Some Notes on Void Linux on System76 Galagopro 2.

VoidLinux-On-System76_GalagoPro2.md

These are some notes for running void linux on System76 Galagopro 2. Don't blindly cut-copy-paste, use your common sense.

Kernel

Some useful Kernel boot options.

In /etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash loglevel=4 slub_debug=P page_poison=1 ec_sys.write_support=1 atkbd.reset intel_pstate=skylake_hwp psmouse.synaptics_intertouch=1 video=eDP-1:2048x1152-32@60 i915.enable_dc=2 i915.enable_guc=3 i915.modeset=1 i915.disable_power_well=0 i915.fastboot=1"

Kernel Modules in initramfs

In /etc/dracut.conf

hostonly="yes"
add_drivers+="intel_agp drm i915"
tmpdir=/tmp

X

Mostly X should start up without needing anything extra, but you can add the following for some extra control.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "eDP-1"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Intel Graphics"
        Driver     "intel"
        Option     "AccelMethod" "sna"
        Option     "TearFree" "true"
EndSection

Touchpad

libinput drivers work much better than synaptics drivers. If you've installed both, then copy /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/, so that it is preferred over synaptics.

Sometimes my touchpad freezes on startup, so I have udevadm trigger /dev/input/event15 in /etc/rc.local (event15 is my mouse, check your dmesg to figure out yours).

Power Management

I run tlp, acpid and thermald daemons, they seem happy to coexist. For sleeping if I just use zzz or pm-suspend then the display and/or keyboard hang after resuming from sleep, but running the following command works perfectly everytime.

pm-suspend --quirk-dpms-on --quirk-dpms-suspend
