a while back, i asked about some issues getting a fully functioning fedora 23 running on my ASUS G752VL-DH71 gaming laptop (i don't actually do any gaming, i just wanted the horsepower for a build machine): https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/NN7CZ3QRHKV3YDZFHH2HCIKOORHRWPDC/ i'm about to do a fresh install of fedora 24 on the same machine, and i still have some outstanding issues that are probably solvable on the current f23 that, if i can fix now, the same solution will almost certainly still hold for f24. so here are some questions if anyone has off-the-cuff solutions: 1) how do i get the backlit keyboard to, you know, backlight? i normally plug in a USB keyboard and, using "xset led", i can get *that* keyboard backlight on. but i have no idea how to get the laptop's own keyboard backlit. 2) this laptop has a displayport connector -- is that port fully supported in fedora 24? 3) this thing also has a USB-C thunderbolt port, of which i know nothing; what sort of support can i expect for that? (not even sure what i would use it for yet.) 4) just got a deal on a samsung v-nand 950 pro SSD: http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/product/consumer/950pro.html haven't had time to plug it in yet, can anyone confirm that that is supported? i was *assured* by the dude at frys electronics that it would work. 5) oh, and i was about to complain that the cooling fans on this thing are always on full blast even when i'm not doing anything but, suddenly, they're quiet. i'm kind of shocked, did proper thermal support suddenly come with the latest "dnf update" kernel? i'm deliriously happy about that, i just wasn't expecting it. oh, i'm reading the online manual here: http://www.manualslib.com/manual/1076799/Asus-G752v.html so if anyone else is running f24 on one of the asus gaming laptops and wants to swap config/setup stories, i'm all ears. rday -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
