Installation

UEFI updates

Before removing Windows from the laptop, run the latest UEFI updates from Lenovo, as there is no way to do so once Linux is running.

Legacy boot

Do not use Compatibility Support Module (CSM) legacy boot services to run Linux, there are some firmware bugs preventing CPU frequency scaling from working.

Use rEFInd USB stick to boot into a UEFI installation media, or, to convert an existing system to EFI boot. This is beyond the scope of the article.

Firmware

The sys-kernel/linux-firmware package is required as it provides the firmware for the AMDGPU driver and Atheros WiFi adapter.

root #dmesg

[   16.770063] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: firmware ver WLAN.TF.1.0-00002-QCATFSWPZ-5 api 5 features ignore-otp crc32 c3e0d04f

Kernel

As of kernel version 4.19.x, everything is functional including the touchpad. To make the touchpad work, use this Kernel Configuration Files.

If the `amdgpu` module and its firmware are not included in the initramfs, the module may fail to load later due to a race condition and neither X nor virtual terminals will be accessible. This is random, and it may or may not fail. However, adding the amdgpu driver to the initramfs does prevent this issue entirely.

FILE /etc/dracut.conf.d/drivers.conf

force_drivers+="amdgpu"

Rebuild initramfs using dracut.

Configuration

Compiler settings

More info is available at:

FILE /etc/portage/make.conf

# O2 for super-safe output
CFLAGS="-march=znver1 -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j4"

Packages settings

For more info: CPU_FLAGS_X86

FILE /etc/portage/make.conf

# Obtained via cpuinfo2cpuflags-x86
CPU_FLAGS_X86="aes avx avx2 fma3 mmx mmxext pclmul popcnt sse sse2 sse3 sse4_1 sse4_2 sse4a ssse3"

As of August 2018, your mileage may vary with released versions of Mesa, libdrm, and xf86-video-amdgpu. Adding to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS using `**` will bring in the latest code that has many unreleased fixes at the expense of random compile failures.

USE flags

With AMDGPU as video driver and libinput as input driver add the USE flag libinput and remove any NVIDIA-specific USE flags that may cause issues later.

FILE /etc/portage/make.conf

VIDEO_CARDS="radeonsi amdgpu"
# Input devices
INPUT_DEVICES="libinput"
# Useflags
USE="libinput -xvmc -vdpau -cuda"

Utils

Battery charge thresholds

Use: app-laptop/tpacpi-bat. Example econfig and instructions can be found at: github.com/teleshoes/tpacpi-bat.

fan control

I was unable to make fan control work, but the plumbing is all there and it claims to be supported. Here's some tips.

Use: app-laptop/thinkfan.

FILE /etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad.conf

options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1

FILE /etc/thinkfan.conf

tp_fan /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
