## 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

## 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**:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# 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`
|
|
```bash
|
|
# 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):
|
|
```bash
|
|
# 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`
