Hi,
A little message just to tell you a big thank you for all your work. With the help of Manjaro my Asus Zenbook UX435EAL (light weigth) is now ready to work and travel.
I come from Manjaro on Thinkpad T460 and it was fine. But I need a lighter laptop to travel.
I first tried to install Manjaro on my Zenbook but it failed (bad partitionning, dual boot with windows). As I have no time, I finally installed Ubuntu Budgie. But there is a huge problem with energy.
First it was draining my battery on suspend… After changing the kernel mode for suspend to deep, it improves but continue to drain battery a little on suspend.
Then, it use a lot of energy when running (powertop or powerstat say around 9W). Autnomy is not good, maybe 4 or 5 hours…
Even with TLP autonomy is not good at all.
Then I decided to come back to Manjaro and try the minimal install. This time it works. Afeter setting the kernel mode to deep, suspend is now working fine. No more energy use on suspend. 100% battery after one night of suspend to ram! great!
After installing auto-cpufreq, powertop says 6W ! now my laptop can last for 8h ! great
It makes a huge difference from ubuntu!
Thank you devs! you did a good job. Love Manjaro
Little problems remaining:
- after enabling deep mode in kernel, my second screen (displayport) is not automatically detected after wake from suspend. I have to unplug and replug it to get it detected.
- The bios version 307 is working fine, but with latest version (309), sound is not working (speakers and earplugs). The sound start to play for seconds but die. Same issue on Ubuntu.
- the touchpad numpad is not working (solved with this : GitHub - Joan-Tondo/ZenBook-Pro-Duo-UX581-touchpad-numpad-driver: ZenBook Pro Duo UX581 active/deactive touchpad-numpad driver)
Thanks again!
