched between darkest and brightest values using OS method. The fix is to make the `thinkpad-acpi` kernel module control it: append `thinkpad-acpi.brightness_enable=1 acpi.brightness_switch_enabled=0` to the kernel line in the bootloader.

### USB 2.0 not working or giving kernel traces

Not sure if this was solved by using `acpi_backlight=vendor` or by blacklisting these modules I do not use:

```
cat /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf 
blacklist joydev
blacklist pcspkr
blacklist iTCO_vendor_support
blacklist iTCO_wdt

blacklist thinkpad_acpi # it not used by this model and gives warnings about unknown events to the logfiles when loaded.

```
