Support for Legion Go 2
Making a thread so it doesnt spam the handhelds channel. I imagine you're all caught up @antheas in that chat. Ill ping those others that put their hands up to help
Today on lunch I noticed that the issue with brightness at max and changing brightness after waking is only an issue in game mode. It works as normal on the desktop

@SymbianRulez @radiojin sorry for the ping, just directing you hear so we dont need to keep scrolling to find info in the handhelds channel
nvme 0000:bf:00.0: AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT domain=0x0012 address=0x77e59000 flags=0x0000] (Troublesome line from the log)
I also havent had any HDR issues in testing (i.e having those washed out colours) so it seems to be fixed? I don't have a HDR toggle in game mode but it is selected in desktop and the colours aren't switching like they were on stable
hdr working vut peak brightness is less than windows, sleep/wake is not working properly, and birgjtness controll also
Yes, HDR works if enabled in Desktop, but in gamemode there's no toggle to enable/disable and also as @radiojin says, peak brightness is way lower than in windows
and fyi steamos 3.8 is working for sleep issue
not sure if this can be help to fixing the issue
Thats actually surprising
Brightness control works in desktop, just not in game mode after sleep. I think this is problem an easier fix?
meaning if max brightness from desktop mode working on gamescope?
So when the brightness issue happens in gamescope, you can switch to desktop and adjust it on the desktop
oh ic let me try
So confirming sleep and wake works as it should on SteamOS?
3.8 stable only
Interesting. Wonder if there is a log or something we could get from that to get a hint on making it work on bazzite?
Anything we could do with that @antheas ?
Under hhd general
Can you untick turn off display before sleep?
Want a log or just try it?
Sleep and brightness is still the same after unticking
What kernel version is steamos 3.8 now?
All im seeing is 6.11. Can you confirm @radiojin pls
This is all I could find on the most recent kernel update for it https://steamcommunity.com/app/1675200/eventcomments/597401552634804685?snr=1_2108_9__2107
"6.11 based"
6.16.7-valve1-1 something
More recent than I was expecting tbh
Its actually a later version than bazzites? Surprises all round. Hopefully theres a fix in that later kernel version then
Anything else of note in Steam OS?
Like can you see how much Wattage the Cpu is pulling in the overlay?
There's not on the stock kernel
I need to look into the series they use
Main updated mangohud recently so maybe
Is unstable on 6.17?
I'd be willing to rebase to unstable if needed to test it
They have patches on top
Valves Kernel?
I have the day off today so happy to look Into it

Is it just the screen that's off or?
Seems like it. It draws power when you press the power button

That was last night drawing 20w after I pressed the button
But can you hear sounds
Ahhh, no
Would you like a video recording of a wake sequence!
?*
is it just the screen or the whole thing?
Seems like the whole thing
No wake up video and no audio
Video sending. Sorry about the background noise
Draws power, no sound and no video
My uniformed theory is maybe the drivers are taking too long or hanging on wakeup and eventually connect?
I just had a look at both those commits, would it be of harm to apply both of those just to see what happens?
@antheas I rebased to stable and the brightnes slider was behaving correctly even after a sleep cycle. I rebased again to testing and the issue is there. Its a regression in the testing branch
testing and stable are the same now
if possible can u compare hdr max brightness between bazzite and windows?
windows is much more brighter like 80/100%
Weird because it did actually work. Must've just fluked that one scenario or didn't let it sleep right
If I have time I'll put it on an external drive and test
I confirm this and the colors in Windows in HDR are much more vivid.
yes.. but both are HDR working properly i think only brightness is different
maybe it's because of my calibration, but when I activate it, I see washed-out colors. Does the configuration you make in KDE apply to game mode?
Getting my Lego 2 on Monday, will instantly switch to bazzite when I get it. What are the current bugs?
Scroll Tk the top of the thread and they are there
May I ask, how is bazzite better than SteamOS?
I mean I use this distro daily, I love it, but SteamOS just worked too
I'm asking since I also have the legion go s and considering it
For granular tdp support youll need to use simple decky tdp I believe otherwise youre just stuck with the standard perfomance profiles, other than that, I think steam OS is the better out of the box experience surprisngly. I didnt do any testing so not sure what the performance is like but I might try that now
In saying that, Antheas has been pretty communicative with looking for fixes and listening to our issues (and my nonsensical rants lmao). Bazzite will be fine on it soon
In LG2? I thought it couldn't even be installed.
Myself and @radiojin had it running on the LG2
Use the 3.7 recovery image and update to the latest 3.8 in the konsole
Does HDR work well?
I didn't do enough testing to see, but sleep works correctly
Thanks! I'll try it. I read somewhere that it couldn't even be installed, so I didn't try!
I tried installing 3.8 directly as boot media and it didn't work, thats probably what happened to them in that report. When you do, please share your experience!
Yes, I'm going to take some photos and videos in Windows before formatting, for comparison. SteamOS makes me delete everything in Windows, that's the only bad thing, so I'll have to start all over again.
Dont have a second ssd by chance?
I don't want to open the LG2 anymore. I already opened it to install the 8TB SSD, and I prefer to open it as little as possible.
Holy 8TB! I was eyeing one off but couldnt justify it already have 4tb lol. I bought a genki save point and have another 2230 on the way and that will have my windows on it and linux on the ssd inside the Go 2. I think I may make an image of my bazzite and I might try steamOS again. If there is anything Antheas wants me to pull of log from it that might help him get bazzite going I/ we could provide it too I guess
No commits in Bazzite testing branch for the new update so might just try it today
This SSD was in my Rog Ally X, then in the Legion Go S and now in the LG2. Whatever you need, I can help you, I think in the near future Bazzite is the right choice since Valve will not support SteamOS on the LG2 at the moment.
Agreed, Bazzite will be the correct one to use when it has full support, just getting there will be the main thing. Which 8tb did you go with?
I think Decky was broken by updates, maybe it's not the best time to test if we're not going to be able to install SimpleDeckyTDP
Lexar NM790 8TB SSD. Because it consumes the least power and runs the least hot, according to what I've heard.
Wont take long for decky to update, be a few hours
Yeah I have that but the 4tb. The 8tb was the one i was looking at. Been loving the Lexar SSDs. No problems for me. Glad they can keep up with writing over them so many times with the different OS I like to use lol
Me too 😄
@antheas sorry for another ping... Is there anything being pushed to testing soon that is relevant for the Go 2? Or we in the clear to test Steam OS for a bit?
More than happy to stay on Bazzite if testing needs to be done
up to you
If you have stuff cooking rn I will stay and test
I would rather test new commits tbh
im working on some kernel stuff
I can't even get steamOS 3.7 to start, it restarts after 20 seconds
Does it get to the desktop atleast or doesnt even make that?
I can't even see the desktop.
I use: steamdeck-repair-20250521.10-3.7.7.img
Got it working for a second time.
Get the repair image for 3.7.15, got into KDE and install it from the desktop.
Once installed you can switch from that to 3.8 through the konsole or through game mode
HDR is not working and neither is brightness is game mode on steam os 3.8. Desktop the brightness slider works but its just stuck in SDR. Sleep is working perfectly fine tho
If there is any way to pull anything or log anything for steam 3.8 let me know
I think my stutters are related to the CPU clocks spiking above 3ghz. They will be low, say 2.1-2.4 and then spike and cause a stutter. I dont have this issue on Steam OS 3.8 at all. My gameplay was a smooth 60 but back onto bazzite, same proton, same tdp, same settings, I get theses CPU spikes
Any updates @antheas ?
That need to be tested I mean
Did you manage to get the HDR in bazzite to perform properly? I really wanna go bazzite when I get mine bc I love the tweaking and better performance, but the HDR issues are the only sticking point for me currently.
Then again, most of the games I want to play at first aren’t necessarily ones with HDR, so it might not be as big of a deal. Can always dual boot.
Rebasing to testing borks the wifi, had to rebase back to stable.
oh if its not in stable yet thats great
i was worried
btw guys fix is found for sleep
sudo rpm-ostree kargs --append=amd_iommu=offLegend thanks!
kernel building with a proper fix potentially
If we apply the fix now, should we do anything after the new kernel update?
Remove it and see if the proper one works
And if you want a tag when it gets sent to the kernel name, email. But only if it works
It works, but when you resume brightness control it stops working.
That issue was there before the fix too
@antheas im currently on SteamOS and going to put bazzite back on the legion today. Is there anything you want me to pull off it? I'm more referring to the performance differences between the bazzite and steamos
hm, sure
you have cyberpunk?
if not, whats its name
black myth wukang benchmark is free
on performance mode (red tdp mode) selected from steamui so that steam does not try to override it, run 5 benchmarks back to back and keep average and 1% framerates for each run
dont let time to lapse for the device to cool off
then reboot and repeat
Yep got that
Will download this too
or use cyberpunk, for cyberpunk you can keep number of frames instead
and 1%
do both or either
May as well do both for more numbers
Want me to include the game I also had the issue in?
which issue
Perfomance would drop from 60 down to 30-35 and inconsistently jump between the them. Frame times were all over the place. Don't have that issue in SteamOS
Same settings and Proton
which game
Project Cars 3
https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1394319052050137248/1422917847679631391
Borderlands 4 also had the same issue
But at low framerate ofc
can we adjust HDR like brightness, colour temp etc?
you can adjust color temp
you can adjust brightness
(before sleep)
Should we go to stable or testing?
i just started the build because badluck

meaning if adjust from desktop, it will reflected yo gamescope?
no, you adjust in gamescope for gamescope
im not sure about sdr brightness in hdr
ic its different between desktop and gamescope
different settings compeltely
ok got it
its built
except one of the gnome deck images, it blew up lol
So just install the testing branch and should be sweet? I hadn't applied the previous fix yet, still running benches
yes
Sweet, thanks
i didnt find new image from github, not released yet?
Seems like its built but not released?
Did you have an update in you system update app?
It's built in testing
Having an issue with no wifi in that testing branch
42.20251007
Rip
Will be sitting tight for a new build 🙏
Well youlla have to wait for me to fix the mediatek firmware
Yeah no wakkas. Will run those benches on bazzite
oh shit, now gotta plug my phone in to rollback lol
yessir
good thinking with the phone
Should we have hdr toggled in system settings on desktop or doesnt matter?
doesnt matter
Does the HDR banner only show when playing HDR games then?

