Debian on Lenovo V14 IIL
The laptop Lenovo v14 IIL needs a couple of tricks to work with debian Buster:
- the wifi adapter doesn't works with the installer kernel, even with firmware, so I used a USB netwok adapter to install the system
- to make the video and wifi adapters work you have to install from backports either the kernel and the
firmware-linux
andfirmware-atheros
packages. - To make the touchpad work you need to pass a couple of paremeters to the kernel, as stated in askubuntu. I choose to insert them in the
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX
line, as this is used for both normal and Recovery Mode boot:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="i8042.nopnp=1 pci=nocrs"
According to the documentation the first parameter inhibits the use of PnP for touchpad discovery
i8042.nopnp [HW] Don't use ACPIPnP / PnPBIOS to discover KBD/AUX controllers
While the second parameter is more hackish, and would require opening a bug:
nocrs [X86] Ignore PCI host bridge windows from ACPI. If you need to use this, please report a bug.
Until now I'm able to use only the left button of the touchpad, as a temporary workaround for the right one I am using the combination CTRL + Click
