Linux Mint 17.1 Install on Lenovo X120e

When Installing Linux specifically Mint 17.1 64-Bit (Mate Edition) on the Lenovo X120e.  Should work with any UEFI Lenovo.  (Same install with Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E535)


  • UEFI set to Both (Legacy and UEFI)
  • Drive must be MBR (MSDOS in GParted)
  • Formatted Partitions:
    • /Boot - 512 MB
    • / - The rest
    • Any other partitions are optional



Should boot right up.  Hardware works fine out of the box.  FGLRX Driver is configurable in the Hardware menu.  

UEFI and GPT seems not to work correct as what most advice is.  Spent alot of time trying to get this to work.  Follow the above and it should work fine.
