Lenovo X1 Carbon ¶
The Lenovo X1 Carbon (Gen 6) is fairly well supported by 9front, but it has some annoyances.
- The built-in Wi-Fi works (see Wi-Fi), but is very slow! I use it as a last resort only, prefering to use an external Wi-Fi router when possible.
- I find the trackpad tap-to-click way too sensitive, luckily the trackpad can be disabled in the BIOS settings and I use a 3-button mouse instead.
- Setting the screen resolution does not work, and worse, attempting to to so sometimes causes errors/hangs. I have commented out the whole screen resolution section in /bin/rc/screenrc.
- Binding to the Wi-Fi card; but not using it; generates periodic kernel errors which are annoying, especially if you don't have console output redirected to a window.
On the up-side, the following do work:
- Sound.
- The built-in camera.
- Battery and CPU temperature monitoring (once you setup ACPI).
- Wi-Fi - but see annoyances 1 and 4.
