Linux on the GPD Win

I got Arch 64 working so far.
The wifi works and the screen orientation is fine. To not get a black screen I had to set "nomodeset" as a kernel parameter.
Could anybody with GUI working tell me, which kernel parameters are set? I would like to get rid of nomodeset.

Thanks for your input.....interesting that nomodeset has worked for you.

Every distro I tried using it with at boot up, gave me error message that it is not an available command (or option, or something like that...).

At the moment I'm stuck at getting Gnome working.

If I try to start Gnome with "startx" it complains about a missing screen.
If I try to start Gnome via GDM the cursor starts blinking in a strange way and nothing happens.

By the way:
It also works fine if I delete "video=efifb" out of the kernel parameter. But it doesn't fix the Gnome issue.

Unfortunately I have not so much time to work on it.

I'm open for new ideas, especially for a full set of kernel parameter of a working GUI system.

I assume you read the info on this page about using Arch:

Arch on WIN

I may decide to try Arch or Manjaro if I can't figure out or get info on why I have such problems with the other distros as I have noted....

No luck so far Manjaro...booted to XFCE desktop, but when I tried rotating screen in Display Settings, it turned black.

Tried booting Arch, but it stopped booting after about 4 lines of text in Console....

Going to try Manjaro one more time.....

To you guys who have been able to rotate display in Display Settings, did you select rotate right or ?

I have been selecting rotate right....

Arch is booting, if you set "nomodeset" as kernel parameter
If you set fbcon=rotate:1 as well, the orientation will match as well.

But I had no luck with GUI

I'm happy for now with my GPD Win setup Manjaro XFCE 16.10 x64, some things still left to do and for some drivers to wait or write .

Working:
* WIFI 2.4 + 5GHz
* screen orientation and framebuffer orientation
* touchscreen + orientation
* integrated speaker
* games recognize all the controller modes xbox + directinput + mouse kb

Work in progress:
* battery indikation (can't currently tell if battery is nearly dead)
* screen brightness (is currently not adjustable)
* volume keys (keys not recognized)
* sd card reader is not detected
* headphones is not detected and gives no sound if forced to enable

Install:
* created bootable USB stick from manjaro-xfce-16.10-stable-x86_64.iso (1.6 GB)
* after boot (default option) manually change screen orientation in display manager
* Installed it to internal emmc storage (including full disk encryption nice - especially important on the go)
(basically the install was as easy as windows. next, next, finish)

After reboot the the config stuff

Wifi
copy the contens of brcmfmac4356-pcie.txt into the file /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4356-pcie.txt

Code:


nano /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4356-pcie.txt


reboot -> works

Screen / Touchscreen / Framebuffer
Add the following kernel parameters to change the framebuffer orientation "video=efifb fbcon=rotate:1", then reboot

Code:


# nano nano /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="... video=efifb fbcon=rotate:1"
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg


reboot -> works

I then created a bash script which rotates my screen an touchscreen every-time i login. (Settings -> Startup and Session -> Application Autostart)

Code:


#!/bin/bash
# rotate screen
xrandr -o right
# change touchscreen orientation
xinput set-prop 'Goodix Capacitive TouchScreen' 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1


I tried exactly this system with exactly your information. After trying to rotate the screen, it keeps black... no matter if I do it according to your description, with video=efifb fbcon=rotate:1 or without and no matter if I do it via the display manager or via xrandr.

Very strange.

Now I also tried Fedora 24 KDE 64 including video=efifb and fbcon=rotate:1
It boots to KDE.
I made the script to rotate, kill and restart

Code:

#!/bin/bash
xrandr -o right
sleep 5
pkill plasmashell
sleep 5
plasmashell &

but the display keeps black.

Now I'm completely out of ideas.
I'm using the default bios settings. Does that matter?

That seems odd that it works in console but not with GUI.....but then this all seems odd..

I tried Manjaro again and it did not work when rotating in XFCE Display Settings, screen turned black again.....

hi,

yes at install i did rotate the screen using the display manager and it was working (no black screen issue). however i did fiddle around in the bios before hands. I`m currently very busy but i will try to post my bios settings tomorrow. afaik I turned off tpm and all the windows secure boot bullshit. I think i also switched while installing from 'windows 8.1' to 'android' and after install back again be cause wifi wouldn't work in this setting. hope this info helps for now. as i said I try posting my complete bios settings tomorrow.

This is helpful and will be great if you can post what you changed in bios.

Hmmm........'windows 8.1' to 'android'.......

Again, will be great if you can share what you changed in bios.....

Thanks.

so writing all these settings down sucked realy hard.   omg there are so many settings to fiddle around with....

Wow!....Thank you for writing them all down.....

I thought you would just write the ones you changed from the default setting. Although maybe it's hard to remember.....

Will compare yours to mine....

Tried Manjaro again.

This time added:

Code:


nomodeset video-efifb fbcon=rotate:1


to the boot parameters and booted up Manjaro.

Now, Console text is rotated correctly. Nice!!!

However, after I got to desktop, I tried rotating display and it turned black.......

It has to be BIOS version or settings regarding the display/intel graphics in the BIOS. Because as i'm sure like me you tested your unit before hands with WIN10 and it worked. By the way have you got the 8700 or 8750?

Good point....although the question then is which setting.....

However, as you say, the display is rotated correctly when I boot up Win 10......so, bios settings must be correct.....

t4skforce,

Forgot to answer your question....

My WIN has the 8700....

I haven't tried Linux yet on the GPD Win, as I have use for the windows installation, and I will sometime in the future set up single boot Linux and boot Windows from USB when I want to play Windows only games. I wish I had two units so I could use one for development and one for gaming until I had this sorted out. But here are some clues for you guys.

nomodeset is bad, it is basically like booting without GPU, the desktop and other applications can't be hardware accelerated.