yes
Ah cheers
Is there a reason for the screen on windows being way brighter than on bazzite?
Is there a workaround for this issue?
its a bug
So what happens there, is there some kind of driver Lenovo needs to put in the kernel or it seems like something else?
Lenovo?
Yeah
no, either we annoy mario from amd or we fix ourselves
Or am I being dumb and dont need a driver, just firmware
theres a dude working on steamos that will contact the manufacturer after the holidays
not lenovo, the underlying factory
Ohhh that makes sense
and then they will be like "we only know windows" and they will spend 3 weeks trying a broken steamos build
until they figure something out if they do
then they will realize they ran out of dev time with go 2 and move on to go 3
true story
Crazy considering it looked almost done in January
go s had a sleep bug
it took 2 months to figure out it was the touchscreen firmware
Like the touch was registering an input and waking?
when the EC woke up, it was registering an interrupt and preventing the CPU from going to sleep
so if you connected it to a charger sleeping it would cook itself
but what about optimized fan curves, well we spent the time on the stupid touchpad and that sleep issue and blew the budget
lol
It sucks cos they have decent hardware, just their software side needs a shake up
sleep fix in kernel
the one youre about to test
disables opal disk encryption
because it turns out when iommu is enabled the wakeup hook that unencrypts the drive breaks
Wasn't the other fix to do with VMs or something?
ahh
its a common problem with 3 year old thinkpads
new ones are fixed
so now they'll try to fix it in bios
I'll be expecting that in like 6 months
When should I switch branch?
no im trying to shove in the older firmware
ohhh sorry
Didn't inlcude PCars 3 as my issue was fixed with the fresh bazzite install

nice, so we faster?
Marginally but yeah
ill take it
Black myth SteamOS avg is Bazzite's Minimum lol
testing updated
Updating now
I'm going to try it too
Silly question, but if I update, should I disable yesterday's fix? Would this be the command: sudo rpm-ostree kargs --append=amd_iommu=on ?
This is what he said before
Is that the command to revert @antheas?
Replace append with delete
Reboot before updating
Uhhh ive used 'brh rebase testing' then realised I should disable the fix. Can I clear those changes? I still haven't rebooted yet
Reboot then remove the fiz
You can't do both without rebooting is all
Gotcha
Removing the fix will cancel the update
I've updated to testing, I've also lost wifi 😄
Same lol
Back to stable lol
It's still broken?
Wifi is yeah
Wtf
yep
Anything you want us to pull from logs or anything?
Wait
would the temp fix be disabling wifi?
on testing
Testing was borking my wifi even before the fix yesterday
hmmm
The best thing right now for me is just use the fix on stable
It was working fine for me, I switched to the testing branch and it no longer finds any network.
I tried to fix it I did the revert
Is there reason we can't use the temp work around as the main workaround going forward?
The workaround works
The stupid wifi broke
The entirety of wifi or just for the Mediatek stuff you were doing?
Mediatek
my revert was screwy
The fix is live
shd i update now or not?
Yes latest testing
thanks i've rebased to the latest testing - wake from sleep works and wifi is good
ok let me try
so now Bazzite performace is better than steamos??
appreciate your help! does the testing branch fix anything outside of the wake issue?
No
There was a scheduler issue until August they hurt performance. It has been removed
ok thx. just curious, do you just merge to master or is there a more involved process
I'm building the testing branch
If you're wondering why main is not updated
i guess my qn is when does testing go to stable
We had a release a few days ago, no rush
Weekly to bimonthly cadence otherwise
seems to work pretty well. i've installed bazzite in the past on gpd and onexplayer devices. this is the first time i've had to use a non-stable release because the legion go 2 is so new
i tried cachyos - it requires a lot more user setup to work on a handheld
can one of you do a bug report from hhd and post the link?
also, can you comment on how good hdr looks?
Installing games now after just upgrading the SSD, testing branch works well except for the brightness. Will test an HDR game and post the hhd report. Is it the systemctl status hhd command?
no, hhd has a button
for bug reports
press it, scan the qr code with your phone, paste here
https://paste.centos.org/view/3a598198
Been using only nobara on my main PC, didn't recognize that hhd is something😅
hdr option is there, thanks
Thank you for your time and work:)
Are you trying to fix hdr or just making sure it's toggled?
im trying to see if the quirk i wanted to add is added
Ah righto
Is the command to remove the iommu
'sudo rpm-ostree kargs --delete=amd_iommu=off'?
yes
Thanks. And thanks for the work you've done so far to get this all working
OT but Is there a channel or discord for general Legion Go discussions?
Maybe just the handhelds channel? I don't think there is one dedicated to just Legion Go
is this for HDR in gamescope? what for?
rds to temp fix for sleep
regard*
ic as previous issue
All good here too. Thanks.
Do you know if there is a way to toggle the blinking led during sleep?
Shit is like a flashlight at night the light is that big haha
There's a HHD setting for Power Light
That is only when it's turned on
So you can have it turned off when it's awake but when it's in sleep it will still blink
Nevermind
Im completely wrong 😂
My apologies
@antheas not sure if this is going to help in diagnosing the problem but it seems brightness changes slightly when HDR is on
Brightness ingame doesnt change until you hit the HDR point
I think that's correct
HDR values are absolute
I haven't had coffee yet
You'd still be more on the ball than me
I was talking more in regards to the brightness slider bug after waking. Seems to still be wokring to some degree
Waking or bdr
bdr?
Whats that?
Or you mean hdr?
The bug where the brightness slider doesnt work after the device has done a sleep cycle. After waking it, the slider doesn't work at all
but seems to be doing something only when HDR is enabled
So can you make a video on how it works without hdr
Then with before and after sleep?
This is before sleep (fresh boot)
This is after sleep
Steam Os also managed to get darker on minimum brightness
ok thats super busted
does it work after sleep?
on the next kernel it wont
on the next kernel it uses my brightness patches that only apply to steam deck
looks gamescoep issue, it happends on Steamos also
from what im seeing the after sleep migth be an amd or bios issue
Nope
It works in desktop if that makes any difference
It didn't work at all on steam os, so it's weird that it does work on a fresh boot but not after sleep
Steam os wouldn't work before or after sleep
seems like a steam bug
Darn
Does this mean 6.17 With the next fedora?
on steamos
Oh, was it a big that it was going to dark on steam os?
Bug*
From a manufacturers perspective yes
Minimum brightness over acpi was always 0
Hardcoded and ignored BIOS values
Ah neat
Well I guess we wait till valve sorts that. No idea how to even request a fix to that
The slider that is
Do you guys send lists of bugs to Mario or do you post stuff on the discussion forums if you want stuff fixed?
Or you guys have no input on gamescope at all?
We fix it
The brightness slider is controlled by the steam client
If you're telling me KDE works
What you're saying is that after sleep something happens to brightness control that breaks the steam client
Ah gotcha. Didn't know that
mario's standards for reporting bugs is too high
and then usually he dont do much
So should whack that in the Discussion forumns and hope for the best?
discussion for what?
nobody from valve does anything for third party handhelds
and they ignore the issue trackers
Client dicussion/ feature request
if you want to bug mario for the brightness fix, we have a script for replacing kernels on bazzite. Replace the kernel with 6.18rc0 then go bug him on amdgpu
but these types of bugs you need a device for
you have ssh on your unit?
Yeah it would be way easier
we need to remove the steam client as a variable
Im gonna say no because not sure exactly what it is. That's for like remote desktop isnt it?
so controlling the brgithness via command line would be a way to show the kernel broke
ur cooked
yes its a remote command line
you can have a terminal from your desktop to it
makes it easy to work with these devices
you have windows on your pc?
You mean like 'streaming' it to my main desktop?
Ye
well windows has ssh now
no its a normal terminal
but when you type stuff they run on the device
That would honestly make life so much easier
sudo systemctl enable --now sshd
then you ssh bazzite@<ip>
from windows
or whatever your username isThis is actually life changing for this
How do you want me to do this?
I don't have the command to change brightness with me right now
That's no worries, atleast I know what ssh is now. Will make life a lot easier. When you can, whack it in and I'll do it
Petition to start a Go 2 fund for Antheas?
what is the change from testing-42.20251008.2?
no release note from github but i can update on lego2
release log is a bit buggy
if one of the builds fails it doesnt complete
i was doing some fixes for the onexplayer x1 air
My wifi does stop working after a while.. Anyone else having this issue?
I think that until @antheas has an LG2 we won't have a fully compatible version.
Is the wake from sleep fixed yet? Missing Bazzite. Windows is a pretty rough experience
This is a long shot but has anyone got the fingerprint reader working in KDE or is it not compatible
Aye I think you're the guy I was talking to on Reddit. Yeah wake is fixed now
I've seen reports of it working but haven't tried myself
You're definitely right, but not sure when that will be. I'm more than happy to do what I can to help diagnose/ fix the brightness slider issue. HDR can/ needs to wait anyways
it should work i was told
in kde to unroll a fingerprint you go to user settings
Lenovo’s software is awful — unbearably slow. I hate Windows so much. Sorry, I just had to vent and send all my strength to @antheas so my €1200 machine works properly 😄
Hey, how do you change the branch ? I tried using the terminal but I get this error:
sudo rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-deck:testing
Preparing import: Fetching manifest: failed to invoke method OpenImage: A signature was required, but no signature exists
the bazzite rollback manager is an easy way to manage rebasing
just run "brh" from a shell
'brh rebase testing'
That's what I use
You didn't happen to grab it today did you?
brightnessctl?
Sure I was thinking more direct but it will do
If you want more direct we can run with that
Yeah but then I need to pull up the command haha
Yeah fair hahaha. So I should be in gamemode and connect with ssh and run it?
Yes
Run it before and after wake or doesn't really matter?
You're gonna run that to change the brightness before and after sleep
And see if it's the steam brightness slider that is broken
Righto
Will installing brightness ctl fuck anything up?
brightnessctl set 50%
I was just gonna use that command but command not found
Its a terrible video. But it works before sleep. After sleep the command didn't work
Ok so it's not steam
Ye
KDE shouldn't work either then?
The slider works in KDE but the command doesn't. Im going to ssh again and test it to make sure its not an ssh issue
It is not an SSH issue
So KDE slider DOES work, brightnessctl does not
Even with this command I have a signature issue.
😔
so you need the direct command
Take it you have looked at the rebasing wiki?
Does this mean its a Kernel issue when waking?
Yes
Least its not a Valve issue lol

wth??
cannot update to testing
even in HHD also
I have the exact same issue
Just ping antheas?
Might start getting annoyed with the amounts I do it 😂
plz help if you can see here @antheas
How old is your install
fresh image
from iso
agl thats a bit concerning
Can you grab an older image? Was it a fresh install atleast?
Want me to link the image I used? Its on my G drive
maybe i can find but is this part of date issue?
Date issue?
i mean old image can be updated? i dont think so
Are you talking about rolling back to my image on your install or updating to testing on my image?
test image can not be updated
looks block to connection
Yeah I think you are going to need to reinstall bazzite, based off of antheas' reaction
There was a problem last summer
If the image is more than one year old
hmm its same even if i used previouse ISO
oct 4th
are you in china?
Korea
it was worked few days ago
korea should work
something happened from repository or somewhere to access
only stable can be updated
I think we have another issue on-top of the brightness slider
Capping fps using vrr seems to cause stutter/ inconsistent frame times

Without fps cap/ 144hz
This is with a 60hz cap

Actually it doesn't matter if vrr is on
Just seems to stutter if the refresh rate of the screen is bellow that of the output frames, whether vrr is on or off
I think this is the issue I was having with Project Cars 3 on bazzite and is why it wasn't showing on SteamOS
Anyone else have this issue?
I pushed another build
let me redownload from website
Ni
No
Just try updating again
ㅐㅏ
ok
no luck
same
can you guys update?
is thi lego 2 image issue? if so can i try to another device like steamdeck, ally?
no
its the same image
ok, feels auth is failed to test build
i checked and since last stable auth hasnt been modified
no rush, take your time
Can confirm, cannot update. Shows the signature issue in terminal
@Kyle Gospo
I'll take a look, we haven't pushed any builds
Testing
signing broke, it will be fixed soon
What's the current status summary? Is the testing branch broken?
im fixing it
still there....
i made a mistake and then went to bed
You probably have worked it out by now but I did the forbidden thing and got Gemini to help diagnose the slider issue. Getting this log on system wake after sleep:
Oct 11 17:17:47 bazzite kernel: WARNING: CPU: 10 PID: 5409 at drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c:9107 amdgpu_dm_atomic_commit_tail+0xf59/0x1160 [amdgpu]
that happens
You mean like its normal?
normal is a funny word
Rephrase then haha. That error regularly happens?
happens on most devices
Ahh, damn
Damn, here I was thinking it was like the backlight control of the driver or something
rpm-ostree kargs --append=amdgpu.backlight=0
I tried that but it just completely removed brightness control from steam even on initial boot haha
im on my pc now youre lucky
cat /sys/class/backlight/amdgpu_bl0/brightness

then how the hell does kde work
Tried and nothing
kde has multimonitor brightness
can you check if the name of the display changes after sleep?
Righto
Just in settings would be fine?
Hmm have you got a command to show the display name? The couple I looked up arent working

