Hello Having played with Qubes 3.2 on my new laptop for a couple weeks, it is time to share my findings. The HCL file is attached to this email.
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC B9440UA Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz Intel Corporation Wireless 8260 (rev 3a) qubes: R3.2 xen: 4.6.5 kernel: 4.8.12-12 In general things started to work out ok once I upgraded the kernel to 4.8.12, there was all sorts of weird problems before that upgrade, which I will spare you. Status with kernel 4.8.12-12: Wifi, keyboard, touchpad & screen works. Batterystatus indicator seems to be honest. Daily use in general works fine. I have created an usb-vm, a windows10 vm as well as several others and used the machine for daily work (java development, databases, email etc) for a while. Performance and responsiveness when running 4-5 vms and quite a few memory hungry applications is surprisingly good. Keyboard backlight cannot be turned on. Battery life is only half as good as advertised by ASUS. Powermanagement will blank the screen but hibernation and suspend to disk does not work. There is an error message along these lines "powersave verb not supported" when the machine was supposed to go into hibernation or suspend to disk. High res video eg. youtube is awfully slow & jerky in the fedora vms (haven't tried in windows ot debian vms yet). I suppose software rendered rather than GPU pass-through. I have not yet looked into if this might be configurable or some other drives might be available etc. Audio does not work. When I add the "Audio device" to a VM using the "VM manager" I get a "You've enabled dynamic memore balancing, some devices might not work!" message. When I press on and try to start the vm, it fails to start with the message: "Internal error: unable to reset PCI device, no FLR, PM reset or bus reset available". The Asus MiniDock that came with the laptop works like a charm (It is a tiny USB-C 3.1 -> HDMI, USB-3.0 and USB-C 3.1 device). I have tested it with a 2560x1440 monitor, a VGA projector and a USB stick. No problems observed. The Asus SimPro Dick 1A works partly. USB-3.0 and the powerbutton works. Ethernet does not work. No ethernet device shows up when plugged in. External monitors, does show a picture during boot. Erratic behavior after login, sometimes it works fine, sometimes one or both external monitors goes blank complaining of "no signal". Picture quality seem ok when there is a picture. Not yet tested: Audio, USB-C and SD-card reader -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
