Accessibility
The BIOS offers two modes of operation, GUI and Simple Text.
The GUI can be navigated to some degree via the keyboard. Left
and Right
arrow keys to move the selection and Space
to activate.
For full keyboard support switching to simple text would likely be better.
That can be accomplished by:
- Selecting and activating Config on the left side under Setup
-
Right
arrowing until the drop down to the right of Setup UI is selected - active the drop down and select Simple Text
-
F10
(save and exit)
Hardware
Bluetooth
Bluetooth doesn't appear to work with the stock Qualcomm Wi-Fi 6E QCNFA765 modem. The modem is an M.2 2230 form factor and not soldered (on the AMD variant of the X13 Gen 2), and can be replaced easily with an Intel AX210.NGW.

Brightness control
As of kernel 5.9 use the native brightness controller, use the acpi_backlight=native
kernel parameter.
Audio
PulseAudio seems to work fine without manual intervention, but the ALSA audio device chosen by default may not be correct. You may need to change the default device.
/etc/asound.conf
defaults.pcm.card 2 defaults.ctl.card 2
You should remember to unmute the volume.
Webcam
No issues with kernel 6+.
Firmware
fwupd does not support this device yet.
UEFI
It is recommended to run the latest UEFI version, which is currently 1.50.
The "BIOS update" can be downloaded as an ISO image from the X13 support page and loaded to a USB stick.
Additionally, there is a UEFI option for customizing the Power profile that by default is tuned to Windows 10
and is recommended to be set to Linux
. This setting has been shown to reduce issues with #Power Management.
Power Management
The BIOS provides two choices for the sleep mode (Config -> Power -> Sleep State). The Windows 10
mode (s2idle) is recommended, and results in about a 0.5%/hour drain while sleeping. Using the Linux
mode (s3) may help if you're running an older kernel.