Oh, yeah its the same as yours. Built in screen
and it keeps workign?
but the direct command does not?
Yep
And no
what
Sorry, it does not work
so kde is broken too
You are correct
sounds like a display firmware bug
I didnt try it in kde, just in gamescope. Will try that now. But kDE slider is defineitely working
so it does
kde slider works after slee
direct command in kde does not work after sleep
Correct
Correct
The numbers for:
cat /sys/class/backlight/amdgpu_bl1/brightness
They still output to whatever I set them too, but the brightness doesnt change
Only way to change brightness is with the KDE Slider in the system tray
Mmm there's another file instead of brightness
Try yhat
cat /sys/class/backlight/amdgpu_bl1 is this just a directory I can get to to see what it is called?
Ls directory
sorry to interrupt. i just checked on my end. after waking up from sleep, shifting the GUI brightness slider as well as modifying the file directly, I can see brightness and actual_brightness in sys/class/backlight/amdgpu_bl1 changing but the device brightness doesn't change
Dont be sorry, need all the help I can get lol
Actual_brightness
bl_power
brightness
max_brightness
scale
type
uevent
Bl power maybe?
cat /sys/class/backlight/amdgpu_bl1/bl_power
You want number for that?
It returned a 0
i think i've found a fix
Actual brightness had a number
commenting out HDR_ENABLE_PQ=1 in device_quirks seems to allow me to change brightness after sleep
HDR is still enabled I take it?
sorry, i've only been looking at brightness. havent' been using HDR at all
Yeah thats fine, its a step tho. So the slider in game mode works?
yup
you can try it on your end
from the desktop
sudo rpm-ostree usroverlay
sudoedit /usr/share/gamescope-session/device-quirks
search for a chunk with Legion Go 2 then comment out the line about HDR_ENABLE_PQ (put a # in front )
then switch back to Game Mode
Will try soon
Says I dont have the file
sorry gamescope-session-plus
in that path
sudoedit /usr/share/gamescope-session/gamescope-session-plus?
sudoedit /usr/share/gamescope-session-plus/device-quirks
ohhh got it
yep thanks
i double checked by un-commenting - broken. Re-commenting - works
Yeah mine works too
Absolutely CRAZY find 😂
i'm guessing that was a fix for something HDR related but it's broken the brightness setting
usroverlay doesn't persist after a reboot so it's only a temp fix
I saved it in the doc so I'll revert it
Shows hdr but doesn't feel HDR which makes sense

Yeah I believe HDR being borked was one of the first things that was fixed. Atleast you found the culprit
I haven't tried HDR at all. Is it any good outside of this brightness issue
Not as good as windows yet, but does look good when it is on
but only for games that support it right. There's no equivalent of Windows AutoHDR?
I dont think so no
There is no equivalent
ok thx
Be nice if there was tho
Its futile, seems to be solved
so
disabling that fixes brightness
but hdr is busted
yeah
so after sleep hdr is forced enabled essentially
how busted is hdr without pq
whats pq?
its the curve that enables real hdr
Oh like the tone mapping curve, gotcha
do not set full brightness, keep it below the white spot
otherwise it will look blown out
Explains why it didnt feel right
given that, whats the difference between that option being disabled and enabled
The slider definitely works, but now the whole screen actually lights up, you dont get hdr in the highlights. Its like the hdr brightness for highlights is applied to the whole screen?
Even in SDR
yeah so its not hdr
Just super bright SDR
im confused
hdr without HDR_ENABLE_PQ and with
whats the difference
usroverlay --hotfix persists
Yeah my explaining is shit sorry, Without the PQ, its not boosting the highlights the more you turn up the brightness. Ill record a hdr video
yea you get 600 nits instead of 1000 nits in highlights
Im in a dark room atm with an oled monitor and it looks fine to me honestly. Does the pq curve boost the whole screen or just the highlights?
supposedly its better
so its the same pretty much?
i can disable the ENABLE_PQ
I never tried it before your hdr fix. Seems okay to me as is
aight, testing is building with it disabled
If someone with more hdr knowledge comes in and wants it changed, I guess but it looks fine to me
Stable normally updates once a week doesnt it? Seen a few people on reddit asking about the bugs that are being fixed but idk if theyll follow the discord link I sent. Just for their sake haha
gets, does test branch can be applied now?
and are we talking abt the HDR?
I need to check everything is ok in testing
Yes
Uhh how willing are you to look into a vrr bug? Or happy to give that a miss for the day?
So we’re left without HDR for now, until someone ( @antheas ) figures out how to make it work properly?
SD OLED does not use pq
SD is also a samsung panel isn't it? Could that be why?
No
It just doesn't
Panel limitation
Ah fair
pq?
@radiojin
If PQ stands for perceptual quantizer, it's an improvement on basic HDR. I'm not familiar with the implementation here but it may not necessarily be better
There's an issue with VRR?
Im having one in a couple games limiting it to 60hz with vrr on
Could be grom something else but frametimes go completely whack
Huh. I have it turned on and also frame capped to 60hz, have not encountered any issues
Might be a game thing
@leecming
Yah I also frame cap to 60
Very well could be. Just weird to experience it in 2 of my games so far
Yeah I've been playing relatively lightweight games. Maybe if you're running at high TDP.
Have you played around with the TDP settings in HHD? I typically set everything to manual including CPU settings to Manual, EPP to Low, CPU boost to disabld and the TDP to whatever I want
I think if you leave everything to presets and auto, the CPU/GPU power sharing might be nonoptimal
I normally use custom and set preset per game in steam. I tried messing with epp settings and even clocking the GPU to a certain frequency and nothing seemed to work. Maybe more testing to come
i guess the only things I can suggest would be to uncap and just use TDP to control frame rate. Or use in-game limiters when they exist
It seems fine if the fps is max, so 144 so Ill just live with that
you could also try mangohud instead of gamescope
True, but extra work lol
that has it own frame limiter
I have an occasional issue where the controller stops working after a long sleep
steam environment is fine but it stops working within the game
pretty odd
im trying to revert to steamos
cachyos also
Your brightness slider wont work on SteamOS
been there done that
Like wont work at all
Windows + Bazzite is a good combo right now. You can always go back to Windows for stuff that doesn't work well on Bazzite e.g., HDR
Exactly
plus you'll need Windows to do bios updates. I'm still waiting on the one that some LGo2 units have which allows you to do more finegrained VRAM allocation
Ohhh you were one of the early early units. Mine was lucky enough to come with it
Knowing lenovo, they will take their sweet time rolling that out
yeah it's kinda dumb they don't have it available for manual download
100%
Right to go?
We have a patch that maybe is affecting this
Affecting as in fixing or affecting as in causing?
Causing for vrr
But you will need to be very specific for me to understand the problem
Ahh okay. Ill do some more testing in the next 24 hours and nail down the variables
any os cannot suuprt HDR properly at this moment, bazzite, steam, cachy
but yes dual boot is mandatory
No im saying that you cant control brightness at all on Steam OS
only this channel has been discussed for HDR on go2 thats what is like bazzite
Can the hhd log detect big swings in fps?
Just do measurements with mangohud
Doesn't have to be super precise
Just it happens on this game when I set X framerate with vrr on
Gamescope has a patch for frame halving where the math might be a bit wrong
Seems it is also happening at 144hz so there goes my VRR thought. Definitely happens in 2 games and pretty repeatable. This did NOT happen on steam OS tho, so I can rule out hardware or proton
or the games
Rethink. How aggressive is CPU Boost?
Mmm I need to have a look at the edid
if you guys tell me everything checks out ill send a build to stable
Hello, I'm currently using a Go2, is it fine to install the Legion Go version of Bazzite right now even though it's not listed on the website?
When Bazzite updates and provides support for the Go 2 I won't need to reinstall anything right?
yes
also I saw that there was a sleep issue with bazzite? i know it was fixed but someone said I would need to enter a terminal command while someone else said that it works, just wanna know if I would need to enter anything upon installation
stable doesnt work, i am preparing the release now
added go 2 to the website
oh so I shouldn't install it yet?
install it and update in a few hours
okok, thank you so much. will I need to do anything for the sleep problem?
after the update no
alright thanks for all the help
@antheas There is a problem when switching from gaming mode to desktop. If I go to the desktop, the screen freezes (programs and sound keep working). It’s only a visual bug. Putting it to sleep makes it work again. I’m using the latest Testing branch.
fml
It happened 2 out of 4 times
are you sure its the latest testing?
Should be. How do I check this?
as of 3 hours ago
try to update again
I installed Bazzite an hour ago and rebased. Should be the latest.
I used this command: brh rebase testing
Tried another 3 times. It didn’t freeze.
Stable released with the fixes for go 2
Great! I understand the sleep and brightness control issues are fixed, all that's left is to fix the HDR. Is that correct?
Yes, but it should work decently
Just the brightness is off
Thanks
Is there any way to calibrate the color profile in gamemode like in KDE or Windows?
Yes and no
Depends on what you mean by color profile
Color temperature and saturation is easy
Then you can create a Lua file if you want to tweak the white point
Is there a place where I can find out how to do it? I'll look into it. It would be a nice addition to the HDD 😄
Not really. The colors are a bit muted too with HDR on.
I noticed that happening the other time I tried it too. Now I'm going to do a clean install and see how it goes.
That's why I asked about calibrating the color profile to see if that would solve it.
For hhd gamescope has some atoms that can do something similar
I'm not following you there. What does atoms mean?
X11 spec defines parameters and names them atoms
So through hhds x11 socket gamescope has a protocol through x11 atoms that can change color parameters
A lot of it is used by steam for e.g night light
Steam also has some developer settings that are in-depth
I think I know what the HDR after sleep bug is caused by
But I dont feel like digging through the code
You mean why the PQ was messing with the slider or something else?
i think that after sleep hdr gets enabled by mistake
and the display uses hdr to sdr as fallback
breaking the brightness slider
I could see that yeah. There's no way to force hdr off without digging through the code?
And thanks for doing all this
thats what i did
i forced pq to be off
I meant after waking I meant. What code would you be digging through? I could go looking if you wanted
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope somewhere in gamescope after it resumes it might cause it to turn on hdr
GitHub
GitHub - ValveSoftware/gamescope: SteamOS session compositing windo...
SteamOS session compositing window manager. Contribute to ValveSoftware/gamescope development by creating an account on GitHub.
in the lua files for steam deck lcd, it says the sdr brightness is specified as a sane default after unplugging from an external monitor
outputEncodingEOTF might change to pq after sleep
The controls are broken. It recognizes it as a generic Xbox controller, and there's no access to the rear buttons. I think it's due to the firmware update the LG2 controllers received yesterday.
Xbox is default in HHD. Have you changed that?
Is it normal for the Power LED to pulse when in sleep mode?
yes
Can be turned off in HHD
It is like a lighthouse at night, would recommend turning it off
the og go supported turning it off only during sleep
True, I didn't remember. Sorry, I didn't say anything.
is it true on the go 2?
Yeah that’s what I would like to do
i think i did it to do both
toggling Power Light (Awake) Turns it off completely. If the option is there in the firmware, would be nice
For now I’ll disable it completely
does hhd have both awake and asleep options?
and do they both do the same thing?
@TPepperoni Do your controllers take a second or two to power on when waking up after sleep too?
thats normal
Yeah
It doesn’t. There’s only the awake option.
If they're next to each oth, only awake is there. Sleep doesnt show
and does awake do both?
Yes
well rip
Does that mean there’s no way to disable it when in sleep mode?
you mean only?
if awake does both no
Yep
the original go could
then for the go s they hardcoded it to the same setting
i assume go 2 is the same now
Would of been nice to have. Anyway it doesn’t bother me that much.
hhd can roll me back to the previous testing can't it. Gonna try something
it can
there is a dropdown with the previous versions
Although the LED in Windows did stay off. Probably the sleep mode is different, right?
What do you think the chances are that it is detecting the OG go's display lua file and thats causing the issue
0
could be hibernation
Hibernating?
Probably
AFAIM the only one that turns off is the Rog ALLY when you enabled 'extreme sleep"
What does the go 2 use, or uses nothing at all?
nothing
i think the og does for 60hz
but thats it
but theres a chance thats no longer needed
bazzite-rollback-helper rebase testing-42.20251011.2 should work?
HHD updated haha
i dont remember which version is the one you need
That's the version, just double checking command
it should
So, to recap. The missing features right now are the HDR and the light sensor. Everything else works.
Pretty much
Are you willing to do a test for me? By chance, would you have Project Cars 3, Grid (2019) or Dirt 5?
I have PC3 and GRID
YES. Could you try PC3? I am trying to diagnose and issue and if it is other devices makes me feel not insane
Or both if you're so inclined
Limiting to 20w, ill send the graphics settings, could you have vrr enabled, limit it to 60 or something and do a race? My frames are super inconsistent and drop to 24 but frametimes are all over the place. It does 60 perfectly fine but intermittenly has BAD frame pacing
I need to install them, and I have an 100mbps connection. Will take a while for both.
Appreceiate it!
I’m installing RC3 right now. Will be installed in about an hour.
Sweet, thanks
No problem
Looking at debugging gamescope
--hdr-pq-internal-enable enable PQ transform even on internal displays (e.g. Legion Go 2)
Think they already know about it then?
I added that option
Oh, nevermind lmao
My legion go 2 is coming in less than 3 weeks....bazzite is already running on the Lego 2? That makes my day
@TPepperoni PC3 is installed. What are the graphic settings you are using?


