Hi all,
I also recently purchased ROG GL702ZC and am currently working on getting it fully operational with NixOS. It already mostly works, except for a couple of "kinks" that I'm having trouble working out. I'm somewhat new to in-depth Linux hardware wrangling so perhaps I'm missing something obvious - I'm hoping one of you might be able to point me in the right direction.
The issues:
- if I suspend to RAM, the screen stays black on wake-up. External monitors are partially affected in that I can poke them back to life by switching to a virtual tty and back, but no such luck with the built-in screen. I have tried adjusting the backlight by writing to /sys/class/backlight/... and while my experiments worked when the screen was on they did nothing when the problem showed up. Actually power-cycling the laptop (i.e hibernating to disk and turning back on, or actually rebooting) restores the screen.
- the trackpad is entirely non-functional. I suspect I need to use/study TMM_'s kernel more for this one - I'll look into it once I get suspend working.
(very) basic info: I'm running what I believe to be stock kernel 4.15.15 and have the least interesting amdgpu + X11 + i3 setup I could manage. Let me know what else you might need, I'm not sure what is relevant.
