ChanServ changed the topic of #aarch64-laptops to: Linux support for AArch64 Laptops (Asus NovaGo TP370QL - HP Envy x2 - Lenovo Mixx 630 - Lenovo Yoga C630)

bamse: ah, i think Arch does connectivity checking by default (no idea if debian does) - kali doesn't, as we're meant to be silent on the network
<qzed>
steev: so you got the dp-aux thing working now?
<steev>
qzed: i have display now yeah :D
<steev>
well, mostly
<qzed>
nice!
<steev>
sometimes it takes 3-7 boots to get it
<qzed>
hmm, it's somewhat random for me too but not that bad
<steev>
not sure what/where the badness is, but i have 0 visibility as there is no logs
<qzed>
bamse suggested some things, like building in CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_EDP
<qzed>
I think those help a bit
<qzed>
also the disable deferred probe timeout commit
<qzed>
I'm not really sure what specifically the magic combination is, but the things I have in my config fragment seem to work mostly well
<qzed>
still, like one in five boots is still bad
<steev>
maybe i'll try building in edp
<steev>
i have the disable deferred commit
<qzed>
I think the reasoning was that the drm code probes the panel when probing some part of the drm stack, and that works more reliably if the module is already loaded
<steev>
makes sense, i just need to go up the stack to see why it wants to stay =m here
<steev>
qzed: but yes, the mp usb stuff also works, as i now have the webcam available :D
<qzed>
awesome!
<qzed>
thanks for testing!
<steev>
you pretty much wrote it, i just did the stuff
<steev>
now my only issue is, if i sit at the console, it works longtime, but if i go into X or wayland, it locks up pretty quick, but nothing in the logs about why
<steev>
i'm wondering if it really dislikes your a680 firmwares on it
<qzed>
hmm... I wonder if there's actually any difference in firmware between the flex and spx
<steev>
how did you extract that? i could provide the same file, or extract mine
<qzed>
ghidra
<steev>
everyone using ghidra these days
<qzed>
took a bit, but you can fairly quickly find the GMU stuff
<qzed>
the GMU struff is fairly well structured in some block format
