Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 3rd generation

These are my notes on getting Gentoo fully functional on the Lenovo X1 Carbon, 3rd generation.

Kernel

Suspend / Resume

In order for suspend / resume (particularly the resume) to work properly, you must enable the following:

Device Drivers ->
  Character devices ->
    <Y|M> TPM Hardware Support ->
      <Y|M> TPM Interface Specification 1.2 Interface / TPM 2.0 FIFO Interface

Resetting chip after gpu hang error

Error messages like the following:

drm/i915: Resetting chip after gpu hang

...seem to be caused by the enablement of Intel DMA remapping devices. To fix, you can either not enable them by default in your kernel:

Device Drivers ->
  IOMMU Hardware Support ->
    Support for Intel IOMMU using DMA Remapping Devices ->
      <N> Enable Intel DMA Remapping Devices by default

...or (probably easier) disable them on the kernel command line with the following option:

intel_iommu=off
