Battery Conservation Mode on IdeaPad laptops and Others
Battery Conservation Mode is a feature that limits battery charging to 55-60% of its capacity to improve battery life, being most useful when the laptop tends to run on external power much of the time. This works on many Lenovo laptops like IdeaPad and Thinkbook series. To check if your laptop is supported, try to set the battery conservation mode in the Vantage app on Windows. If it works on Windows, it can be enabled or disabled on Linux in the following manner:
- First make sure the ideapad_laptop kernel module is loaded, with the
lsmod
command. - If it is, run the following command as root to enable Battery Conservation Mode:
# echo 1 >/sys/bus/platform/drivers/ideapad_acpi/VPC2004:00/conservation_mode
- A 0 will in turn disable the feature.
- Both the presence and implementation of this feature vary by model. Particularly, the name of the folder VPC2004:00 could differ.
- If the above does not work on your laptop, you can try a different method described here, which may require some (further) trial and error.

Troubleshooting
ThinkPad E485
Missing IVRS map in ACPI Table, add amd_iommu=pt ivrs_ioapic[32]=00:14.0
in kernel parameters. In order to get X to work correctly, add iommu=soft
in kernel parameters (Linux 4.20 only). On Linux 5.2, add iommu=pt
to prevent render artifacts on X. In order to get microsd (SDHCI) working, echo 'options sdhci debug_quirks2="0x8000"' > /etc/modprobe.d/sdhci.conf
and change module load order MODULES=(sdhci sdhci_pci)
in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
(line 7). Do not forget to run mkinitcpio -p linux
afterwards. If WiFi does not work on RTL8822BE adapter models, create a file /etc/modprobe.d/wifi.conf
and add the following lines: blacklist rtw_pci
. Then, install rtw88-dkms-gitAUR and reboot.
blacklist rtwpci
ThinkPad E585
To solve all these issues mentioned here easier just install the latest BIOS update from Lenovo support website. Missing IVRS map in ACPI Table, add amd_iommu=pt ivrs_ioapic[32]=00:14.0
in kernel parameters. In order to get X to work correctly, add iommu=soft
in kernel parameters (Linux 4.20 only). In order to get microsd (SDHCI) working, echo 'options sdhci debug_quirks2="0x8000"' > /etc/modprobe.d/sdhci.conf
and change module load order MODULES=(sdhci sdhci_pci)
in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
(line 7). Do not forget to run mkinitcpio -p linux
afterwards. Bluetooth does not work until a suspend/resume cycle occurs.
ThinkPad E595
Update the bios, if missing IVRS map in ACPI Table.
Bios update can help if Ethernet is not working.
MicroSD does not work out of the box, see above (Lenovo ThinkPad E585) to fix it.
Wake up from suspend broken on X.Org with kernel >= 5.2; works with kernel >= 5.6
Add acpi_backlight=vendor
in kernel parameters to fix systemd warning Failed to start Load/Save Screen Backlight Brightness of backlight:acpi_video0
ThinkPad E15 Gen 2
Resume from hibernate will not work until intel_lpss_pci
is added to MODULES()
in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
. See Power management/Suspend and hibernate#Suspend/hibernate does not work, or does not work consistently for details.
The trackpoint and physical buttons will stop working after resuming from hibernate. Use modprobe -r psmouse
followed by modprobe psmouse
to get the functionailty back
Fingerprint reader is unsupported. Neither fprintd
nor libfprintd-tod
will work.
If the Fn keys do not work, to update the BIOS, download the "Bootable CD" of the BIOS Update, and use geteltoritoAUR to extract the .img from the .iso with geteltorito.pl -o bios.img downloaded.iso
, then use etcher / mintstickAUR / dd to make a bootable USB. See [1] for details.
ThinkPad T440p
- ClickPad: the whole trackpad clicks, and disabling the trackpad using older versions of synclient makes the trackpoint essentially unusable. This has been resolved in newer versions of xf86-input-synaptics.
- See [2] and its previous version, [3].
- Install xf86-input-mtrackAUR for alternative drivers.
- Audio:
- HDMI audio is the default audio output device. Consult the ALSA page for details on changing the default.
- As the X100e/Mini10, it's possible to mute the headset and speaker outputs separately to the master. Muting the speaker output improves bass output on the headset port.
- If the system fails to wake from sleep, it can lose sync with the internal audio card and speakers/headphones may fail to work. In this case, put the system to sleep, and wake it again and audio functionality should be restored.
- The fingerprint sensor is a Validity VFS5011, available in fprint.
- thinkpad_acpi:
- To toggle Fn-Lock, press Fn + Esc, this will toggle the LED on the keyboard. While the Fn LED is on all Fn functionalities work as intended out of the box.
- Controlling the 'glowing I' LED is apparently not possible.
- fan control does not seem to work.
- Graphics and Video:
- With the integrated GPU, xrandr can crash while attaching or detaching displays connected via the dock.
- The built-in miniDisplayPort will sometimes spew I²C issues into the kernel log.
- Hardware video acceleration is highly recommended as it performs significantly better than CPU decoding of large media files.
- The BIOS should not be upgraded past version 1.14, as newer BIOSes cause memory corruption when used with Bumblebee. See Bumblebee GitHub
- Connectivity:
- Bluetooth is extremely fragile. The controller works fine most of the time, but can cause the system to wedge totally on sleep/wake cycles, especially if a connection was active at sleep. Disable the controller using
bluetoothctl
before sleeping.

