Remarks

Installation Remarks

  • Enable Legacy Mode in BIOS.
  • Disable Secure Boot.
  • Add set nouveau.modset=0 in the installation command list.

Firmware Compatibility

To gain basic control over the camera toggle, fan modes, shift modes, and temperature monitors, the following library must be installed in dom0:

To unlock the computer’s fan curve and to provide an interface for managing the features listed above the following must also be installed:

HDMI Port and GPU Remarks

The HDMI port interfaces solely with the dGPU. To use a secondary monitor one may simply allow it to run from the HDMI port which works out of the box. However, if you are hiding the dGPU for GPU passthrough this leaves the monitor inaccessible to anything except the Qube where the GPU has been attached to.

Undervolting

I was unable to configure undervolting within Qubes, but rather managed to do so through the device’s advanced BIOS settings which may be accessed by entering the BIOS with the Delete key and then pressing: Left Alt + F2 + Right Control + Right Shift. Undervolting through the BIOS is more secure than through the OS anyways to my understanding, but sharing so that people might learn how to accomplish it with similar devices.
