screen upside down - Legion go
Screen is upside down in game mode. It’s correct in desktop mode. How can I fix this?
82 Replies
Trying to reinstall and my legion go looks like this now
Sideways
display is native portrait, being like that in the installer is normal
also going to try replicate on my LGO with the upside down screen but i doubt it will be upside down
Okay thank you. Will update thread once installation complete as well
theres a display quirk patch in the kernel
why would it have the wrong rotation
was it ever correct?
cant replicate, newest stable, screen is correct
maybe its a new dmi? doubt it but worth checking once their install is done
I have been stuck on the "Updating Kargs" screen currently.
just wait, it takes a while
Reinstalled and game mode is still upside down.
if you think about it
if the dmi was wrong it wouldnt be upside down it would be sideways
journalctl -b 0 | fpaste
press ctrl + alt + f3 then bazzite pass bazzite
have you done any modding on your unit?Sorry I’m not super familiar with the technical terms. I myself didn’t mod but I bought the unit from micro center and they upgraded to 2 tb
ok, find a keyboard
or
go to desktop
and type that in a terminal
Ok it says uploading
link
Doesn’t let me type in the password after hitting bazzite
it does
you just cant see the password
if it said uploading though wheres the link?
thats a very special unit is all i can say
yeah indeed
light sensor is on the right right?
the even odder thing is that the portrait is oriented the right way (natively) in the installer
2 sec let me get my unit again
i will make a guess
drumroll please
its missing a dmi
ie dmi is empty
which breaks the installer
and causes gamescope session to enter the loop the gpd guy had
light sensor is on right
i know it is on your unit
im looking at my legion go right now
@Ghost👻 can you tell me the output of
/usr/libexec/hwsupport/sysid
What do I do for this so sorry
you type it into the terminal and press enter
It's ok
Look at the paste
30044c11
INVA
i suspect thats different
It is
@Kyle Gospo
New dmi dropped
i will see if i can get it added
Unfortunately it will take a couple days to fix
also i suspect its INVA for INVALID 🤔
did you have to rotate the desktop mode display?
Yes. Initally it was sideways
ok
LENOVO INVA
- Geekbench
Benchmark results for a LENOVO INVA with an Intel Core i5-6200U processor.
wait
intel
huh
the fuck?
anyways
i will at least patch the desktop mode, gamescope probably needs a patch in gamescope-session
https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/9526494?baseline=9526494
dont patch anything yet
yeah, don't fix broken shit
something is very wrong here
and not in our stuff
youll need to reinstall the bios
install bios 23
maybe that fixes it
if not, dunno
do i do this with bazzite installed still
do you have windows?
On the legion go no. I didnt do dual boot
I pretty much followed this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGAInLzu-es

Turn Your Handheld Gaming PC Into A Steam Deck With Bazzite Linux! ...
Bazzite is a custom Linux image That Turns your handheld gaming device into a Steam Deck!
In this video I show you how to install Bazzite on your handheld gaming PC like the Legion Go, ROG ALLY, GPD4 and many more.
With TDP Control access to a desktop interface and Gamepad Ui on your handheld Bazzite has turned out to be an Awesome OS for my Han...
This is a hardware/firmware problem, your install of bazzite is fine
nothing about how it's installed or what you did can cause this
Overriding / Patching Linux System Serial Number
I'm a big fan of test driven development (TDD) for infrastructure components. I'm currently working on a hardware-related topic where w...
maybe we need to investigate something like this as this will probably become a common occurence
little systemd service with a slice
sudo systemctl enable --now changedmi@<newdmi> would fix this
Is there someway to uninstall bazzite and get it back to normal state? Or should i just wait this out?
if a bios update fixes the dmi then we just add that as a install step "before starting make sure you have updated the bios"
for the next couple of days no
install windows if you want to use your device
or RMA it I guess
as theres something wrong with the motherboard
we have to make a workaround for it
ah, thanks for all the help.
There's nothing to wait out, we can't fix this in a way that isn't a hack
you have no DMI
i can ping you when we have a fix but dont count on it
would there be any guide i can follow to complete this lol
there is no fix for it right now
youre the second person to have this issue
the other one had a prerelease unit
with an invalid bios
one of the million "how to install windows" tutorials on youtube
yes, installing windows
is what you can do for now
appreciate guys. Apologies for the headache.
and get the drivers from https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/legion-series/legion-go-8apu1
including legion space
Legion Go comes with Windows 11 Home, if you reinstall with that the license should be grabbed from the bios
There's also a recovery thing by lenovo
That will make it like new
wasnt that an exe though
and not an image file
Dunno
i vaguely remember its an exe file
and you cant just flash it to a usb
Good morning, has anyone found a solution? I have the exact same problem and I can’t figure it out. Thank you.
Reinstalling windows on legion go requires creating a bootable USB from Lenovo website. It's a bit of a pain in the ass
Sucks that they didn't implement a way to flash the bios via USB like Asus did with the ally
You're gonna have to get your device serial number and go to Lenovo website. You should be able to do it just fine with the LGO on desktop mode.
Bios updates are available through the updater now.
Only controller firmware updates needs windows
Oh sweet. Makes it easy then. (It's been a while since I had a legion go)
I’ll clarify something. On my Legion GO, I replaced the motherboard. So currently, my serial number and MTM show as N/A. I also tried using various DOS tools to input the original Legion GO data, but without success. I wrote to customer support and am waiting for feedback on how to implement the serial number with the new motherboard (officially sent by Lenovo for the replacement). Do you know if there’s a way? Or better yet, is there a way to force it on Bazzite to properly orient the screen? Thanks.
yes, you can do a bind mount on the product name and vendor
we just dont provide a OOTB service for it
if you make those and have systemd apply them on boot it will work
then you can use an rpm-ostree karg for screen rotation as it wont apply to the kernel
Thank you very much for the reply. I'm quite a noob in the Linux world. Can you give me some search keywords to look up on Google about the procedure?
Ah, ping me in a few hours unfortunately it's a bit of a cutting edge technique and I need to give you some commands
Thank you so much for your availability, I will gladly wait
Just to keep the topic updated: I wrote to Lenovo support and on their official forum. From the forum they gave a wrong answer by recommending software that doesn't work, I expect the same from support. I trust @antheas to give me a tip on how to solve with linux commands.
Maybe we will do a kernel patch that lets you set arguments or something
But we can't fix this either fundamentally your motherboard needs to be programmed
All we can do is patch
Yes, yes, that works perfectly for me. The only thing I care about is using the Legion Go with Bazzite and not having to use that garbage Windows anymore. I understand it’s frustrating to talk to a noob, but I’m asking you to give me a hand or give me some keywords to search for—I’ll do my best to master Linux as much as needed. Thank you.
put this in
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/productname.service
right click to paste
then control + x to exit
then
then tell me what the final command returns@antheas You are a genius, it worked excellently. Thank you so much for your fantastic support.
