There are some utility applications like the tpacpi-bat for thinkpads and ideapads, but none that support the legion series.

#LENOVO VANTAGE LINUX WINDOWS#

For charging I have to change it from from lenovo vantage by logging in to my dual booted windows(If you don't notice any change in charging mode when switching back to linux, you might want to (1)switch your mode in windows and (2)again restarting into windows and then (3)restarting into linux). I have not found any way to change charging(fast, conservation) and power modes(performance, balanced and quiet) without closing linux.I have a Legion 5 pro, Nvidia 3070 (2021 version).įor people with similar devices(or maybe any new laptops with nvidia), here's what I have found till now : Late reply, hope the people here have already solved the initial issues.

#LENOVO VANTAGE LINUX HOW TO#

Side note: I still don't know how to fix the brightness issue for non X11 users. I have been using the discrete graphics mode preset inside the BIOS, and I am able to plug in a second monitor in my HDMI port with no issues.

I changed my session into X11 and added the Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1" line into the "Device" section of this file: /etc/X11/nf, which can be created by using the Nvidia X Server settings program. Of course using Wayland will not work with a X11 config file. This one drove me really crazy, but it turned out that I did not pay attention which Display Manager my Ubuntu session was using. It seems that this is somehow already integrated in my Ubuntu version (21.10).

I could hear some fan noises when I changed into the red mode (power mode), but the fan noise disappeared when I changed into white (automatic mode) or blue (silent mode). I am not quite sure if this one works per default. Just change the value inside /sys/bus/platform/drivers/ideapad_acpi/VPC2004:00/conservation_mode to 0 or 1. Oftentimes you can change the values inside of them from 0 to 1 or vice versa. You can find the configuration files under /sys/bus/platform/drivers/ideapad_acpi/VPC2004:00. Have a look here for the GitHub source code. This module seems to support a wide variety of Lenovo devices. The kernel developers added an ideapad kernel module, which contains some files that you can configure to your beliking. How would I solve the brightness and external monitor issue in both modes?Īfter some time I am now back with updated infos, which I hope will help future owners of the Legion 5 (whatever exact model it might be):Īs it seems, there is no need for Lenovo Vantage in GNU/Linux in general.

Furthermore, plugging in an external monitor via HDMI works with discrete mode, but not with hybrid mode. In hybrid mode however, I could change the screen brightness.

#LENOVO VANTAGE LINUX DRIVERS#

One big issue I had with the graphics drivers was that I could not change the screen brightness in discrete graphics mode. When analyzing the wattage/power consumption of my hardware, nothing changes. The 3 power modes (red > white > blue) switched by clicking FN+Q don't actually do anything in Linux but only change the LED on the power button. Once I turned on battery conservation mode in Windows (to charge the battery only to 55-60%), I can't find any way to disable or re-enable it in Linux. the feature to turn on/off the camera (instead of your face, a grey camera is visible in a live video chat to others) is not working. You might say it is a bad product, but I actually use it quite a lot. I can't find any alternative to Lenovo Vantage.

#LENOVO VANTAGE LINUX INSTALL#

I tried to install Ubuntu on my Legion 5 17" with a 1660ti and a Ryzen 7 4800H. I know that parts of this question were asked before, however, none of the questions featured all problems that I have encountered and the answers were rather unhelpful in my case.
