CF-54 Mark 2 w/ MX17 Horizon.

#1 Post by SHEEPMAN! »

This is the first tweak I have had to do with CF-54F0001VM. Touch was spot on. Wacom multi-touch is supported.

http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads ... t-10693689 should let you see both posts.
Fair for you/ Fair for me.
I chose to NOT be organized.

Cut n paste of Jeffs posts
---------------------------------

Here's my hearty recommendation for Linux for CF-54 MK2.
Works out of the box. Touch spot on and multi-touch works.

UEFI disabled in bios at the present time.

Kernel: 4.14.0-3-amd64 x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: Xfce 4.12.3
Distro: MX-17_x64 Horizon

Kernel is upgraded via MX-Package Installer to MX 4.14 Kernel Meltdown Patched, 64-bit then cloned for LiveUSB or copied via Snapshot and saved as snapshot.iso.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Speaker Jack may not be functional with some Linux Distros.

This is my first tweak for MX17 Horizon.

This writes a PERMANENT file called sound.conf and enables a feature in snd-hda-intel. Call it a software switch. W10 does this automatically.

Code:

$ su
Password:
root@mx54:/home/m17# echo "options snd-hda-intel model=headset-mode" > /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf

To remove the file:
Code:

sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf

Waiting on a mike for this headset...so mike untested.

I see from your screenshot that there are updates ready to roll.
I’m loving the same operating system on my 52 & 53.
