Other than those issues, everything seems to work perfectly. I've found some tools that are supposed do that, but none are for this model, some don't work, and another that looks like it's made for something closest to my system, but has to be compiled into a kernel module (I've never been very successful with compiling) and comes with dire warnings of possible permanent damage to hardware, so I'm not willing to try that just yet.
I'd like to be able to have a steady, single-color, dim but present backlighting under the keyboard. In Cinnamon's power applet, there is a slider that can dim the pulsing colors or turn it off completely, but that's it. By default, the keyboard backlighting does this constant pulsing cycle through all possible colors over and over. This isn't a big issue, but it would be nice to figure out.
Minimal control of the keyboard backlighting. And it would be nice to be able to use the extra hardware I paid for.ģ.
So if I ever need to use it for a presentation or want to plug it into a TV for a movie, I'm stuck. I can be ok with the integrated card for now, but I've read that the only card that drives the HDMI port is the NVIDIA card. I can also control-alt-F1 into a terminal and see the logged in processes running. I know something's happening in the background, because I can still type my password on the black screen and the hard drive does the same thing as when I log in with the functional integrated graphics. I managed to get the integrated graphics to work by inserting amdgpu.dc=1 into the grub startup line, but after following all instructions and all troubleshooting for similar issues, all I can get from the NVIDIA card is a black screen. It has an integrated Radeon RX Vega 7, and a discrete NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. One of the video cards doesn't seem to function. But all of the indicator lights stay on and I have to force-hold the power button for a bit to get it to turn off completely.Ģ. It gets all the way to completing the shutdown on the terminal (All the messages look good with quiet splash removed), it turns off the screen, and I can hear the hard drive park. Here are the problems I have left (in priority order):ġ. I installed Mint 20 on it, but have had several problems, some of which I've solved with extensive Googling (such as complete failure to start any graphics card, and suspend being woken up by a mouse movement), other's I'm stumped on. Turns out it was an older model with slightly different hardware. I saw posts that people had success with running Linux on the ASUS TUF Gaming A17 laptop.
I bought this ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA706IH-TUF706IH laptop this week, as my old 6-year-old laptop was showing its age and I wanted something with higher specs that'd last me another 6 or 7 years at least.
