This article covers specific configuration of this laptop. Currently based on experience with BIOS F.13.
Installation
Disable Secure Boot in the UEFI (ESC
to bring up menu, then F10
for UEFI and/or F9
for Boot options) and follow the installation guide as usual.
Display
See HiDPI.
Backlight
OLED panels do not have backlight, they get dimmed via PWM. With kernel 5.7+ you can use the i915.enable_dpcd_backlight=1
option to make backlight controls work natively. This option may not be needed on future kernels.
On older kernels you will have to use icc-brightness
(see Backlight#Color correction) and let it manage color profiles.
Color profile
A calibrated ICC color profile is available from NotebookCheck.net in the Display section of the article (direct link).
Auto Rotation
Installing iio-sensor-proxy works out of the box on Gnome. See Tablet PC#Automatic rotation for more details.
Audio
This laptop requires firmware in order for the soundcard to work. See Advanced Linux Sound Architecture#ALSA firmware.
This laptop has a Realtek ALC285 codec with a 2 speaker system and digital microphone array built in.
Mute LEDs
Mute LEDs on the keyboard for the speakers and the microphone are not working. An experimental kernel patch is available to manually control the mic mute LED only.
Fingerprint Reader
Not supported yet.
IR Camera Login
Works with Howdy configured to use /dev/video2
.
HP Tilt Pen
As of June 2020 the HP Tilt Pen is supported by the development version of libwacom. You can still apply the changes manually.
Pressure sensitivity and tilt to erase are working, but the buttons on the pen are not correctly mapped. When put into presentation mode it is recognized as a Bluetooth mouse but it does not move the cursor or emit events.
