Hi all,

I recently got access to an T490 and wanted to migrate my Qubes 
installation to the machine. I can say that the latest rc release for 4.0.2 
works ok. Although I had to put the PCIe devices to "no-strict-reset=true" 
so my sys-net VM would start.

Hope that's useful for someone in the future.

Some tidbits from improving the situation:

First of all, I had trouble with suspend on my t480+qubes until I
disabled Thunderbolt completely in the BIOS. I have no idea why this was
interfering, but since i'm not using it, whatever.

I tried to get the Qubes stable release 4.0.1 to work, but it had really
buggy graphics drivers. After attempting the Qubes Release 4.0.2-rc1,
the graphics are super smooth. You might also have luck with installing
the stable, do the PCIe trick I had to pull off (more on that later) and
install a newer dom0 kernel. But I haven't tried that.

```qvm-pci```

this gives back a list of devices, you'll see some devices added to
sys-net. Perfect! We're going to detach them and then attach them with
an extra option and make that persistent.

qvm-pci detach sys-net dom0:<id1>
qvm-pci detach sys-net dom0:<id2>

qvm-pci-attach --persistent --option no-strict-reset=true sys-net
dom0:<same id1>
qvm-pci-attach --persistent --option no-strict-reset=true sys-net
dom0:<same id2>

After this, start sys-net VM and subsequently the sys-firewall Vm and
everything should work fine.

I also updated to a latest kernel, but it didn't change anything for me,
so it isn't necessary.

sudo qubes-dom0-update
sudo qubes-dom0-update kernel-latest

I noticed that batterylife on the t490 and qubes is super super super
sad. It lasts 2.5 maybe 3 without wifi and low lighting for the display.
