GPD Gyro woes after sleep
@justinweiss @Aru let's get a discussion going about the gyro sleep issue in gpd
Observed on GPD 4 2023, 2024, and Win Max (?) across all kernels and OSs (Nix, chimeraos, bazzite)

on my WM2 (6800u) the gyro doesn't work.
but for the GPD Win 4, the gyro workaround is required for the 6800u, 7840u, and 8840u models
what does that mean
I confirmed the issue on my 6800u, I helped a different user with a 7840u, and then there's the 8840u report
steam input doesn't show gyro working
what gyro does it have?
it never actually worked on my WM2, even with an updated bazzite
could have said something, although i think it might be a 160 and bazzite doesnt ship the patch
err, not sure. i had assumed it was the same as the win 4, but never investigated it
i don't really use my WM2 for gaming, so I never investigated
i just turned off gyro and ignored it
yeah gpd users are not my n1 customer
the gyro workaround worked fine on my Win 4, figured that it was a low-priority issue and wouldn't be investigated anytime soon
yeah but now we're getting a lot more gpd users it seems
i had brought up the idea of implementing the workaround as a ujust
lets fix the driver
make sure you can reproduce it on a fresh boot without hhd running
then we can move on from there
as you know from the suspend issue the ally/legion go had that workaround is dangerous
how would i test the gyro without hhd running?
start it after you suspend once or twice
it only matters its not running until after the suspend
ah gotcha, so disable, reboot, suspend a few times, then start hhd and see if it's broken
but bazzite restarts the hhd service on boot 🤔
