This page provides information for the Gen 6 and Gen 7 version of the Intel-equipped Yoga 7 laptops.
Many of these points mentioned here should also be applicable to Gen 8 versions. See Lenovo Yoga 7i Gen 8 (16IRL8) for details on one specific Yoga 7i Gen 8 model.
Installation
If you see Possibly missing firmware for module xhci_pci
when you run mkinitcpio, you can safely ignore the message as this laptop does not have a Renesas USB3 controller. See Mkinitcpio#Possibly missing firmware for module XXXX for details.
Accessibility
The speakers do not work out of the box (see below), so in particular speech-aided installation is not possible.
Power management
Control Power Saving Modes
Install power-profiles-daemon and then enable/start power-profiles-daemon.service
.
Desktop environments will then detect support for it.
Activating S3 sleep
In order to support "Windows Modern Standby", the BIOS does not advertise S3 sleep (suspend to RAM), as discussed in detail in this forum post.

- The key is visible to
xev
and similar tools - The physical key has a symbol on it, which describes its function
- systemd-logind handles this by default
Brightness keys
The brightness hotkeys only emit signals after resuming from suspend-to-RAM or hibernation, but not after (re)booting. This is because they depend on initialization by an ACPI method which is called when resuming from a sleep state but not on boot.
This should be fixed in kernel 6.2.x: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214899
Speaker audio
Install all the packages listed by ALSA firmware.
If your speakers sound tinny due to ALSA only using the tweeters, use the snd-sof-intel-hda-common hda_model=alc287-yoga9-bass-spk-pin
kernel module parameter.
Tablet PC
Install iio-sensor-proxy to get the accelerometer working and enable support for screen rotation in Destop Environments such as GNOME or KDE.
Check out Tablet PC for more information.
GNOME Screen Rotation
Fingerprint reader
There is experimental support for the Goodix 55b4 fingerprint reader this laptop ships with. Thanks to the Goodix Fingerprint Discord.
To get it working:
- Install fprintd and libfprint-goodixtls-55x4AUR
- Follow the instructions at https://github.com/goodix-fp-linux-dev/goodix-fp-dump#how-to-use-it to reflash the firmware of the fingerprint reader
- Start the fprintd service for the first time and enroll fingerprints in your DE or following instructions in fprint
There is a known issue with this experimental driver where sometimes after a long sleep mode period you will need to restart the fprintd service to get it working again.
Screen flickering
If you see screen flickering or stuttering, follow the instructions at Intel graphics#Screen flickering.
