  • External USB mouse [if possible to check] - works
  • Touch-pad - works

  • Display brightness change shortcuts - brings up icon but it’s not functional
    Brightness can be changed by dropping to the login shell and updating brightness in /sys/class/backlight/amdgpu_bl1/brightness
    Hack:
    In dom0 terminal type:
    sudo -i
    cd /sys/class/backlight/amdgpu_bl1/
    cat max_brightness
    echo 100 > brightness
    
    For a permanent solution:
    In dom0 terminal type:
    sudo nano /etc/default/grub
    At GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX before "rhgb quiet" add acpi_backlight=native
    sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
    and then reboot the machine keyboard shortcuts work as they should.

    60fps 720p no frames dropped, 1080p/1440p frames dropped but watchable, 2160p frames are dropped but watchable
    Playback speed (2x)
    30fps 720p/1080pworks, 1440p/2160p little laggy but watchable
