Accessibility
The BIOS offers two modes of operation,
GUI
and
Simple Text
.
The GUI can be navigated to some degree via the keyboard.
Left
and
Right
arrow keys to move the selection and
Space
to activate.
For full keyboard support switching to simple text would likely be better.
That can be accomplished by:
Selecting and activating
Config
on the left side under
Setup
Right
arrowing until the drop down to the right of
Setup UI
is selected
active the drop down and select
Simple Text
F10
(save and exit)
Note

Brightness control
As of kernel 5.9 use the native brightness controller, use the
acpi_backlight=native
kernel parameter
.
Audio
PulseAudio seems to work fine without manual intervention, but the ALSA audio device chosen by default may not be correct. You may need to change the default device.
/etc/asound.conf
defaults.pcm.card 2
defaults.ctl.card 2
You should remember to
unmute the volume
.
Webcam
If the integrated webcam is not accessible as
/dev/video*
and does not appear in the output of
lsusb
, installing
upd72020x-fw
AUR
may help.
Firmware
fwupd
supports this device.
UEFI
It is recommended to run the latest UEFI version, which is currently 1.52.
Instead of using fwupd to update BIOS, the "BIOS update" can be downloaded as an
ISO image
from the
X13 support page
and loaded to a USB stick.
Additionally, there is a UEFI option for customizing the Power profile that by default is tuned to
Windows 10
and is recommended to be set to
Linux
. This setting has been shown to reduce issues with
#Power Management
.
Note
According to
Lenovo
, the Windows mode may be preferred even under Linux.
Power Management
Various issues have been reported with resuming from suspend. In order to mitigate them follow the best practices described in
#UEFI
.
On systems that use full-disk encryption with sd-encrypt it might be preferred to switch to using the
encrypt
mkinitcpio hook.
