Surface 3 (not pro)



Hello!! I have a Surface 3 and i have tested Remix OS and looked for info. What i have checked is Surface 3 hasn´t got a touchscreen driver for Linux software (someone was developing it) so touchscreen isn´t able to use it.

Surface 3 is one of the best tablets right now and a known device, so... why don´t we have a functional Android Rom? Please, help and support for a Rom for Surface 3 or dialogue with Remix OS team for include a touchscreen driver for Surface 3! Thanks! :)

Using a Surface Pro 2, almost there, but seeking advice to go the rest of the way



I have a Surface Pro 2 that runs Remix OS PC 3 well enough, it just doesn't sleep it very well. Based on some complaints from regular Linux distributions I figured out that the lid closed switch freaks out on wakeup. That can be taken care of easily enough with a

Code:


echo LID0 disabled > /proc/acpi/wakeup

Now 90% of the time the tablet wakes up correctly. That last 10% it still has problems. What happens, and this was the same as before adjusting LID0, is the screen comes on full brightness, then either turns off or freezes after a few seconds. Either way, a reboot is required to fix it. I can usually get to the debug terminal, but the graphical display is broken.

Another remaining issue is the wifi. Once it's working, it works well enough, except that the region stuff isn't set, so the driver doesn't enable 5ghz. On Ubuntu

Code:


modprobe mwifiex reg_alpha2=US

will get it working, but the region information doesn't appear to be in Remix, because that doesn't enable 5ghz, or produce the expected cfg80211 initialization messages. Any advice on setting wifi region in Remix?

Is there any init.d type mechanism I can tap into? I tried using kernel adiutor's init.d emulation, but despite toast messages suggesting it's working, I still have to manually disable LID0.