@TPepperoni Set the TDP to 20W, enabled VRR with a 60FPS limit and made sure the graphic settings where the same. The framerate didn’t drop a single time and the frametime is pretty consistent.

Is it me or the vibration is a bit off? The right controller vibrates a bit more than the left one, and it seems a tad too strong than normal.
That's the same across a whole race?
Yep
@TPepperoni What you think about the vibration? Does yours feel like mine?
Hmm, I wonder what my problem is. @antheas is there a way to 'reset' stuff under the hood without wiping my install?
It could be a bit stronger imo but it doesn't feel bad too me. Have you changed the setting in HHD for vibration?
What Proton version are you using? I used GE-Proton10-17.
Will try that, just weird that same proton, didn't have the issue when I ran Steam OS on the go 2
Is NTSYNC maybe something that could help it? Dont even know what that is really lol
Where is the vibration setting in HHD? I can't find it.
I must be going crazy. I could have sworn there use to be a virbation instensity setting in there. I remember using it for adjust my Ally X vibration
I just looked and couldn't find it either
I'm pretty sure it can be implemented. On Windows you can change it by going into the settings in Legion Space.
Yeah you're probably right
HDR brightness is now fixed on stable?
What do you mean fixed?
Nothing has happened since 12 hours ago when disabling PQ fixed the slider.
bcos new stable version just released
nevermind i can update now to test
Stable version is current testing version
correct but cannot reach out to test branch
This is dirt 5 with that same proton version . Doesn't seem to change anything

Yeah this is PCAR3 for me

Limiting to 60 has the same effect
Well I have nailed down a solution. Everything is fine when the device is charging. It isnt a tdp thing because bumping up the tdp doesn't fix the issue. Does charging the device do anything else?

On charge is a completely different experience
sorry what is an issue?
vrr?? or fps cap?
Also fixed on Dirt 5 while charging

Honestly no idea what it is
fixed for what?
You ready hahaha watch this
This is just me showing my troubleshooting steps
So antheas might know how to diagnose my issue. Mattia tested his device and had no issues like I'm having
Mmmmm the ally used to have this bios bug...
I have a command for you
sudo ryzenadj --performanceI KNEW I HAD THIS BUG ON MY ALLY. Seemed so familiar
error: unknown option `--performance
--help
Then see how it's called
errr only one with perfomance is is --max-perfomance
Yes
no compatible ryzen_smu kernel module found, fallback to /dev/mem
Sucessfully enable max_performance
Is what it spat out
I've reinstalled Bazzite and updated everything but still no working “wake from sleep” functionality
Any ideas?
Finr
We didn't rebuild the ISOs update manually
Finr?
Fine
Yeah, I did both
If it doesn't error
See if it helps
Ah
Go desktop mode>updater?
What build is it?
I'll have to check later
Yep done the trick, cheers.
I also had a look into gamescope from that wake issue for the PQ. Way out of my depth
There's a ujust to automate that
When you unplug
Righto will look for it
Couldn't find it
its not obvious if it is there
Odd that your unit defaults to a worse performance state on battery. Is there a bios or windows setting that sticks even in Bazzite
No idea
So on battery with max_performance, battery discharge is higher at the same TDP?
no
its an amd setting thats broken
weird
A script to run it at boot and and when its off charge would be fine wouldnt it?
you need to do it when you plug it in
*unplug
It happens on a fresh boot too so i just made a systemd service to run it on boot and a udev to run when I unplug it

Ah sweet, thanks
it doesn't work
I've noticed several strange crashes today, especially when starting up connected to an external monitor. I haven't investigated the problem, but I've had to force restart several times.
Maybe grab some HHD logs and post them here so Antheas can look through them?
If anyone else has any other issues let me know and I can add them

what is the pq issue for HDR? i've no issue for HDR gaming after update
Enabling PQ is what caused the brightness slider issue with Gamescope. HDR still works, but not as bright or "boosted" as it could be. Antheas thinks that when waking back up, gamescope might accidentally enable hdr which. The slider works slightly differently when hdr is on. The system is asking for one kind of brightness control meanwhile steam is sending out another kind of control, hence the bug.
That's just what I have gathered tho
@antheas, how often/ when is the Device-quirks file read? Is it just on gamescope boot?
meaning after awake from sleep mode, brighness is not reach out to max?
It applies max brightness to the whole screen. Moving the slider actually changes brightness, but I believe that it is only adjust the PQ value (how much HDR is 'boosted') and not as intended. I have an idea for a fix but just need to know how often device-quirks gets read by the system.
My idea is to make a script that disables pq before sleep and re-enables it on system wake, but not sure if there is enough time before sleep to execute it
hmm have you tired on windows?
or steamos?
Tried changing brightness?
What do you mean
brightness test on windows or steamos
Windows works as it should, SteamOS is worse than bazzite for compatability currently
agree but i'm still do test performance between steamos and bazaite
Already done one. They're up further in the thread. Bazzite is ahead but it's minimal, but a win is a win
Wouldn't waste your time with steam os honestly. It's a worse experience
i saw your result wukong
The quirk file is read before gamescope launches
Hmm righto, Ill have a think about how to implement this then
You cant
Well what I was thinking was this,
In you module for where it detects legion go 2, if that statement is true, it would run a script that monitors the state the device is in and will disable your pq variable just before sleep and enable at wake.
Or PQ can't be toggled at all like that and has to be on at gamescope start no matter what?
You would have to go within the logic and figure out what makes it switch
And fix the bug
Ahh, yeah bit out of my depth i think haha
Hey what's the satus of the TDP Limit in the Go 2? I noticed that I can limit it to 15 and the GPU wattage sits somewhere 16 and 18, and the same. It's not the value I limit to, but definitely I can see it limited somehow (i.e. it doesn't go up to 25 or so)
Sorry not following.
What's the issue?
Your Tdp you are limiting to is not sticking? It's going over?
If it's giving too much power, see if Tdp boost is on
ui values are from go 1 and slightly off
Sorry, I didn't explain it well. What I meant is that you limit the TDP let's say to 15w and you can see it's limited to 16W. Same with 17W it caps nearly 19-20W
Ahhhh right that makes totally sense with what I'm seeing then. Thanks for clarifying. Will it be updated for the Legion Go 2 at some point to avoid confussion?
there are a lot of todos for the go 2...
Sure I understand of course. Just to make sure it's on the list 😄
With the sleep bug fixed and the TDP limit working (although with the Go 1 values) for me it's totally usable now as my main OS. Thanks for the hard work!
Appreciated
oh really??
I can also confirm HDR is not working yet. You can enable it, but image is not with HDR, it doesn't look near close to windows with HDR enabled. I tried it in Cyberpunk and Ori Will Wisps
Hi sorry for my noob question but has anyone encounter issue that image on Legion Go 2 screen looks grainy/noisy when look at the screen up close? Does this is a bazzite issue or it is nature of OLED panel?
I think you are referring to the mura effect which is a feature of the oled panels
Yes - I think it is. It is common for OLED panels correct?
add mura compensation to the list
You can't catch a break, man.
Everytime there's something new
Hi. I don't let my device in sleep mode. So gaming wise is it recommended to install Bazzite on the Legion 2?
Yes, I think that the mic is also not working
i think i have a potential fix for this
but i dont wanna do a kernel build rn
the go s needed a patch for the mic to work
I was wondering once everything is fixed, will the iso be available on the website or how are we supposed to update ?
you can just update
is any patch already available on the stable branch ?
it works on stable
not for the mic and stuff
the sleep fix is pushed
although i dont think we rebuilt the ISOs
Okay thank you 🙂
Is Proton 9.04 the best version to use for gaming? Was using Proton Experimental for a while and just realized it performs worst than 9
experimental is usually best
Huh might be for that one game then
100% this
I put a bug report into gamescope for the pq issue and it's also on the list for them when they get one

Have you tried the decky plugin for mura compensation as a stop gap for the time being?
valve's problem=will take too long lol
It's way out of my depth to diagnose it. Antheas already has a list that's growing lol plus he's got other devices to cater to.
Just gonna have to sit tight until they get their device unless someone else wants to go diving through gamescope logic
Does the Allow Tearing option in QAM do anything? And is there a way to tell if VRR is working
Sometimes
i agree, brightness, colour is totally different window is same as my oled desktop
Are all the Legion GO 2 buttons working in Bazzite? Do they all show up in Steam controller settings?
Yes except the new ones
@antheas So, this is the third time today that when I boot up the Go 2 I get this bug. It's basically the last piece of the bootup sound echoing and crackling, it goes away when I press a button and another UI sound plays. And I noticed that sometimes it happens randomly too.
I'm on the latest stable build.
Its actually good to see the amount of people putting Bazzite on their Go 2. Seeing quite a lot of reddit posts and comments about it
As of now we can't use or assign the buttons below the d-pad right? I'd love to remove the keyboard from Y1 and the Bazzite button on the back since they get in the way, especially with the controllers detached
The keyboard on one of those buttons would be great, and the Bazzite button is redundant since holding the quick settings buttons achieves the same effect
That's how it works in SteamOS currently. Top button is keyboard, bottom I think was like an alt+tab fucntion
@TPepperoni do you know when the mic will be functional?
No, thats a questiong for @antheas
The battery icon just disappeared from the side panel. The one where you change the TDP, to be clear. Has this happened to any of you?
Are you on the stable or testing? My icon is there on stable.
I just get like sticky side menus. When moving through the options with the dpad it gets stuck sometimes and I need to double or triple press to keep moving up or down.
Also Gamescope game menu gets slow if I don’t set at least 15w.
It was the Steam Client beta. On stable it reappeared. Btw, do you know any fix for the audio crackling on the Go 2, by chance? It only happens after a fresh boot or sometimes when going into game mode from desktop.
I tried changing the sample rate to 44100, which is the default on Windows too, but to no avail.
No. I have the same cracking sound too when booting the device.
having that functionality on Bazzite would be great if possible
Slowly but surely we will do something with those buttons
It would also be great to be able to map the mouse wheel on the back.
Other than a mouse wheel?
I mean, the mouse wheel click (the so-called third button) is, for me, like an extra back button that I’d like to be able to map to any function
Potential fix for mics in testing
Is it normal that the controllers after waking up the device don't instantly work?
I have the tuxborn skyrim mod list which take about 10 minutes to start up. After waking it up from sleep the inputs don't register in game
Not instantly yes
Never no it's a bug
Thanks for the feedback
I had some issues with the controller not working after wake from sleep (doesn't work in game but works in the steam environment). Changing from proton experiment to proton 9 fixed it for me
I need to figure out how to "swap controllers" since some games don't like it if you use a different one from the one it was originally reading
so switching between handheld and tablet mode isn't exactly seamless
switching controller order is not available when there aren't 2 controllers available
Go1 users probably figured this out already
setting the device to sleep seems to do the trick?
nvm it just works now
huh
okay it causes issues if it's emulating an xbox controller
just swap to steam controller and it's all good
it's not working for me 😭
I am on 42.20251016.3
Rip
@TPepperoni Do you have The Crew Motorfest? If yes, can you try to play it. I’m getting this error when trying to play.

