[Bug 2084591] Re: [X1E] Galaxy Book 4 Edge Support

[irtix]

Yes! There is now a reverse-engineering attempt ongoing from an Italian
channel on YT:

https://github.com/Saddytech/Galaxy-Book4-Edge-linux

They seem to be using AI for this, but it appears to be doing a good job
in gluing together changes from across upstream and available repos, and
there's an image compiled too.

Afaics, GPU is not yet working there, but according to the docs that
seems to be because they pulled the GPU node from my gh repo, and not
the patch that was submitted upstream (with the former having it
disabled to avoid issues in case of old Mesa). Just switching that node
back to "okay" should be enough to fix that.

More importantly, they've managed to get around some of the major
papercuts, with both the battery monitoring and keyboard backlight now
working.

Title:
  [X1E] Galaxy Book 4 Edge Support

Status in ubuntu-concept:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  == Device Information ==

  IdentifyingNumber : 6T619FFX700282M
  Name : Galaxy Book4 Edge
  Vendor : SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
  Version : 2.1
  Caption : Computer System Product

  == Kernel Support ==

  Not booting, awaiting test feedback for latest change

  Original:

  With the release of the ISO image, there appears to be initial support
  for running Ubuntu on devices with the Snapdragon X Elite ARM64 chips.
  I own a Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Edge with a X1E84100 CPU, and I would
  love to get Ubuntu on this device. I cannot offer much in way of code
  contribution but I am willing to perform any testing necessary to
  progress towards getting Ubuntu running on it.

  As a proactive measure, I created a bootable USB with the Ubuntu
  Concept ISO image written to it. I was able to reach a Grub menu and
  used the "Try or install" option on grub. Afterwards, I reached a
  blank black screen for around 30-45 seconds before my laptop rebooted.
  I can provide media if that would help convey the behavior. Lastly, if
  there is any additional information I can provide related to this
  device I'm more than happy to oblige.

  Thanks,

  Patrick W.
