This is a collection of scripts, quirks and patches to improve the use of a Samsung TabPro S under Linux distros.
A couple of items require some attention for this device
ath10k QCA6174
. The firmware support for this device is rather messy and the wrong set of files will break it. Place the contents of the ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0
dir in /lib/firmware
and be sure to delete anything else in there. This firmware works very well (30MByte/s on 5ghz without issue) on 4.7.x.intel_backlight
, probably because the display is OLED. The way to adjust brightness is by means of xrandr --brightness
; a script is included that uses inotify to monitor changes to intel_backlight
so that all existing brightness management tools can function correctly. It should be started with your display manager or in your user session.ALC298