Yeah I get this error too. Not sure how to fix it
Oh ok. Probably a bug with Bazzite, cause I tried it on my Steam Deck and it works.
You are probably right. I have got it working before by redownloading the game and deleting the prefix. It seems to be random
But it also crashes within about 5 minutes randomly too
On the Steam Deck it didn't crash at all tho. Not sure what's going on.
Yeah neither tbh. Based of the error, maye its all related to vulkan and proton not plying nice on bazzite in a hyper specific use case
Probably that. I tried ProtonGE, Proton Experimental and Proton 9, neither worked.
I only ever tried Experimental. Did the motorfest pushes get pushed to those other Proton versions?
Proton 9 probably has no fixes. But ProtonGE surely has them.
try out the fixes mentioned in the protondb listing - https://www.protondb.com/app/2698940
Couple workarounds mentioned
Trying all of them but to no avail so far
Good morning! What is the current status of HDR support in Gamescope, on Legion Go 2's Bazzite?
Still borked. There are still features that need fixing, like the microphone and the TDP values that are incorrectly displayed in HHD.
Ah good to know. Thanks for the heads up!
We also have two buttons not working on the left controller
Yeah, forgot about that
This is due to a gamescope bug. Valve devs know about it currently but said they are waiting on a device to go through their list too
Got it so I guess it will take some time
Yeah more than likely. It also affects catchyOS and steamOS
If I ever get a few hours to burn, I could try to have a look into the gamescope logic and utilise my grade 12 coding skills lol. If anyone else is keen to get it sorted in their own time, be my guest haha
Matt is not valve devs, is SteamOS contributor
But that's true, it's a gamescope bug with hdr
Good to know there's external contributors
I also heard Lenovo is stingy with press and dev units, which mirrors my experience
Their software updates are stingy af, so I believe it
Latest main steamos kernel has 15 commits I sent to the kernel
What are the fixes?
Just putting it on par with bazzite?
GitHub
Commits · evlaV/linux-integration
SteamOS kernel integration repository (unofficial) mirror. - Commits · evlaV/linux-integration
Screen orientation, some backlight quirks with onexplayer ayaneo zotac zone displays
Do they have deadlines for submitting to the kernel? Looks like 100 commits happened on the 14th haha. That's crazy
Do you know if there is a way to turn PQ off on Steam OS?
There's not
The commits are just added together in one go
By the guy that made the branch
Like the bazzite kernel
It used to be different
I think they copied the way we do it
Yeah gotcha
You might be able to disable hdr
The greatest form of flattery
But unsure how
Do they have a git for the 6.17 kernel? That's what theyre running on 3.8
doubt
that thats what theyre running
they dont have a git, this is a mirror
according to the mirror, they updated to the kernel i sent you 4 days ago
Steam OS 3.8 says they're running 6.17 in device info
actually, maybe there is a 3.8 mirror
good catch
let me check...
what branch is 3.8?
no 3.8 is not branched yet
nvm, my dyslexic ass saw 6.16.7 as 6.17 :coolfingergunscry:
I would imagine that would be pretty soon, surely
is there any way to calibrate hdr on gamescope?
No idea
Is decky not working or is it just me?
just quick question, hdr brightness issue is same as steamos? yes slider doesnt work on steamos but if slider go to max then bazzite and steamos will showing same max brightness?
and yes steamos sdr is totally different comapre to bazzite as slider doent work
Well not quite
On bazzite pq is disabled
So it's a different kind of hdr
HDR can be work even if PQ is disabled?
That's how it works on the SD OLED so I would say yes. Purists would say no
on SD oled with bazzite or steamos?
or both are same logic?
SD oled does not support PQ
ic
btw just saw cyber dopamine video @antheas
@antheas Hey, any updates on how things are going?
I also have another question. On Windows, in the Legion Space controller settings, there is the option to change the type and strength of vibration. Is it possible to have this feature implemented in HHD?
yes
but priorities
we have a contact from lenovo now
lets see how that goes
if it goes well, on the next pass perhaps
Yeah I understand.
Hopefully it goes well.

@antheas which handheld do you like the most from the new generation?
The legion go 2 but I don't have one
wise man 🙂
any benefit with unstable version?
For go 2 no
Does the tdp slider and joystick lights work correctly?
yes
@antheas I just want to say thank you for all do for bazzite, the community and the work on Legion Go 2. Can't wait to get mine and put bazzite on it!
Ok, thanks
So I just installed Bazzite. I have seen the right back button opens the Daemon menu. But do the two back buttons on the left work?
one of the left ones brings the keyboard and all times and unfortunately you can't rebind any of them or not all of them so I just disable them on every single game
steamos and bazzite is different kind of hdr presentation on go 2?
i'm comparing hdr on windows, bazzite, steamos but little bit different between bazzite and steamos
It’s not fully supported at the moment.
Yes indeed. And when you go to the controller options for a game, you could assign 2 back buttons. But only 1 works, and that is one of the buttons on the side of the right controller of the Legion.
so do back buttons not work?
For me they work. I have the Emulation Mode set to Xbox, and Extra Buttons to Steam Imput (Elite).
The right back button works. It brings up the Daemon menu. But I don't know how/where to check the 2 left back buttons.
For me the back buttons work like this. Y1 is P2, Y2 is P4, Y3 is P1 and M3 is P3.
Back buttons seem to work for me as well.
On a side note, is it possible to disable the M and Y buttons?
I keep accidentally pressing them and triggering A or TDP control. :coolfingergunscry:
Where do you find these P1, P2, P3 and P4 buttons?
In the controller settings of Steam

I only see this with the Extended buttons.
Set the Extra Buttons option to Steam Input (Elite) in HHD settings
I only have steam controller, xbox and dualsense as options
Regardless, I only see what the buttons do on steam controller mode
Oh, it's on the full menu
On xbox mode
Yep
For what exactly you need them? Desktop mode?
The issue with xbox mode is that it's very picky when detaching controllers
I personally don't use them, but would like to see full configuration/functionality
What I'd like to be able to use is the face buttons on the bottom left
Those are still not functional

Ye I know
Also other modes use M1 and M2 as "back buttons" and those easily get in the way since they're on the side lmao
HHD settings?
Extended settings
Hold Y
And go to controller settings
But yeah I personally barely use them since I usually hit them by accident and they get in the way more than help
Aaah, yes
Ok. Thanks
Just wanted to bring attention to it
For me, Xbox mode uses the M3 button as A, in Gaming Mode outside of games, but that’s it. All the other buttons are disabled.
all I know is that A was on M1 or M2 on steam mode and X or B on the other and was like "holy shit that's annoying" and turned them off
and steam mode is the only mode that doesn't get pissy if you detach controllers on games where it likes to use the same input and only that input
detaching the controllers on xbox mode makes it detect it as a different controller
even if you attach them again it still doesn't detect them
That's a bug
So the highest tdp we can set is 30W and not 35W?
this also needs an update
you can unlock the limits for now
Has there been any change with HDR? Until last week, it looked fine in The Witcher 3. Now, it seems to be "forcing" HDR and all the colors look washed out.
really? hdr is still there
btw, i dont know which os HDR is correct between steamos/bazzite
i just reduced brightness and HRD looks better, its almost same as Windows
Reduced brightness in what? Bazzite?
brightness slider
Probably a placebo becuase it should SDR levels of brightness
The problem is that the games detect that the screen has HDR, so they activate it. In many games it can be disabled, but in some like The Witcher it cannot be disabled which makes the colors look bad.
but not sure i had compare with windows many times and its simliar, steamos also
let me try witcher3 later, ghost of tsushima, cp2077, ori, kcd2 rdr2 working well
I figured out what was happening with The Witcher 3. I was using Proton-GE and it must have enabled HDR by default. I switched to Proton 10 and it looks fine again (without HDR).
you should be able to enable hdr
probably a proton-ge bug
What about this? I already tried Proton 9.0-4, Experimental, 10.0-2 (beta) and GE 10-21

The Crew Motorfest doesn't work on Bazzite. Both on Go 2 and my desktop PC. It only works on my Steam Deck with SteamOS.
Yeah I have a feeling it is some kind of exception for SteamOS?
I still somehow got it running once, but it would crash randomly.
Seems weird to have a vulkan error and not be able to play it. Would installing DXVK work through protontricks?
As far as I know, DXVK is already included in Proton.
I would hope it is.
Last night I had to install DXVK to get Transformers: The Game running for me on proton. Mightve just been an issue with such an old game, idk
Has the wine debugger ever opened for you? It never did for me lol
That’s strange.
Nope, it never opened.
Maybe this is a bug report for Proton devs?
I know it isnt the same, but I have The Crew 1 running perfectly fine with TCU
It shouldn’t be, it works on SteamOS and other Linux distributions as per the reports on ProtonDB.
That is true
Yeah, I have it too. It works flawlessly.
Motorfest works even on Fedora 42, which is what Bazzite is based on.
Well now it’s 43.
Ahh so it works on base F42?
Yep

That is weird haha. Im not sure who the Vulkan nerds are in this discords to ask for help either
I don’t know, I even made a bug report on both GitHub and here. https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1432053463403069642
No responses for now :dispair:
I just dropped a message link to your error in the main bazzite channel, hope someone sees it
Looks like it was working before on Bazzite.

I even tried that command. Doesn’t work.
No difference outside of game mode either
Nope, same exact error everytime.
Damn
I just noticed the trackpad isn't available in the controller layout menu?
nvm you can just set it to dualsense
for that
Are there any updates on the HDR status and the contact guy from Lenovo?
Still nothing afaik
looks like tdp, fan curve, rgb is all there for go 2. liking it so far (still installing everything). is there anything that doesn't work at this time?
Here is something

Update for the gamescope HDR issue
That's gd to hear work will be done 👍
@antheas do you know what he means by direct scanout?
Yeah was just a matter of Devs and contributors getting devices
is there a bazzite lego 2 guide yet? I figure it's basically run the "other devices" install but just curious
Pretty much. Nothing really different about it
and it's all working pretty much? I mean I'm installing anyway, I'm NOT running windows on this beautiful thing, but just preparing myself
About 90% there imo
good enough for me.
Some stuff is out of Bazzites hands but it's getting addressed
like what?
display stuff like the orig?
only displaying in 4k or whatever in desktop mode
Nah
HDR but that is a gamescope issue. They're on it however
that's not too bad
Left hand face buttons, like the 2 new bottom left ones aren't working I don't think
that will be annoying but still not too bad
And a couple other tid bits that don't make a difference day to day
kew
Poor Antheas has a list of to dos lol
lol
on steamos, just move the slider to left then its almost same as windows
What do you mean? Moving it to the left would reduce the PQ curver? So wouldn't have as bright of highlights?
Try adjusting the brightness slider all the way to the left.
ive compare few games like kcd2, cp2077, ori etc and looks better
does bazzite handle firmware updates? like controller updates? driver updates?
Driver updates are done by there kernel so don't worry about that. The other two I don't think it does, but don't quote me on it
Having trouble getting the bazzite iinstall to start. I turned off secure boot aand setup the bazzite image with rufus, but it doesn't boot to sd
what am i doing wrong
Don't use Rufus, re-enable secure boot
rrufus worked I just needed to use a separate dock as it couldn't start from micro sd
Oh you installed it off an SD card?
Never heard of that before
He means it needs to composite
So you will lose like 5 fps
Rough, so using hdr we will lose perf or is that using gamma 2.2 vs PQ??
you will lose like 2W of perf
allegedly according to him
Rough. So this is just from enabling HDR in general?
thats what he says
Yikes. Z2E really be losing
Do you know if this would affect the One X f1 Pro with the Hx370 then too?
thats a good question but id say PQ is busted on that one
so it doesnt matter
Seems odd that it would just be a Z2E thing. Interesting to know if it is the same with the normal Z2 aswell
theres an HDR transfer function in gamescope
that relies on some CPU stuff
And that would be where this 2w difference in perf comes into play?
because you cannot use the hardware accelerated form of the transfer function
you need to composite it
Could this be a driver problem, as in the driver isn't utilizing that block or the 890m just doesnt have it at all?
Could be but probably not
Even if it was I separated it
Hmm. Well i take it he has worked out it isnt a bug between gamescope and the driver, my only hope was it wasnt supported properly by the driver. Z2E really taking an L on this one
if you want to recompile gamescope i can tell you what to turn on
and see if hdr works
also i guess this will make you always composite, which is kinda trash
This is my biggest concern
I would but I wouldnt even know where to start hahaha, Never done it before
If unstable isn't being used for any testing, I know how to rebase to that lol
i dont feel like rebuilding gamescope
Yeag thats fair
so only way to fix hdr issue by valve as gamescope?
@TPepperoni If you go in desktop mode and set the brightness to 0%, does your screen become red?
It looks like this.

