Linux install to ThinkPad

○X Window Systemの調整

ThinkPad i1124-53JはSVGA(800×600)表示可能なLCDを備えている。この後のモデルからXGA(1024×768)を表示できるようになったのはまた別の話。

インストール後、コマンドラインでの操作だけではなくX Window Systemを起動しようとするとうまくいかないことに気づく。これはXconfiguratorというビデオデバイスの設定ソフトがうまく動いてくれないためである。これを解決するには、XF86Configというファイルを自分の手で書き換えてやる必要がある。ちなみに、このファイルは(/etc/X11/XF86Config)にある。

XF86Config for TP i1124-53J

# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:

# XkbLayout "de"
# XkbVariant "nodeadkeys"

画面描画の高速化

ZDNetのTips for Linux に「MTRR機能を使ってXの描画を高速化させたい」
(http://www.zdnet.co.jp/help/tips/linux/l0173.html)という方法が掲載されている.

# cat /proc/cpuinfo
これを実行して表示された中のflagsという項目に,mtrrの文字が見られるかを確認する.
# ls /proc/mtrr
も確認し,mtrrファイルが存在すればMTRR機能が利用できることを意味している.これらが確認できなければ,カーネルの再構築が必要となる.

# startx 2>xlog
ログをxlogというファイルに残しつつX Windowを立ち上げる.
# cat xlog |grep Memory
(--) SVGA: PCI: Unknown vendor (0x126f) Unknown chipset (0x0712) rev 160, Memory @ 0xfd000000
表示結果の最後にあるメモリアドレスがビデオカードによって異なり,i1124-53Jでは"0xfd000000"であることが重要である.なお,VRAMの大きさは2MBであることが分かっているので,メモリサイズは0x200000である.
これをmtrrファイルに書き込んでやる.
# echo "base=0xfd000000 size=0x200000 type=write-combining" >| /proc/mtrr
X Windowを起動し直せば,極めて高速に描画されるXに驚くはずだ.

不調になったなどの理由で設定をクリアするときは次のコマンドでOKである.
# echo "disable=1" > /proc/mtrr

以上で、ThinkPad i1124-53JへのVine Linuxインストール記は完結とする。
