I will be buying a X220 soon and have some questions:
1. Which wireless has better support?
ThinkPad 11b/g/n Wireless (Realtek RTL8192SE / RTL8188CE)
Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000
2. I've read bad reviews about webcam having poor quality on GNU/Linux, so
I would assume it will be the same on FreeBSD with webcamd and not worth
the $30? (which also frees up space for 3x3 antenna)
3. Any disadvantages in usage for turning off the UEFI?
4. How far is the AMD64 kernel suspend/resume? What do you mean by video
doesn't resume?
5. I'll be getting the IPS screen and want to make sure all the brightness
issues won't f it up. Is there yet a working way to control brightness
without interrupting the fan?
Hi Любомир,
i'll be answering the 1,2 questions from my experience with the X220:
I bought my X220 with the Realtek wireless and the webcam.
I tried running -CURRENT a couple of months ago, (just after the bump to
10-CURRENT) but the wifi was a no-go, so yeah, I'd suggest getting the
intel adapter too.
As for the camera, I've been running Arch linux, and the performance
(resolution, refresh rate) have been fine, as far as I know at least.
I've used it for some skype conferencing and it worked fine. No
flickering, no issues at all. Without knowing about the webcamd
compatibility of the specific model, I am happy about choosing the
camera instead of the antenna, as I never have any problems connecting
to my access point, even when I am far away with 4-5 walls in between.
As for the rest, I can't comment on, as I did not install freebsd at
all, and as such I did not test the other parts. The wireless was a big
issue for me you see.
just my 0.02$