Is it possible to set TDP higher than 30W?
No, for now the max is 30W.
No mine doesn't do that
Mmh, what could be causing this?
When i was troubleshoot HDR with antheas initially, he got me to change a setting that did do this. Ill see if I can find the message
One thing I noticed is that Gaming Mode does not do that. The brightness doesn’t go as low.
This is is @Mattia
I think it is the brightness is so low, it cannot produce colours correctly
Does it do it on every boot?
Yeah, I think that’s the problem. In Gaming Mode it doesn’t go as low.
Yes
Weird that it is only happening to your. You on latest update?
Yeah

Well then Im not sure sorry. I guess just hold off setting it to minimum until antheas sees it a pushes a patch to cap it?
Yeah, will do that.
Looks like 1% is the real minimum brightness and 0% goes below what the screen can handle.
That is such a weird quirk ahaha
Giving this a try now. What should i turn on?
Can you use the sync script?
Uhh no idea. I have only cloned it, havent compiled it yet. Does the sync script just sync my files with the new gamescope?
Is sync something I do after I compile it?
You have windows right?
Yeah
Hmm unsure
Alright it is compiled
Use the sync script and after you get it to work
I'll give you a command
Some changes*
I'm having a lot of trouble with bazzite on the Legion go 2. It won't connect to wifi. It won't show the virtual keyboard when I go to desktop. I can't get it to actually load the desktop it just remains stuck in game mode. It refuses to connect to 6ghz
The keyboard will randomly break in game mode. Not actually doing any inputs
My controller has randomly quit working in game mode
Trying to restart and it just hangs and never restarts
Using the TouchPad in game mode causes the controller to stop working
Yeah it won't connect to 6ghz whatsoever
I can't get an onscreen keyboard in desktop mode either
Are you on the latest version of Bazzite?

Doesn't look like it. I can't get it to update
Can't even use the onscreen keyboard
So it basically can’t connect to WiFi?
Tether your phone to your legion go
You might need to reinstall Bazzite
I got it connected to 5ghz. Won't connect to 6gz
Then open the Terminal in desktop mode and type ujust update
It will update to the latest version. If issues persist, you can try reinstalling Bazzite from scratch.
Doing that now, hoping for improved functionality and fixes.
Installing bazzite from scratch seems like nuclear option? Are this many issues normal with an install?
Not normal. But the Go 2 is relatively new, some issues are expected.
Roger, appreciated!
Ok it's updated to latest. Still can't connect to 6ghz. Just hangs
Keyboard still not working in game mode. It receives input but does nothing
Tap on the text box again you are typing into
It can be finnicky
youre just unlucky
Yeah it's in the textbox
6ghz support is soso
steam keyboard is on the todo list to replace
Finally. For me it works 7 out of 10 times. It’s so annoying.
Is it just still no way to use onscreen keyboard. Should I reinstall bazzite?
no
the keyboard is trash
just accept that
@antheas is there a fix on the way for the screen? When I set the brightness to 0% i get a red tint.
dont put it at 0
So there's no way to get an onscreen keyboard...? I don't recall having so many issues with bazzite in the past...
create a desktop configuration for the controller
then it does something
altough its still sad
So there's plans to replace the onscreen keyboard in the future?
He said its on the to do list
Eh I gave up. Wayland refused to display. Was issing something with the errors I was getting, bit out of my scope
Manual fan curve in HHD working properly?
In the KDE settings I can enable HDR and calibrate the brightness to be really bright (the last page it says something about choose how bright 100% should be...). Is it possible to reproduce this setting in game scope as well? Or is this related to the HDR issues? Games look so dark in game scope in comparison. Can't even get the same KDE HDR look in Windows either
I've noticed when I limit TDP values in HHD to let's say 30W steam performance overlay actually shows it is being limited to 31-32W. Which value is correct?
It is the gamescope issue
Steam overlay. HHd daemon needs a patch to make it work correctly
Scaling mode is not working? I was thinking about trying 960x600 res with integer scaling but switching scaling modes doesn't seem to make any difference.
Haven't come across this personally
Would it be possible to add a toggle to this in HHD?
Seems my ryzenadj settings have reset and running into the same issue. Would be much easier to apply it with a controller in gamemode
I think it was max-performance
There's a ujust
does the legion go 2 still have the same bios if you're going the bazzite route? e.g. do you still need to go into the bios to fix the vram allocation if you're just going to install a bigger drive and immediately install bazzite?
The bios doesnt change. Set your VRAM to auto
perfect, thanks!
@antheas do you know if there were any changes to gamescope? Guy on reddit telling everyone he has hdr but im skeptical that its an old build
Reddit
From the LegionGo community on Reddit: Holy HDR!
Explore this post and more from the LegionGo community
nothing, steamos still having same issue
Thought that was the case, he just hasnt updated it haha
Why do people never update their things smh
normal user can think this is hdr
Well it is hdr, just not as bright as windows
i mean not same as windows or steamdeck oled
only way is valve need to fix it but we dont know when? lol
Mathew who is a contributer for Gamescope is looking into it for us
i just gave up and enjoying the play
GitHub
Brightness control fails after suspend on AMD Z2E (e.g., Legion Go ...
Is there an existing issue for this? I have searched the existing issues Are you using any gamescope patches or a forked version of gamescope? The issue occurs on upstream gamescope without any mod...
yes i know
hope to fix
Its coming, but seems more complex than anticipated
hopefully can have proper hdr within this year
Fingers Crossed
Are you aware of its scaling issues when Plasma desktop has a scaling value of for example 230%?
Was gonna file a bug report but if it's already a known issue I'll just thumbs up it.
This is what I mean: https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1087140957096517672/1423064863659393076
I'm not aware of an issue
I'm aware it can look like that
Hmm ok, I'll file it just in case then.
Don't file an issue on the Bazzite repo
Not much we can do for that crappy keyboard
Other than replace it
Oh, good of you to let me know because that's exactly what I was planning to do lol 😛
In that case I'm looking forward to its replacement.
@antheas I've tested a lot on a go 2 Z2E, and fan control seems to not be working fully. Can set fans to full speed with the toggle, but the custom curve seems to not work. Enforce win minimums off, but temps never go above ~60c even if I turn all the fan levels to something low like 20%, it still ramps the fan up and behaves as if on some auto setting.
I have noticed the same, but I put it down to dodgy fan curves from lenovo. If it is bazzite, be good to get a fix
if its on lenovo, then the manual fan curves aren't working. which, fine just curious if they should be
They should be working in customode
Also the enforce windows minimums only works on the original go
After that they enforce minimums
The implementation needs a refresh
Anyone else have problem with HDR in Wither 3? I have this game on gog and while I run it from heroic launcher in desktop mode it looks okay, there is no hdr settings in options, but when I run this game from steam there are hdr options and colors look extremly off.
Do I want the bazzite-deck or bazzite-deck Live ISO (BETA) for legion go 2?
bazzite-deck
theyre the same, the live iso has a different installer thats all
This will come as no surprise: Z2 (non-E) working great on latest Bazzite. HDR issue is present. Perf is basically identical to Z1E from what I’ve seen.
This thread has been great for updates and info, thank you.
Alright I think I've got my install done and things look good, waiting on a sync to get all my roms etc for retrodeck synced over.
going to take some time to get used to the button locations differences vs steam deck, still haven't figured out how to open the on screen keyboard on purpose but did pop it open accidentally a couple times
ah, swipe from lower right corner
Dumb Q: when I press the power button on the Lego 2 it appears to go to sleep, except for the power button glows white, is that normal ?
Yes
I know that there is HDR issue in current bazzite 43 on legion go 2 but why there is a difference when gog.com game behaves differently when ran through steam instead of heroic launcher? Can I somehow make them behave the same?
You can turn this off in HHD
Thank you ! Looking at it
What’s this option called ? I see HHD and see the RGB settings - nothing there about hibernate
Hibernate?
Aren't you sleeping?
The setting is something like power led (awake)
Something like that
Sleeping, not hibernate
I’m debating on trying bazzite out vs the steamOS 3.8
From looking around it seems bazzite has more controller options, fan curves, RGB controls working.
SteamOS and bazzite still has HDR issues.
SteamOS has brightness slider issues.
Any reason to even try steamOS since bazzite seems to have more feature?
Not really. I've already done SteamOS and not really worth it. I had working face buttons on SteamOs but it is a matter of time before bazzite supports it
Imo the brightness slider alone is enough reason to use bazzite
I never touch the brightness slider. I always leave it on auto brightness. Is there an issue with that too on steamOS ?
Yeah auto brightness doesn't work on either OS
Sounds like Antheas is gearing up to do an entire legion Go rework for bazzite, so I would expect some issues to be resolved in the coming weeks
The beauty about bazzite is how much more agile they can be than SteamOs Devs. Updates for that can take time where as with bazzite, if it the bug is solved, a push can testing is done within a day normally
You'll be waiting a while for steam os to patch the same issue normally
How about gyro? Does it work as intended on bazzite and steamOS ? Also does FPS mode work ?
I have no issues with gyro. I don't use it but it definitely works
And yeah fps mode works
Oh so gyro and FPS mode works for both bazzite and steamOS?
No idea about steamOs sorry
I'd imagine it would work
I believe fps mode is a firmware thing.
Like you don't need drivers for it
Ah I see.
I was reading that the speakers and haptics were better on windows. Is that true ? Sorry for all the questions, getting my legion go 2 delivered tomorrow and trying to figure out what to do.
You can adjust haptic strength on windows but not Bazzite (yet). If you install Decky and the DeckSP plugin there’s a good number of options to boost audio, adjust EQ, surround sound etc.
Would it be possible to add an option for the power button long press to trigger the power menu (for shutdown, restart, etc.) like on the Steam Deck (e.g. 3s long-press)?
Currently the power button can only be used for sleep and wake, one has to press the legion button and choose Power to get to that power menu pop-up within Steam UI.
for the legion go 2? no
I have managed to fix that by turning off HDR via Heroic Launcher argument DXVK_HDR=0
So the HDR PQ issue has to be fixed by Valve, correct? So the fix would apply to SteamOS/Bazzite at same time?
we would port it
well
someone needs to fix it first
Hi guys, is the trackpad working?
mine doesnt seem to work, tried disabled and re-enable on HHD
Trackpad is working for me using testing builds
oh. base build not working ya?
also the 2 new buttons on the left controller. no way to map it yet?
Unsure tbh, I've been running test builds from the beginning which has the best experience for me. I haven't gone back to stable builds.
You can switch branches through HHD
I haven't figured that out yet
Ok. Thanks for this. Greatly appreciate your response
Trackpad has been working fine for me on stable. Apparently those 2 new buttons work in official SteamOS so we should have them enabled in Bazzite in time 👍
How can i disable the side buttons on the right controller?
Ahh setting emulation mode (X-input) to Steam controller seems to have sorted it, thank god.
Hows the steamos manager coming along? Is it annoying?
im doing part of it right now
Does rgb work in bazzite? Specifically this heinous breathing power led that for some reason every manufacturer thinks people want on their device on by default? :dispair: :dispair:
@antheas This might be a dumb question, but is there a way to get MangoHUD to display the CPU wattage? Currently, it only shows the GPU wattage.
somebody needs to add support for the Z2E to mangohud
go open an issue there
Yeah, I figured.
has anyone tried using the steam recording feature? my recording are getting frozen but the audio keeps playing
has happened consistently with every recording I've tried to do on pcsx2
HDR still has issues. There's two kinds so it depends what kind the game uses.
Silent Hill F has the one that ends up washed out. But it is not that way on Windows.
Thank you all for making this thread, it's very helpful
This was well before we discovered the PQ issue
My message you were replying to I mean
Sorry, I'm a fool. I joined the channel and saw the message but didn't realize it was more than a month ago.
My bad.
Bazzite has been wonderful BTW, thank you bazzite team for bringing such a wonderful experience to us.

