[Metal-Bat]

hi there i have 13-bf0xxx and i am despert to find a way to make my laptop works as it should i hate to see these locks on laptops to make people use shitdows and fight with free software mindest 2 things first thanks for the patches second do you have any idea to fix camera and touch? i mean do they need manufacture updates or we can ignore them, it's a reall pain in ass to patch kernel only for suspend and sound b.c touch and camera is as important as other things

Hi. My patches and the pre-compiled kernel fix two things, 1) speakers, 2) suspend and resume.

Sadly the webcam of this laptop is not standard UVC webcam but uses Intel ipu6 drivers. There's not much we can do until Intel engineers properly upstream the support in Linux kernel and userland drivers. There's even less information on the touch screen and orientation sensor. I'm also watching the development of webcam and touch screen support, but unfortunately the progress is slow and the support is simply not there yet.

Touchscreen should be fixable with ithc and iptsd from the surface kernel. This is what I'm doing on Manjaro:
