[SB2] Kernel partially works

[vonAlenberg]

Hey @dmhacker , thanks for your great work!

I got some strange issues with your kernel, so maybe your or someone else is able to help me.

Issues:

• Touchscreen works, but orientation is off hen turning the tablet. So, in landscape mode it's alright, in portrait and reversed landscape it's off.
• The installed kernel vmlinuz-linux-surface is never recignized by rEFInd. No automatic detection, not in seperate boot stanzas.
• When reinstalling the releases, it doesn't enable touchscreen and pen. So I always have to run the setup script before (re)installing the kernel

What I did:

• Clone your repo.
• Run the setup script.
• Install the downloaded releases.

System:

• SB2 15'' Linux-only install
• Linux Atlantis 5.0.10-1-surface #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri May 3 15:07:37 PDT 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thanks in advance, vonAlenberg

Have you taken a look at your refind conf to see if the linux-surface kernel is showing up there? Not familiar with rEFInd, but looking at the wiki page, there's a section for kernels not automatically detected, but I think you need to create a manual boot stanza in your conf file.

EDIT: adding subsection of rEFInd wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/REFInd#Manual_boot_stanzas

Thatnks for the link, will again look into it; currently I just rename the images when installed.

However the other issues still persist.