how is HDR currently
with the flag i gave you
that enables PQ
When did you push that? I've been moving house so haven't had time to play with it
the one from 2 weeks ago
that you were trying
that breaks the brightness slider
I must've missed a message from you because I've been running with it disabled
yes
but when you didnt
how was it
Yeah it looked good when I had the slider maxed out (in a HDR game remember when you move the slider it changes where you are on the curve)
did you have the washed out bug?
So when it was maxed in a HDR title it seemed good to me, on par with my Samsung panel monitor
so if the brightness is not maxed out it looks bad?
Only when coming from desktop back to game mode
And a sleep cycle fixes it. I have that issue now but it is as easy as a sleep cycle
Well it's in 2 states
like this bug did you have this?
i have a new gamescope patch that makes it so PQ is only enabled when you toggle it in game
Not that I can remember but I probably didn't rest in enough titles
Juicy. I'll report back if you want to push it
Only issue is, you won't be able to change brightness when using pq, only the PQ curve if that makes sense
So if I have medium brigtness set, booting up a HDR game.
Changing the slider in game will only change the amount the highlights are boosted?
That was the issue before
well HDR is HDR
if you select hdr youre getting your eyes blown out
It's hard to convey what I mean because it's such a weird bug 😂.
Well if you can push it when you can, if the issue I'm worried about crops up I'll send a video
testing is building
Oh great, I'll try it too.
Is there a way to rename the speakers name to just Speakers and Headphones when those are plugged in? Currently they’re called Family 17h/19h/1ah HD Audio Controller.
It doesn’t bother me, but would be nice to have them like that.
CSS loader can scrub the name from the volume pop up, which is something.
I don’t use Decky. I had a bad experience with it.
I’m using it right now. The colors look a bit washed out, is that normal?
So, I renamed them from the settings in Desktop Mode. Still shows as Family 17h/19h/1ah HD Audio Controller in Gaming Mode :dispair:
gamescope new patch released?
Agreed with @Mattia. Colours are a bit washed for CP2077.
Looks like when an sdr screen tries to display a HDR image if you have seen that before
This is with HDR turned on (washed out colours)

This in SDR and it looks right

Hard to convey over a photo but I hope it's done the trick
Can you turn on night mode?
Ingame with HDR on?
Yeah
Yeah nightmode works
But
See if it fixes hdr
It does the pq bug I was talking about earlier
What do you mean?
Compositing is broken too?
I'll video it
It does it washed out with HDR got it
Well the washed out big is present yes but the slider is still fucky
This is HDR enables
This one is with nightlight
Slider goes down to half but the brightness won't get lower. Only sliding to the right boosts the highlights
It doesn't look very washed out
It doesn't sdr looks more washed out
hmm wahsed out?? mine is ok
HDR looks almost as if it's clipping
I'll show you a comparison with both my displays in the picture
Both Samsung Oleds
does it look like its clipping if you set the brightness to below the highlight part?
I just adjusted my HDR settings in CP2077 ane it seemed to have fixed
That's my bad sorry
Yeah it looks fine now
great, so now you get PQ hdr the real thing
and it doesnt mess with brightness without hdr
brightness slider shod not setup to max then youll lose white
Is there a way to change brightness with a HDR game open?
Or will we have to close it?
it should also help with desktops
No, thats what HDR means
you cannot change brightness with HDR on
ive compared bazzite testing/Steamos/SD Oled/Windows
Ahhh okay
hdr says this point on screen is 400 nits
make it 400 nits
its not adjustable
but hdr being activated always was a bug
max peak brightness looks silimar with windows or steamdeck
Go2 is 1100nits
This explains the behavior on the lower half of the brightness slider. Thanks 😅
So this is a bazzite work around I take it?
Youve done well to sort that tbh
its not a workaround
its the proper fix
does valve closed that issue on github?
let them figure out what they want to do
probably will be fixed on steamos in 6 months
so you've import latest gamescope version to bazzite correct? @antheas
I also did that
Before I applied the fix
Hello, do I just install Bazzite, switch to the test branch and download updates in order to get the fix?
Hell Yeah
For HDR yes
Next request, that download screen off feature 👉 👈 pls
Im waiting on kyle to build steamos manager
i already did the fixes just need to test them and homogenize them
Ah, sweet. Thanks for the all the fixes and dev once again
How is the max HDR brightness now compared to windows?
Thx @antheas for your time and work:)
And what's the optimal slider position for HDR?
before the high point
after that it clips the highlights
Mmh, mine doesn’t behave like this.
are you in testing?
Whats yours like?
Yes

The brightness goes down like normal.
HDR
I take it you are in game with hdr on yeah?
Yes
Yes, Far Cry 6 with HDR10 enabled in-game
That is how I thought it was meant to work tbh
maybe it depends on the game
I can test Cyberpunk, just need to install it.
I used HDR-PQ in Cp2077, I'll try HDR-SRGB now and see if it is different (In game hdr settings)
In Far Cry 6 there’s two options. HDR10 and HDR scRGB, both behave the same on my end.
Mine behaves the same on both settings, atleast there is some kind of constant then haha
Im trying Far Cry 6 now
I really don’t know.
Btw, I enabled HDR in Desktop Mode and I don’t get the red tint on 0% brightness anymore.
Ahh that's good you fixed that
Yeah, now I get a bit of clipping with some dark colors, but It’s better than before haha
My far cry behaves the same as mattia
Although HDR10 looks undersaturated and SCRGB is way oversaturated

It detects HDR but isn't displaying hdr
for which hdr is that?
Both
That’s odd, for me both options are undersaturated and the HDR indicator is on.
I took some screenshots so I hope they convey it
It’s not by much, but for example, the red background in the pause menu loses about 30/40% of its saturation.


So over saturated is SCRGB and the undersaturated is HDR10
do you get the HDR indicator?
It is there on the brightness slider yes, but it is 'greyed' out
Want a photo?
i saw above
so no
Oh true haha
the fix is faulty
gg. Well it works on one game we know of at least
On mine the colors lose a bit of saturation. scRGB is the same as HDR10.


if the badge does not align its a bug
For me the HDR badge does work.
HDR badge?
hmm
above the brightness slider
Im gonna restart my Go and try it again
Nope it is the same issue for me still
issued by game by game??
Hard to say. Could be my user error (something different with my setup?) or its the game. Kinda need a third to test Far Cry 6 if possible
hmm i dont hv farcry6
Newly joined here because of the GO2, my GO2 behaves the same as @Mattia's in Far cry 6 with the newest test update.
im trying some fixes
im building another potential fix
damn 60 bucks
That’s how much it costs to use GitHub Actions!?
thats how much far cry 6 costs
testing started building
@antheas Hello, did you find a way to fix the mic ?
no, i attempted a fix
i dont have a go 2
i am testing on my ayaneo 3
but it doesnt have a PQ hdr display
although the fix will help there too
Ah ok. I have a ubisoft key, You could refund it. Shouldn’t be that different from the Steam version.
60bucks?? lol
you should start a crowdfunding campaign so we can get you a Legion Go 2
you are helping all of us so much
Yep, I can help too, if that means we all get full support.
let's give it a week, we might get something from lenovo. If you are feeling generous https://bazzite.gg/#sponsor
testing is built
hopefully this one is a bit more stable
HDR is still washed out or with minimal difference. Brightness slider is working though
Far cry only or in general?
For me it’s the same as before
General
Which games
Tried cyberpunk, dragon ball sparking zero and far cry 6
Rachet and clank rift apart seems to be working though
As of now, I tried Cyberpunk and Far Cry 6. The colors are a bit washed out no matter what type of HDR setting I use.
Yup, i am in the same situation as Mattia
I’d like to point out that when I was using Stable, it was behaving the same as Testing right now.
is the HDR badge lit?
Yes
when you toggle HDR in game does the badge update?
and does the brightness slider behavior change
The HDR badge lights up, and the brightness slider changes color to a lighter one about halfway through the length.
this looks correct
It’s only the colors that are a bit washed out
is it worse or better than stable?
Better since the slider is working under HDR?
the colors
maybe they are not perfect
but are they better than stable?
No, makes no difference or even slightly washed out on both
youre on latest testing right?
Is this the latest?

Yes
ill take the small W that the output curve is PQ now when HDR is on
and that hopefully the highlights look a bit better
Does God of War perform like this for any of you? Already tried every version of Proton. It’s been happening since the latest Stable version (now I’m on latest Testing).

Before it was working at a stable 40fps with all graphics set on Original and 1200p
Well, not really 1200p but 1020p with 85% resolution scale
Now it’s working. For some reason, the GPU memory got reset to 2GB.
Ill test when I get home for lunch
HDR Bazzite vs Windows in hogwarts legacy


Same settings on both. I see the FPS and I want to cry. We need HDR to work like it does on Windows.
Just tested and it hasn't changed anything on my system
theres something sus with hdr
I just remembered I had lsfg on so sussing if that makes a difference
You're in the clear @antheas
Lsfg VK doesn't like the HDR
I'll have to let Kurt know about that
so now hdr issue is fully fixed correct?
Its better yes, but there are still colours issues as you can see above in @adrigm message
Just saw your comment on reddit about the download while screen is off. Is there a way to spoof the device ID?
Yes
But then hhd breaks
Damn. Annoying that it's only for steamdeck
Hi, I'm using Bazzite on the LG2
But just today the controllers stopped working entirely, only the Legion Space and Options Button work surprisingly
Does anyone have a fix? Is it possibly because Lenovo updated the drivers today?
probably you are in fps mode
ah gotcha it works now thanks so much
@antheas any test you need? I have Windows and the latest testing version of Bazzite
@antheas Seems like the HDR fix causes some other issue. Sometimes when switching to Gaming Mode from Desktop Mode, the screen colors become completely washed out.


