User:Holgersson/Lenovo Thinkpad T14s (AMD) Gen 1

= Lenovo Thinkpad T14s (AMD) Gen 1 = This article covers specific aspects of the T14s when running with Gentoo. Plenty details are already covered by the wiki article on wiki.archlinux.org, see External ressources.

Graphics
Follow the instructions on AMDGPU. AMD SME is actually working well with AMDGPU on the T14s.

Sound
The sound chip needs >=media-sound/pulseaudio-14.0, which is not yet bumped. See this bug report for working ebuilds until it is in-tree.

Smartcard reader
not tested

Micro-SD card reader
not tested

Touchpad and trackpoint
The touchpad vendor is Elantech, not Synaptics and the driver suggests in dmesg to use the SMBus interface instead of PS2: CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=m CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS=y CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS_SMBUS=y CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_TRACKPOINT=y CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ELANTECH=y CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ELANTECH_SMBUS=y CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_SMBUS=y

Webcam and IR webcam
Both webcams are working. For the IR webcam take a look at projects around the howdy project, that enable the IR transmitter. In my case this project worked:

Please keep in mind that unlocking with biometric data should be considered unsafe.
