Gentoo Overlay with surface kernel and other utilities from the linux-surface repo. If you find any issues feel free to help resolve them or report them at least.

Installing Gentoo

For installing Gentoo on a Surface device you can follow the Gentoo Handbook. For better hardware support you will need to use the surface-sources package from this repo instead of the regular gentoo-sources. Make sure to enable the appropriate kernel options. For some hardware (namely the touchscreen) you'll need to install the additional packages in this repo.

Usage

Use layman or eselect repositiory.

# layman -a linux-surface

# eselect repository enable linux-surface

Packages

  • surface-sources (the normal gentoo-sources with surface patchsets applied)
  • iptsd (deamon for touchscreen support; enable the service after installing)
  • libwacom-surface (for better touchscreen support)
  • surface-control (a commandline utility for controlling various aspects of surface devices)

Notices

surface-dtx-daemon

Surface-dtx-daemon will be added some time in the future, but I do not have the hardware for it.

iptsd

Iptsd works on openrc and may work on systemd (I don't use systemd).
