Requirements - Lid and Monitor Behavior

1. Lid closed + External monitors: Disable laptop screen, continue on externals ✅
2. Lid closed + No externals: Enter suspend/sleep mode ✅
3. Lid open + Docked: Three-monitor mode (2 external + laptop) ✅
4. Lid open + Wake from sleep: Resume all active monitors ✅
5. Dock disconnected: Switch to mobile-only mode ✅
6. Dock connected: Auto-detect and enable external monitors ✅
7. Dynamic profiles: Support different monitor configs ✅
8. Waybar auto-update: Updates on monitor configuration changes ✅

Technical Considerations

• ACPI events are available and triggered
• OpenRC service management (not systemd)
• elogind for session management and suspend/resume
• Hyprland monitor configuration via hyprctl
• DisplayLink requires special handling (no VRR, blur, tearing, direct scanout)
• Single user (alexander) - no multi-user complexity needed
• AMD P-State EPP driver for CPU frequency scaling

Battery Conservation Setup

Manage battery charge thresholds for extended battery lifespan on ThinkPad.

Full documentation: See scripts/battery-setup/README.md for complete setup instructions, battery science, and troubleshooting.

Status: ✅ WORKING - Battery threshold management fully functional!

Hardware Support:

• ThinkPad battery threshold support via thinkpad_acpi module
• Battery: BAT0
• Thresholds: Fully supported and working

Quick Start:

# Install from the scripts folder
cd scripts/battery-setup
sudo cp battery-setup /usr/local/bin/battery-setup
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions
sudo cp _battery-setup /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_battery-setup

# Install OpenRC service for persistence
sudo cp battery-thresholds /etc/init.d/battery-thresholds
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/battery-thresholds
sudo cp battery-thresholds.conf /etc/conf.d/battery-thresholds
sudo rc-update add battery-thresholds boot

# Show current status
battery-setup

# Enable conservation mode (RECOMMENDED)
sudo battery-setup conservation

# For travel: enable full charge mode
sudo battery-setup full

Features:

• Conservation mode (20-80%) for battery longevity
• Full charge mode (0-100%) for maximum capacity
• Custom threshold ranges
• Battery health monitoring
• Charge cycle tracking
• Persistent settings across reboots (OpenRC service)
• Color-coded terminal output
• ZSH autocompletion

Battery Science:

• Keeping battery at 20-80% can double battery lifespan
• High voltage states (90-100%) accelerate degradation
• Ideal for docked/frequent AC usage
• Reduces stress on lithium-ion cells
• Heat + high charge = worst combination for battery

Configuration:

• Default: Conservation mode (20-80%)
• Start charging: When battery drops below 20%
• Stop charging: When battery reaches 80%
• Laptop runs on AC power while maintaining ~80%

Script Location: /usr/local/bin/battery-setup

Touchpad and Touchscreen Setup

Status: ✅ WORKING - Both devices fully functional!

Hardware:

• Touchpad: ELAN901C I2C HID device (ACPI: ELAN901C:00, PNP0C50)
• Touchscreen: ELAN0678 I2C HID multitouch display (ACPI: ELAN0678:00, PNP0C50)

Problem (Resolved): Both devices detected but not functional - missing CONFIG_PINCTRL_AMD kernel support

Root Cause: genkernel was silently ignoring config changes. After 4 rebuild attempts, discovered genkernel uses separate config in /etc/kernels/ that overrides /usr/src/linux/.config.

Solution (Implemented):

1. ✅ Switched to manual kernel compilation (no genkernel)
2. ✅ Enabled CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI=m
3. ✅ Enabled CONFIG_PINCTRL_AMD=y (critical for GPIO interrupts on AMD platforms)

Kernel Configuration:

• CONFIG_I2C_HID=m ✅ Enabled
• CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI=m ✅ Enabled
• CONFIG_PINCTRL_AMD=y ✅ Enabled (built-in)

Functionality Verified:

• ✅ Touchpad cursor movement and multi-finger gestures
• ✅ Touchscreen touch and multitouch input
• ✅ Modules load automatically (i2c-hid-acpi)

Full Documentation: See Touchpad-Touchscreen-Setup.md and POST-REBOOT-CHECKLIST.md

Power Management

Dynamic power management with automatic profile switching based on AC adapter status.