You should be able to use video=1280x800@60 instead of nomodeset, it should also fix the issue with rotating in some desktops.

To get battery meter and more working, we need to have a proper DSDT table. Here is the DSDT table I extracted from Windows https://www.dropbox.com/s/s8s8kkehsetsl92/DSDT.bin My file will only work if we have the same BIOS version, if not dump your own file. My BIOS version is 2.17.1249

So install iasl and use it to decompile the DSDT binary file. Something like this

Code:

iasl -d DSDT.bin

Then you can just try to compile it again and look for errors.

Code:

iasl -tc DSDT.dsl

or whatever the filename of the dsl file created by the previous command. The dsl file can be edited with nano or whatever.

Then add the output file from the compiling into your kernel source, or install it into your system and make your bootloader beware of the DSDT table. Google should help.

Could you please upload the DSDT.bin again? It's blocked due to high traffic.
I also would like to try it.

I got Manjaro KDE working with correct screen rotation. I didn't need to do special things, just turn it in the gui, not via xrandr and then reboot.

Wow!....Thank you for writing them all down.....

I thought you would just write the ones you changed from the default setting. Although maybe it's hard to remember.....

Will compare yours to mine....

Finally had the time and energy to go through all the BIOS settings and compare them to your settings. Like you said, there's a lot of settings!

Turns out, most of our settings and info match, except for just a few items....

Here's what I notice as different from your WIN on mine:

Build Date and Time: 10/25/16 10:43:29 (I did a BIOS update....)

Intel (R) GOP Driver: 8.0.1038 (yours is 8.0.2038)

System Component
* MS Custom Sdbus Driver: Enabled (yours is Disabled...)

* Persistent RAM size: Enabled (yours is Disabled...)

* Offline Crash Dump se: Enabled (yours is Disabled...)

Memory Configuration Options
* Channel Select Bits: 14 (yours is 4)


Would you suggest I change my settings to match yours for the items above?


A few items I have, but don't see on your list (unless I just missed it somehow...) :

Display From TypeC
* TypeC Lane Allocation: [2 lanes]

Graphics Power Management
* RC6 (Render Standby): Enabled


Any comments on these items?

Thanks!

I am looking forward to your solving this. There are a couple of other threads that may be relevant for hints. Archlinux has some exchanges where the advice is that the hsync and vsync values of the "monitor" may be wrong and if the correct ones could be found we could solve this with a monitor file. If you have it working on Manjaro maybe you could look up these settings to share? And on redditt there is also some information.

Basically right now you can "almost" get everything except the screen working out of the box on Archlinux (it really doesn't matter whether you use the lts or current kernel, [maybe the Manjaro users could see what kernel they are running where screen rotation works]). The only option you need on the command line is i915.fastboot=1 This keeps the computer from trying to modeset during the boot process. This keeps the screen from going black during boot (you do not want nomodeset or you won't be able to use X - current kernels need modesetting). The fbcon=rotate:1 will rotate the console, but does not affect any of the X windows later. It is only a console setting. the video=efifb is only for apple intel as far as I can tell (though does no harm). Setting video=1280x800_60 doesn't work for me - that mode is not available for th screen anyway, and I think it is 1280x720 so I don't think you can get that mode.

Anyway maybe some of this will help someone get us up and working on Linux. I need this more than every now as when Windows tried to update itself yesterday it failed and on trying to undo itself it borked it's own boot file. So, now I don't have windows and I don't want to reinstall.

Link to archlinux forum: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1670895#p1670895
Link to reddit discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/gpdwin/comments/5ac10q/native_linux_on_the_gpd_win/

Great info, britt......

Have console rotated correctly, but not in X windows......

What I find so odd is why some people have been able to install a linux distro and get screen rotated from desktop gui settings and others like me have done the same install, but screen just turns black when we try it.

So, keep wondering what is different on WIN between the two groups that makes the difference between it working for some and not for others.

Hopefully, we will sort this out soon....

Hi guys,

I left out the settings below intentionally, too much to write and usb-3c settings and power management stuff shouldn't be the issue.

I actually reenabled it as it disabled the sd-card slot on HW Level, still does not work some driver issue (mmc1: error -84 whilst initialising SD card).


As for the BIOS-Setting difference, I would try my settings (now you know the diff) and if it does not work, I would think about downgrading the BIOS to the version I'm using right now. As I was writing before, I had a normal install, no issues, rotate worked on the GUI  in the Live-environment and after normal boot.

Thanks, t4skforce.....will try your settings....

As for downgrading BIOS, I had the older version before and had same problem rotating display.....so, doubt it would help.

@t4skforce Thank you for providing your xorg.conf file and kernel. That doesn't seem to fix the problem for me. I played with xorg settings, but never got things to work (NB: if using archlinux I believe one needs to pacman -S xf86-video-intel to get that DRI driver section to work). So close, but alas, beyond my patience and ability. Will continue to monitor the thread. Good luck. Might be nice if some gpd engineers chimed in.

Thank you for the dsdt file. i used iasl as described. i got a few errors but I will try to put it in grub. Here is the output:

This dsdt-thing makes me crazy. According to what I found using google it is adviced to update to the latest Bios. Unfortunatelly instead of using the GPD website, the supplier uses a one-klick-hoster who most likely deleted that file already...


Another update:
After updating Manjaro to the latest kernel (4.8 or 4.9rc) the sound is working and after shutting down the device switches off by itself. That's at least something.


Now it would be time for the producer of the GPD WIN to help a bit. It would be nice.
GPD Team, where are you? Please help.
