GPD Pocket 3 Linux setup
This document documents solutions to various issues I encountered when setting up my GPD Pocket 3. This is the Intel 7505 model. For the most part I followed the Arch installation guide.
Wireless card not detected
Plug into mains power before booting. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_configuration/Wireless#Cause_#6
Small font size in installation media
setfont -d
to double font size
Screen is rotated
The Pocket 3 uses a screen with a default portrait orientation. During installation, run the following command to temporarily fix the orientation:
`echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fbcon/rotate_all`
Post-installation, add the following kernel parameters:
fbcon=rotate:1 video=DSI-1:panel_orientation=right_side_up
Connect to wifi in installation media
# iwctl
> station list
> station wlan0 get-networks
> station wlan0 connection {ssid}
SDDM login screen is rotated
Add the following to /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup
:
xrandr --output DSI-1 --rotate right
Bluetooth module not detected
Install bluez
and bluez-utils
. Enable the bluetooth service with systemctl enable bluetooth
.
