# Post-Reboot Checklist ## Date: 2025-11-05 ## Status: ✅ COMPLETED - All items verified and working! This checklist guided verification of the touchpad and touchscreen functionality after rebooting with the new kernel that includes I2C HID ACPI support and CONFIG_PINCTRL_AMD. ## What Was Done 1. ✅ Enabled `CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI=m` in kernel configuration 2. ✅ Enabled `CONFIG_PINCTRL_AMD=y` in kernel configuration (CRITICAL for GPIO interrupts) 3. ✅ Rebuilt kernel with genkernel (full rebuild, multiple attempts) 4. ✅ New kernel installed to `/boot/vmlinuz-6.12.41-gentoo-x86_64` 5. ✅ Backup created (`.old` and `.backup-20251105` files) **Note**: The final kernel rebuild was done WITHOUT `--no-mrproper`, which may have reset some kernel configurations. Bluetooth configuration may need to be verified/restored. ## After Reboot: Verification Steps ### 1. Check Kernel Version ```bash uname -r # Should show: 6.12.41-gentoo-x86_64 ``` ### 2. Verify PINCTRL_AMD is Built-In ```bash zcat /proc/config.gz | grep PINCTRL_AMD ``` **Expected output**: ``` CONFIG_PINCTRL_AMD=y ``` This must show `=y` (built-in), not `=m`. If it shows "is not set", the touchpad/touchscreen won't work. ### 3. Verify i2c-hid-acpi Module Loaded ```bash lsmod | grep i2c_hid ``` **Expected output**: ``` i2c_hid_acpi 16384 0 i2c_hid 32768 1 i2c_hid_acpi ``` If not loaded, try loading manually: ```bash sudo modprobe i2c-hid-acpi ``` ### 4. Check Input Devices ```bash cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep -A 5 -i "ELAN\|touchpad\|touchscreen" ``` Should show both: - ELAN901C touchpad (or similar ELAN name) - ELAN0678 touchscreen (or similar ELAN name) If only TrackPoint is shown, PINCTRL_AMD is likely missing or driver binding failed. ### 5. Test Touchpad Functionality **Basic tests**: - [ ] Move cursor with one finger - [ ] Scroll vertically with two fingers - [ ] Scroll horizontally with two fingers - [ ] Right-click with two-finger tap - [ ] Palm rejection works (no accidental touches) ### 6. Test Touchscreen Functionality **Basic tests**: - [ ] Tap to click/select - [ ] Drag to move/select - [ ] Two-finger pinch to zoom (if supported by app) - [ ] Touch accuracy across entire screen ### 7. Verify Bluetooth Still Works **IMPORTANT**: The kernel was rebuilt without `--no-mrproper`, which may have reset bluetooth configs. ```bash # Check if bluetooth is enabled in kernel zcat /proc/config.gz | grep "CONFIG_BT=" # Check bluetooth service systemctl status bluetooth ``` If bluetooth is broken, refer to bluetooth setup documentation in this folder. ### 8. If Module Didn't Load Automatically Create auto-load configuration: ```bash echo "i2c-hid-acpi" | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/i2c-hid.conf ``` Then reboot again to verify it auto-loads. ## Troubleshooting ### Touchpad/Touchscreen Not Working 1. **Check kernel messages**: ```bash dmesg | grep -i "i2c.*hid\|elan" ``` 2. **Verify devices on I2C bus**: ```bash ls -la /sys/bus/i2c/devices/ | grep ELAN ``` 3. **Check if module exists**: ```bash find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -name "*i2c*hid*.ko*" ``` 4. **Verify kernel config**: ```bash zcat /proc/config.gz | grep I2C_HID ``` Should show: ``` CONFIG_I2C_HID=m CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI=m ``` ### If Nothing Works Boot into backup kernel: - At GRUB menu, select "Advanced options" - Choose kernel with `.old` suffix - Report the issue with kernel logs ## Verification Results (Post-Reboot) ### ✅ All Checks Passed! **Kernel Configuration Verified**: - [x] ✅ CONFIG_PINCTRL_AMD=y (built-in, confirmed working) - [x] ✅ CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI=m (module loads automatically) **Hardware Detection**: - [x] ✅ ELAN901C touchpad detected and functional - [x] ✅ ELAN0678 touchscreen detected and functional - [x] ✅ i2c-hid-acpi module loaded automatically **Functionality Tests**: - [x] ✅ Touchpad cursor movement - [x] ✅ Multi-finger gestures (scroll, tap) - [x] ✅ Touchscreen touch input - [x] ✅ Touchscreen multitouch support **Regression Testing**: - [x] ✅ Bluetooth still working (hci0) - [x] ✅ WiFi still working - [x] ✅ All other system functions intact ## Next Steps After Verification ✅ **Completed**: Documentation updated in Claude.md, Touchpad-Touchscreen-Setup.md **Remaining tasks**: 1. **Audio control script** - Create sound control utility for switching audio sources 2. **Ghostty terminal** - Install Wayland-native terminal emulator 3. **Continue with remaining tasks** - IoT tools, mobile dev setup ## Documentation Files For detailed information, see: - `Touchpad-Touchscreen-Setup.md` - Complete setup guide - `Claude.md` - Current system state (updated ✅) - `Session-Summary.md` - All achievements to date --- **System fully operational!** 🚀