Full documentation: See Power-Management-Setup.md for complete details and advanced configuration.

Features:

• ✅ Automatic AC/Battery profile switching via ACPI events
• ✅ CPU frequency scaling (performance/powersave governors)
• ✅ AMD P-State EPP tuning (power/performance preferences)
• ✅ GPU power management (DPM states)
• ✅ Laptop mode for disk power saving
• ✅ ~30-50% battery life improvement
• ✅ Detailed logging to /var/log/power-profile.log

Status: Fully installed and working.

Quick Check:

# Check current profile
cat /sys/class/power_supply/AC/online  # 1 = AC, 0 = battery
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

# View power profile log
tail -f /var/log/power-profile.log

# Manual profile switch
sudo /usr/local/bin/power-profile-ac      # Performance mode
sudo /usr/local/bin/power-profile-battery # Power saving mode

Components:

• /usr/local/bin/power-profile-ac - Performance profile
• /usr/local/bin/power-profile-battery - Power saving profile
• /etc/acpi/default.sh - ACPI event handler (auto-switching)

Timezone Configuration

Current Timezone: Europe/Berlin (CET/CEST)

• System clock runs in UTC internally
• Display time shows CET (UTC+1) or CEST (UTC+2) with automatic DST transitions
• Configured via /etc/localtime → /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin

Kernel Configuration

Version: 6.12.41-gentoo-x86_64

Build Method: MANUAL COMPILATION ONLY - genkernel is NOT used

⚠️ CRITICAL NOTE:

• NEVER USE GENKERNEL FOR ANY FUTURE TASKS
• genkernel was found to be unreliable - it uses separate config files in /etc/kernels/ that override /usr/src/linux/.config, causing config changes to be silently ignored
• After 4 failed rebuild attempts, we switched to manual kernel compilation for full control
• All kernel builds MUST use the automated build script: scripts/build-kernel.sh

Automated Kernel Build Script: scripts/build-kernel.sh

# Run the automated build script (handles everything)
sudo ./scripts/build-kernel.sh

What the script does:

1. Backs up current .config to .config.backup
2. Runs make mrproper (clean build tree)
3. Restores .config from backup
4. Runs make oldconfig (update config)
5. Builds kernel with make -j16
6. Installs modules with make modules_install
7. Creates timestamped backups in /boot
8. Copies kernel to /boot/vmlinuz-6.12.41-gentoo-x86_64
9. Generates initramfs with dracut
10. Updates GRUB configuration
11. Logs everything to logs/kernel-build-TIMESTAMP.log

Manual Build Process (if script unavailable):

# Extract current running config
zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/linux/.config

# Edit config as needed
cd /usr/src/linux
sudo make oldconfig

# Build kernel
sudo make -j16

# Install modules
sudo make modules_install

# Copy kernel to /boot
sudo cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-6.12.41-gentoo-x86_64

# Generate initramfs
sudo dracut --force --kver 6.12.41-gentoo-x86_64 /boot/initramfs-6.12.41-gentoo-x86_64.img

# Update GRUB
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Saved Configuration: kernel-6.12.41-gentoo-x86_64.config

Key Optimizations:

• AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 specific optimizations
• MediaTek MT7925 WiFi 7 support (CONFIG_MT7925E=m)
• MediaTek MT7925 Bluetooth support (CONFIG_BT_HCIBTUSB_MTK=y)
• I2C HID ACPI support (CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI=m) - for touchpad and touchscreen ✅
• AMD Pinctrl support (CONFIG_PINCTRL_AMD=y) - REQUIRED for GPIO interrupts on touchpad/touchscreen ✅
• USB4/Thunderbolt support (CONFIG_USB4=m, CONFIG_THUNDERBOLT=m)
• AMD P-State EPP driver (CONFIG_X86_AMD_PSTATE=y, mode 3 - active)
• DisplayLink support
• Power management optimizations

Latest Kernel Build: November 5, 2025 - Successfully built with manual compilation (touchpad/touchscreen working)
