To get the sensor working, install the python-validity AUR package, and its dependencies: fprintd-clients AUR and open-fprintd AUR (which conflicts with the fprintd package in the official repositories, so remove this package first if it is installed). The issue seems to be resolved by BIOS 1.43.Īs of writing this, the fingerprint reader is still under prototype development, but seems working fine on the T470.

This is being tracked on the kernel bugtracker. Suspend-resume results in the fan holding at 100% without ever spinning down. Works fine without the intel driver (on a Skylake configuration). Hardware video acceleration with Kaby Lake seems to work fine via va-api.Īs noted in Intel graphics, the xf86-video-intel driver seems to cause more issue than the builtin modesetting Xorg driver. Or extracted and copied on a USB Stick.Īnother option that works if you got a CD-ISO from Lenovo is to follow this guide and convert the ISO to an IMG prior to dd-ing it to a USB stick. If it does not work for you or if you prefer these methods, it is still possible to do the BIOS update by booting on a specially crafted disk or USB stick.īy visiting the downloads section (T470) an ISO can be downloaded and burned to disk which will perform the update from Lenovo.

Note: Users have observed a BIOS requirement of 'UEFI/Legacy Boot' set to 'UEFI Only' and enable Windows UEFI Firmware Update under UEFI BIOS Update Options when using fwupd.
