## Installation

Installation is very straightforward. You will need to disable secureboot in BIOS (ESC to bring up menu, then F10 for BIOS and/or F9 for Boot options). Using the 2018-01-01 Arch ISO and following the [installation guide](/index.php/Installation_guide "Installation guide") presented no issues.

## Issues and Further Configuration

### Audio

The laptop has a Realtek ALC295 Codec with a 4 speaker system built in. Currently only the 2 speakers on the underside of the machine will work. More information at [https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189331](https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189331)

### Mute Button

Most of the media keys work without configuration in Gnome, but in order to get the Mute button to function properly, you must add the following line to `/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf` (create `alsa-base.conf` if it doesn't exist) and then reboot. The button should now work and allow feedback of the mute state to Gnome, however the LED within the mute button does not illuminate.

```
options snd-hda-intel model=hp-led-gpio

```

### HiDPI

Follow [HiDPI](/index.php/HiDPI "HiDPI") for recommendations here. Gnome works out of the box, but other software may need more configuration.

### Auto Rotation

See [Tablet PC#Automatic rotation](/index.php/Tablet_PC#Automatic_rotation "Tablet PC") for common methods of achieving this. Installing [iio-sensor-proxy](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/iio-sensor-proxy/) worked with no further configuration needed on Gnome.
