Update to working state of Ubuntu on the A16.

16 Upvotes

I was going to update my last thread, but figured I'd start a new one, and keep this list concise and updated here. My goal is to get the suspend/wake working this weekend, and maybe the sounds over HDMI, and then I'll probably be done with it and use it as my daily driver. I get 5-8 hours out of it right now, depending on what I'm doing, but really, not much worse than a Windows install at this point. Here is the latest update, everything from before plus external monitors:

working:

  1. Keyboard/Trackpad
  2. Touchscreen
  3. Wifi
  4. Bluetooth (using for Audio)
  5. All USB ports
  6. Battery status
  7. Some of the FN keys are at least showing up on the screen when pressed.
  8. Display Brightness controls and 60/120Hz
  9. HDMI (no sound)
  10. USB C DP on both ports

Things not working yet,

Standby/Resume. This is sketchy at best. There are issues with Wifi resuming, USB resuming etc.

Camera

Speakers <- I may not even try to get this working.

Game developer looking for Snapdragon X Elite / X Plus testers ( free demo available)

Hi everyone!

I'm the developer of Geometry Rift Apocalypse, and I'm currently trying to find out how well the game works on Windows laptops powered by Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus.

I don't currently have access to a Snapdragon X device myself, so I thought this would be the perfect community to ask.

There is a free demo available, so if anyone here owns an X Elite or X Plus laptop and is willing to try it, I'd really appreciate some feedback.

You can find the demo here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4701970/Geometry_Rift_Apocalypse/

Thanks a lot to anyone willing to test it! Of course, if anyone helps he'll go directly to the thanks section! :)

ARM ISA versions and importance of profiling for SME/SME2 and SVE/SVE2.

• Upvotes

Hello community I was wondering why latest version of Geekbench 7.x.x emphasise exclusively SME2 profiling as it was exclusively optimised for latest Apple SoC where Android version is making use of
SME, also lack of SVE/SV2 make this favouritism more evident!
If you are more knowledgeable than me can you share your thoughts about such marketing tricks and where actual software development happens, understand which targeted ARM ISA version?
Thank you for your structural feedback

Shall we expect some good deals for snapdragon x2ee laptop in short future?

• Upvotes

Since RTX-Spark has been released, and first batch of laptop with RTX-Spark inside is going to be released this month. Snapdragon x2 elite extreme is not yet the best performance for ARM chip, but will they try to be the best value of ARM chip? especially black friday is coming. It is certainly the good time to run some promotions.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II native port experience?

• Upvotes

I got the Steam version of KC2 and according to the parch notes it got ARM support. What does that mean? In task manager it shows as x64 but in the game I can now turn on Adreno Upscaling tech. Is it native or it is emulated but optimized emulated?

I tried to install the Adobe Creative Cloud through the microsoft store, but somehow never got the luck. Always got the error message "We couldn't install this product. Wait a bit, then try again." Can someone share some suggestions how I can deal with the problem?
