Improved Upstream Kernel Support For TUXEDO Laptops Being Worked On

([Hardware] 73 Minutes Ago Uniwill)


While TUXEDO Computers recently [1]ended their efforts for a Snapdragon X Elite Linux laptop , their Linux Intel/AMD laptop efforts continue going well and recently they have been posting patches working to enhance the upstream kernel support for those x86_64 devices.

Now that [2]there's a Uniwill laptop driver set to appear in Linux 6.19 , TUXEDO Computers has been working to build off that upstream-destined driver with some TUXEDO laptops being manufactured by Uniwill.

Werner Sembach of TUXEDO has been posting patches to extend that Uniwill x86 platform driver with more functionality for TUXEDO laptops.

The patches include handling more WMI events used by TUXEDO devices, such as for handling the WiFi radio toggling, performance mode toggle, mute, LED level, webcam toggle, and adapter charged event.

The patches then add the XMG Fusion 15, InfinityBook Pro 14 Gen6 Intel, InfinityBook Pro 14/16 Gen7 Intel, InfinityBook Pro 16 Gen7 Intel / Commodore Omnia-Book Pro Gen 7, InfinityBook Pro 14/16 Gen 8 / Commodore Omnia-Book Pro Gen 8, InfinityBook Pro 14/15 Gen9 AMD, InfinityBook Pro 14/15 Gen 9 Intel, InfinityBook Pro 14/15 Gen10 AMD, InfinityBook Max 15 Gen10 AMD, InfinityBook Max 16 Gen10 AMD, Polaris 15 Gen1 AMD, Polaris 17 Gen1 AMD, Polaris 15 Gen1 Intel, Polaris 17 Gen1 Intel, Trinity 15 Intel Gen1, Trinity 17 Gen1 Intel, Polaris 15/17 Gen2 AMD, Polaris 15/17 Gen2 Intel, Stellaris/Polaris 15/17 Gen3 AMD, Stellaris/Polaris 15/17 Gen3 Intel, Stellaris/Polaris 15/17 Gen4 AMD, Stellaris 15 Gen4 Intel, Polaris 15/17 Gen5 AMD, Stellaris Slim 15 Gen6 AMD, Stellaris Slim 15 Gen6 Intel/Commodore ORION Slim 15 Gen6, Stellaris 16 Gen6 Intel/Commodore ORION 16 Gen6, Stellaris 17 Gen6 Intel/Commodore ORION 17 Gen6, Stellaris 16 Gen7 AMD, Stellaris 16 Gen7 Intel, Pulse 14 Gen1 AMD, Pulse 15 Gen1 AMD, and Pulse 15 Gen2 AMD laptops.

[3]This patch series is currently the latest working to extend the Uniwill laptop driver for the TUXEDO NB02 devices.

Separately is also [4]this patch series for implementing custom total graphics power "cTGP" setting for TUXEDO laptops with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series and newer dGPUs for manipulating the allowed graphics power.

These TUXEDO patches are currently out for review on the mailing list while at least the base Uniwill driver is currently queued for premiering in the upcoming Linux 6.19 kernel.

The mice ran up the clock,
The clock struck one,
The others escaped with minor injuries.
