## Post-Installation
1. Add this overlay (i.e. 'layman -a gentoo-linux-surface-overlay')
1. emerge at least gentoo-surface-sources, iptsd, libwacom-surface, and surface-control (libcamera if you want camera support and surface-dtx-daemon if you have a surface book.)
1. emerge at least iptsd, libwacom-surface, and surface-control (libcamera if you want camera support and surface-dtx-daemon if you have a surface book.)
1. Go grab my gentoo-surface-sources script to get a working kernel that includes the surface patchset and the Gentoo patchset: https://github.com/CanuteTheGreat/toolbox/tree/master/gentoo-surface-sources
## Configuraton
1. For the kernel I have includeed a sample config in /usr/src/gentoo-surface-sources-<version>/EXAMPLE.config that you can cp to .config and use as-is if you like
1. If you want keyboard to work correctly during boot the easiest solution is to just include all kernel modules in the initrd image (for genkernel users add/edit /etc/genkernel.conf: ALLRAMDISKMODULES="yes")
1. Enable itpsd: systemctl enable --now iptsd
1. If you have a surface book, enable the dtx daemons (system and user): 'systemctl enable --now surface-dtx-daemon.service' (as root) and 'systemctl enable --user --now surface-dtx-userd.service' (as your regular non-root user.)