Panel Self-Refresh (PSR) can cause the screen to randomly freeze every few minutes. This can be fixed by disabling PSR.

The subwoofer needs https://gist.github.com/BXZ/48cd8173807676a1402cf4bc7928c0c0 to get it working.

Passing pci=nocrs as kernel parameter fixes the touchpad. Unfortunately this also disabled my wifi(it was seen by iwctl but never presented a station no matter what i did). I see others online also have this problem(various posts on stackexchange etc). I finally managed to fix it by also passing pci=realloc so the full line is:
pci=nocrs pci=realloc
for getting both wifi and touchpad working.
Note: I am using refind as boot manager(holy cow so much more straight-forward and less confusing than grub2) and i seem to recall being unable to boot with pci=realloc using grub2. This could just be me dreaming though so it probably bears testing first.
Everything else works, except the brightness keys -- which sometimes work, and sometimes do not. I have not figured out in which instance they work or not yet.

- UEFI:
- to be able to disable Secure Boot (necessary for dual boot, not needed for Linux only), you have to switch from "UEFI first" to "UEFI only" (or something like this) in UEFI setup menu; the Secure Boot option appears then on the Security tab
- after UEFI update having Linux and Windows installed, the Linux bootloader ceased to be the default one, UEFI started to load Windows by default and it was impossible to select the Linux one in the UEFI boot menu and in the UEFI setup - reinstalling the bootloader helped; having no access to a boot media that supports UEFI, a solution might be also replacing the Windows EFI bootloader file with a Linux one temporalily, in order to be able to boot Linux from HDD
- for the UEFI update, a Windows OS is needed
- Touchpad:
- Synaptics - works after installing Synaptics drivers from repo, possible to change behaviour (like reaction for double tap) according to your wish
- Video:
- in laptops with dual video card (Intel and ATI) - detects both, Intel is active as a default, not checked if it's possible at all to switch between them
Operation with a HDD caddy
When you install an SSD in the place of the plate HDD drive and you want to have your HDD still inside the laptop, it is possible to install it in the place of the optical drive in a special "HDD caddy". The optical drive is of 9 mm height, but a 9,5 mm caddy (ultra slim) fits in the slot. A caddy with a SATA interface is needed. It is difficult to separate the front bezel from the original optical drive (and opening its case does not help, but brings a danger of making a mess in the opening mechanism; the only option is just to pull the bezel using a bit of force, but you risk breaking the latches).
While the HDD installed instead of the optical drive operates flawlessly in Windows, it was not going to work out of the box in Linux, at least in one case. The kernel tries to establish a connection with the disk, but fails to do it (SATA link down entry in /var/log/messages). The solution is to force a 1.5 Gbps transfer speed (instead of 6 Gbps) by adding a libata.force= kernel parameter. See [4] for details.

Sound: You may have to append options snd_hda_intel model=lenovo
to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
for sound to work.

There is an issue with tpacpi-bat not reporting the right value for the stop threshold. This seems to be related to a buggy BIOS and can not be fixed application wise.
