Talk:Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (Gen 6)

Open Issues

• Issues with TrackPoint on NFC models, as noted in this bbs thread, on the Lenovo forums and on Unix StackExchange
• CPU throttling
• Inclusion of X1C6(and Thinkpads in general) into the fwupd program

Fingerprint reader

See github.com/nmikhailov/Validity90, especially the 9a branch.

Device id: 06cb:009a

Status as of 04/2018: "Init works, leds work, scan doesn't work yet"

Deep sleep (S3)

Possible solutions:

• Update of UEFI firmware to allow S3 sleep instead of Si03, i.e. an alternative BIOS for Linux users
• Making Linux play nicely with Si03, which means:
  • Activating acpi.ec_no_wakeup=1, which sacrifices the functionality of opening the lid to return from suspend
  • Fixing the SD-Card reader to consume less power in Si03
• Patching the DSDT tables as noted on delta-xi and the forums (potentially dangerous and does not play nicely with BIOS updates)
