Please find the output of qubes-hcl-report at the end of this mail.
NOTE that presently installing is NOT TRIVIAL, as the xen/kernel combination on
the installer image leads to an infinite reboot (as described earlier on
this list), and I would assume that the default xen/kernel installation would
do the same.
Based on reports of the 4.8.x kernels in the unstable repository working on
similar hardware, I took out the SSD, put it in an older laptop and installed
Qubes 3.2 as usual, followed by installing all available updates, switching to
the Fedora 24 template and installing 4.8.x kernels.
Putting the SSD back in the Lenovo T560 results in a booting system, though,
not surprisingly, various wrong/non-existing PCI devices/IDs were assigned to
eg. sys-net and sys-usb during the initial install. After sorting this out,
networking starts to work (both wireless, as well as cable).
After adding e1000e, iwlwifi and iwlmvm to the suspend-blacklist in sys-net,
the network actually comes back up after a sleep/restart cycle.
In initial tests, I have sound and can play youtube videos. The most important
hotkeys (vol up/down, brightness up/down) work.
I still need to test an external monitor, and on the quick I see no bluetooth;
though this is something I don't care about.
I cannot say anything about power consumption / battery life yet.
While taking out the SSD is fully documented by Lenovo for this model in the
user's guide, I would not recommend doing this if it's the first laptop you
are opening up ...
Hope this helps others, kudos to the Qubes developers!
Stefan
