Hello all, I recently purchased a Lenovo W540 mobile workstation. Most of the hardware works, though there are a few issues. Here is a breakdown of my setup, what works, and what doesn't. Basic Installation: I set up a GPT/ZFS-only scheme. The laptop comes pre-configured for booting UEFI-only, but it supports a legacy BIOS boot mode. Setting up ZFS went smoothly with little trouble. The laptop also came with a 16 GB flash drive, which I used as a swap device. It could also be used as an L2ARC for ZFS. I also ran into some build errors when trying to build world, that seemed to be caused by a version mismatch between the clang-tblgen binary in the 10 installer and the .tbl files in head. ACPI: Suspend/resume works without incident, both in terminal mode and in X. The following error messages get printed: pci0: failed to set ACPI power state D2 on \134_SB_.PCI0.PEG_: AE_BAD_PARAMETER pci0: failed to set ACPI power state D2 on \134_SB_.PCI0.EXP1: AE_BAD_PARAMETER pci0: failed to set ACPI power state D2 on \134_SB_.PCI0.EXP2: AE_BAD_PARAMETER pci0: failed to set ACPI power state D2 on \134_SB_.PCI0.EXP3: AE_BAD_PARAMETER pci0: failed to set ACPI power state D2 on \134_SB_.PCI0.EXP5: AE_BAD_PARAMETER This doesn't seem to affect anything, though. A similar error occurs when trying to use the nvidia driver. However, these errors do seem to prevent the driver from working: ACPI Warning: \134_SB_.PCI0.PEG_.VID_._DSM: Argument #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], APCI requires [Package] (20130823/nsarguments-97) (the same message gets repeated about 10 times) Xorg: As previously mentioned, the nvidia driver is non-functional. The nv driver does not seem to support the on-board card (Quadro K1100). The vesa driver works though. I'm using enlightenment 17. I haven't done anything fancy with it yet, though. USB: USB 1.0 and 2.0 seem to work. USB 3.0 has problems. The messages for xhci are: xhci0: <Intel Lynx Point USB 3.0 Controller> mem 0xb2a20000-b2a2ffff irq 16 at device 3.0 on pci0 xhci0: 32 byte context size xhci0: Port routing mask set to 0xffffffff ... xhci0: Port routing mask set to 0x00000000 usb_alloc_device: device init 2 failed (USB_ERR_IOERROR, ignored) A bit of looking around seemed to reveal that there's known issues with the Lynx Point controller. I don't know much about the USB system, so not sure what to do here. Mouse: Trackpad and trackpoint work, though Synaptics does not seem to be supported (at the kernel driver level). If I'm not mistaken, the touchpad is a multitouch touchpad, so maybe I will look into why it's not supported. The touchpad is a bit sensitive, though, and an accidental palm touch can register as a click. Sound: Sound card gets detected, seems to work, though I haven't done anything serious with it yet. Also experimenting a bit with setting up rc scripts to start audio servers like Jack and Pulseaudio and run them as system-wide processes Network: Ethernet works fine, Intel 7260AC chipset is not supported for wireless :( Questions/suggestions/advice are welcome. Eric
