X9-14 come with BIOS 1.08 out of the box, function keys from F4 to f11 didn't work (didn't emit any events)

with 1.13, F8 (mode) doesn't emit any events, F9 and F11 both emit KEY_UNKNOWN(240) on the "Thinkpad Extra Buttons" input device. Gdamjan (talk) 19:01, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

@Crab2313 should I add the F11 function key to the table? currently it IS visible and emits a scancode 1402, but as of 6.16-rc3 still emits the KEY_UNKNOWN keycode. That will change when this patch is merged: https://patchew.org/linux/20250620181119.2519546-1-mpearson-lenovo@squebb.ca/

also, F9 is actually visible, emits SW_CAMERA_LENS_COVER Gdamjan (talk) 14:40, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

I don't think we need add this before 6.16 get released. Crab2313 (talk) 01:17, 24 June 2025 (UTC)

@Crab2313 in your latest edit you are linking the intel-ipu6-dkms-git AUR package, shouldn't that be https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/intel-ipu7-dkms-git ? Gdamjan (talk) 14:42, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

It's ipu6, not ipu7. You can look into the repository, Intel put their downstream camera sensors driver in the ipu6 repository. Crab2313 (talk) 01:07, 24 June 2025 (UTC)

For me, intel-ipu6-dkms-git didn't work. I assume the webcam will only work when they update the intel firmware later this month (presumably) as per discussion on Lenovo forum. Mkmkme (talk) 10:10, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

I have a patched kernel and libcamera that makes the camera work (with qcam, and theoretically with anything that uses pipewire-libcamera). Albeit the image quality is pretty bad.

@Crab2313 I see you reverted my edit for the /lib/firmware/intel/ish/ish_lnlm.bin.zst firmware. Does this mean that the firmware that comes from linux-firmware-intel now is not suitable and Windows has other firmware files? Can you add more clarification on that? Gdamjan (talk) 14:44, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

I think it's fairly clarified that you need to extract the custom firmware from Windows driver package and replace the *common* one which inside the linux-firmware. There is CRC based naming convention for the custom firmware, but I don't think people who can calculate the naming convention need my help here. Crab2313 (talk) 01:11, 24 June 2025 (UTC)

Linux 7.0 is required for the intel-ish-hid firmware loading to work properly. Or if they ever backport this commit
