 ''[drm:intel_dsm_pci_probe] *ERROR* failed to get supported _DSM functions''
-This error seems to be a BIOS bug that Lenovo has so far failed to fix. It does not cause any problems so the warning can be ignored. However, printing the error does cause a modeswitch during boot which breaks the seamless graphical boot.

	Likewise you may also want to add the option {{bootparm\|i915.i915_enable_rc6\|1}} which will allow the Integrated (Intel) graphics to enter a lower power state, and save yet some more power. Again this could cause problems on certain implementations, but I have not noticed any negative effects.

-You may want to consider editing {{path|/etc/default/grub}} and adding {{bootparm|pcie_aspm|force}} to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line, and running {{cmdroot|grub2-mkconfig}}. This will force enable PCIe ASPM power saving functions, which are getting disabled because the BIOS claims not to support it, but it does work and it makes a significant difference in battery life. A potential downside is that if the system really does not support it, you could experience system freezes, but I have not noticed any (YMMV).

This issue is resolved in the upstream 3.3 kernel release.