You switch while an HDR game is on?
Nope. I switched to add a game to steam.
I didn’t even start any games before
I have HDR enabled in desktop mode, could that be the issue?
I switched another 5 times, it happened 2 times out of 5.
Yes
Ah ok, I’ll disable it.
@antheas It’s no longer happening. By the way, the freeze that occurs when switching to desktop mode still happens occasionally.
I’m happy with everything about Bazzite on My Legion Go 2 but the touchpad is starting to get on my nerves a bit due to how it activates at the wrong time whenever I rest my hands on the controller. I know there’s a setting in HDD to disable emulation of it but it outright doesn’t disable it at all. I’ve already tried unchecking the box for the touchpad on the Desktop but it still persists in game mode
I saw there’s a solution to disable it on Windows via legion space but I’ve already wiped windows off clean with Bazzite being the sole OS so any solution would be greatly appreciated
I also have this but a sleep cycle will fix it
Yeah, I thought the new KDE version would fix it, but I guess that’s not it.
Btw, is your audio quieter than on Windows? Not by much, but when having the volume half way, it’s a bit hard to hear. On Windows 80% volume equals to 100% on Bazzite.
Can't say I noticed that but I will check it out later today
can i get some of you to test tdp controls on latest testing? The ones on steam
gpu frequency and tdp should work
So just checking for correct selected TDP and we can manually change Freq?
yea
Righto will get back soon
The TDP control disappeared for me, and the GPU frequency slider doesn't appear when enabled.
yea jjust checked there is still a race condition
if you go to desktop and back it will work
Are these the fruits of porting over SteamOs manager?
Tdp controls disappeared for me too
Do as Antheas said above
@antheas GPU slider seems to work fine. TDP stays above the set limit by 2W with certain values. For example 17W stays at 18/19W while 20W stays at 19/20W.
does hhd respond?
It does open
It does
with tdp
It says Steam is controlling the TDP and shows the set value
both TDP and GPU freq.
btw, the discrepancy of the TDP is probably because the TDP Boost is enabled. Now it shows the 17W and doesn't go above that.
It all seems to work correctly.
Well, it does. But only when it needs a little bit more power.
It doesn't quite get down to 4w, normally sits at 5-6 but I don't think many are gaming at that wattage.
Forcing the frequency didn't seem to work at such a low wattage but I will keep trying it this afternoon
No issues with hhd
Hey guys, so I installed Bazzite and switched to the testing branch. Just to test, I loaded cyberpunk and in both HDR modes it looks like the highlights start clipping around 65%+ brightness. Is HDR supposed to lock the display to max brightness? It’s my understanding this is a gamescope issue that valve has to fix?
Also I’m down to donate money to help @antheas get a Go 2 for development as I can’t use windows and I bought the device mostly for OLED + HDR features
Is this expected?

(my nvme shows up twice, as internal storage, as well as a second entry with the drive name that prompts me to format the drive in order to use it)
Not sure but mine does this too. My Go S on SteamOS did this as well.
is this normal??
fresh reboot in gamemode brightness slider controll overall brightness but after sleep/awake brigneess slider works different
Yeah that looks like a sleep cycle borks antheas' fix
That's exactly how it behaved before the fix
maybe i need to rebase old version to test
@TPepperoni BTW which one is correct slider works? from my video? before sleep mode? or after sleep mode brightness controll? im sure before sleep mode as just normal
Before sleep mode is correct
slider only works on 1108 build before fixing hdr issue
Slider shouldn't work with HDR on thats ok
Provided that the HDR looks better
If it doesn't I'll yank PQ again
thats why im confused which one is correct as not same as SD Oled but SD doesnt support PQ as you mentioned
but also confused with SteamOS, slider control broken but is this ok then on HDR?
slider should work without hdr
and it shouldnt with hdr
because hdr gives absolute brightness values
you can see it in windows when you switch on hdr content, you dont get a brightness slider or it maxes automatically
steamos brightness slider doesnt work because it forces HDR10 PQ even when you are not looking at HDR content and does a conversion from SDR to HDR
there is also an additional conversion bug that makes the colors look a bit muted with HDR on
you can also see it on your phone
but from my video HDR slider works at the very first time as fresh boot, after that when i awake from sleep mode then slider doesnt work
on HDR contents
that just means my fix is not perfect...
ic
but anyway i dont want adjust slider on hdr mode if proper HDR peak brightness is displayed
then how abt SD Oled they can adjust brightness in HDR what is the difference? bcos PQ?
yea its fake hdr
good to know
Just a dumb question, will bazzite support 4060 egpu?
I have swgzone but not sure if it can work on Bazzite
Nvidia image
Perhaps
Reporting something interesting.
If you dual boot and map a button in Windows using legion space, it'll carry over to bazzite and it seems you can't undo it. At least for the back buttons.
I had mapped B for Y3 for Silent Hill F. When I rebooted into bazzite, that button stays B or double presses with B being an input.
I tried factory resetting controller in HHD but problem persisted.

Yes
This is one of the problems that will be fixed on the next pass
Not that it stays mapped
But that reset doesn't work
Fully that is
@antheas I've found a problem: the microSD card randomly unmounts, and when I restart my LG2, it takes a while to mount. I thought it was my card, but I've tried several others with the same behavior.
i’ve had similar issues, wound up moving all my roms to my internal storage because switch games would suddenly stop loading assets from the sd card
wasnt sure if it was the card or my lego 2 or bazzite though since all 3 are new to me
Odd, never had this problem.
Toggling VRR off and on again in QAM also fixes it btw
Weird fix but good it works haha
The difference between one photo and the other is about 40 seconds. I haven't done anything but wait.


Is it a Sandisk 2TB by chance?
I have a black one that has intermittent issues but my grey one that is 1.5 tb seems to have the issue less
But I have experienced this issue too
Yes, it's the black (extreme) one from SanDisk.
Ah okay, so we have the same card then
Which SD card do you have?
Sandisk Extreme Pro 2TB, same model and size i used with my steam deck with no issues (albeit not the exact same card)
@antheas is there anything we could do to troubleshoot this?
We all seem to have the same card with similar issues
Grab logs
See if there's an error
hhd logs?
yea those are fine
Thanks to this "bug" I'm finally able to turn off the touchpad in Bazzite 😅 My palm keeps touching it when trying to get a comfortable grip on that damn right stick placement
If/when HDR supports gets fully solved, imma empty my 401k for king @antheas
Yeah I’m already done with windows on this thing learning you’re stuck with legion space for gyro instead of being able to use steam input
Absolutely heinous
Hello, I installed Bazzite (dual-boot with Win11) on my LG2 and have to say I’m very impressed. The performance and battery life seem much better than Win11 so far. I just had a couple of questions:
1) I can’t get my keyboard to work in the BIOS (to change the boot order) or the boot screen to select “Enroll MOK”. I disabled Secure Boot for now but I’d like to figure out why the keyboard doesn’t work. It’s a Logitech G915 and I plugged the dongle in using USB-A to C adapter. It works once I get into Bazzite but not at the boot screen/BIOS. I tried disabling Fast Boot but it didn’t help.
2) Are we better using Stable or Testing for the LG2 for now?
2) both are kind of the same
Current testing has steamos manager so you get better tdp controls in steam
If you set the controller to Steam Controller in hhd, enable handheld mode beta, and then set touchpad emulation to controller. this treats it as a steam input touchpad and you can then disable it or remap it game by game. You do lose two of your back buttons though as it treats it as a legion go S controller
you can also disable it as a usb device via the linux virtual file system (and probably libinput, but I couldn’t figure that one out), but I’ve found this method sufficient for me
anyone tried new bios?
Is it possible to update the bios without windows?
nope
Maybe this works for the Go 2? https://docs.bazzite.gg/Handheld_and_HTPC_edition/update-bios-lenovo-legion-go/
How to Update the BIOS on the Lenovo Legion Go from Bazzite (No Win...
Bazzite is a custom image built upon Fedora Atomic Desktops that brings the best of Linux gaming to all of your devices.
Does lenovo not provide binary bios files like asus does, that you can put on a flash drive and install in bios directly?
I don't think there's a flash utility in the bios of Lenovo handhelds. I searched a lil and all I could find was Legion Go 1 owners using Windows 2 Go USB stick or the linked method above
oof, that sucks
Locking the bios update behind having windows, that's super scummy
It's not an evil thing
Devices not in the Linux program don't get efi updaters
You can extract the bin from the exe and use that method
It's a standard Insyde bios that's supported by the fwupd capsule
Thank you for confirming!!
I haven't tested it but I'm 90% sure it will work
I won't have my Go 2 for another week or so, or I'd try it out now
So the Go S does have one then?
No, it is part of the fwupd program
Just as good
Almost, ThinkPads are a tad better
The legion go 1 also was part of it, although last update is from feb
I suppose, but tbh I don't expect the same degree of support for a consumer handheld as a business computer. If they're at least in fwupd that's convenient enough to me.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is the updates Steams System -> Check For Updates the same as using HHD to check for updates?
I’m on the testing branch if that matters.
I used 7-Zip, this are the files inside it. Can't see any .bin file, unless that's the .fd file.

thanks for your service of being the first to try this out, i want to do it but i don't neccessarily want to be the first to do it 😄
WinRRCN....fd
So that's the bios, right?
yes
Do I need to rename it, or I just use it as is with fwupdtool?
As is
side note, iirc the release notes for the firmware default the vram to 10gb (up from the original 2), i have mine set to auto, is auto the best choice for bazzite or should i go with 10gb?
For me auto didn’t work. The GPU memory never got past 512mb.
This was in Bazzite??
Yep, it never got past that when in-game.
Thanks for confirm, also thanks for digging into bios extraction
It’s updating

It’s done. If anyone wants to do it, be aware that after this screen the controllers will flash red. It got me scared lol.
Wonder whats new with this bios update
There are some security updates and makes it possible to select more GPU memory sizes for people that didn’t have those options due to an older BIOS version.
thank you for taking the leap of faith for us 🙏
Thanks. I was on my toes the whole time ngl 😅
Yes thank you so much!!
Btw. I did disable secure boot, but after updating I didn’t need to do the enroll process again. I re-enabled secure boot directly.
aight i did mine, also smooth / no issues
I can't even download the bios they don't show up on US or UK support. How / where'd you get them?
Keep in mind that this is only for the Z2 Extreme LeGo 2
side note, despite the notes saying
7.Set UMA Buffer default size to 10G. it was totally set back to 2 when i went into the bios after updating 🙄Mine didn't, I guess because I was on the version 11 bios and I had 12gb selected.
Depending on what they configured the bios with it may or may not reset your settings
That is expected and means it is working
I believe you but can you elaborate on that because that intuitively doesn't sound like what one would expect to see.
Antheas would be better to elaborate on it as he would know the more technical side, all I know is that it is definitely working. Auto vram is average on windows but linux handles joint memory much better. I set my BC250 to auto and it works perfectly fine same as my LeGo 2
I know that on auto the VRAM shown in the settings is 512mb, but it would not use more than that in-game. That's the odd thing.
Mango wont show more being used, but linux is definitely handling the UMA. You can set texture settings to high or ultra and you wont have any issues
I tested God of War and Far Cry 6, both where running around 10-15 fps with all the settings on medium with the VRAM on auto 🤷♂️
That is acutally crazy. Definitely dont have that issue on my system. Was that on the new bios?
No, it was the version 11 of the bios. Didn't test it with the new 12 version.
Anyway, I have it set to 10gb. There's plenty of RAM left.
I think 11 is the one I have. That is weird we have completely different experiences haha
Yeah exactly
That's the crazy thing. Same software and hardware and yet the experience is completely different.
I will wait to install bazzite until we get the full support. Thanks to @antheas and the rest of the development team. Donated by the way!
It's full enough by now, the only problems are the HDR quirk and some niceties
yeah i've been using bazzite on it since friday or so and there's nothing really glaring that i'm missing moving from my steam deck oled
For me, it's basically just HDR + the 2 new buttons on the front of the left controller. Mostly HDR though
I bought this to be a Steam Deck OLED Pro basically, and I loved the HDR experience on the Steam Deck lol
yeah the 2 new buttons would be nice to have for sure, would love to be able to e.g. make one of them the home button for the eden emulator
I use Chiaki to stream PS5 a lot and was thinking it'd be great for mapping to the PS button lol
Which oddly enough... Chaiki set to H.265 HDR and the Go 2 isn't enabling HDR, but works fine on Steam Deck. Guessing it maybe uses HDR PQ and its a bug with that
yeah i do a fair bit of sunshine / moonlight-ing (anytime a game either doesn't run well on the handheld or uses mods that are easier to set up in windows) but i haven't tried it on my legion go 2 yet
I'm playing Ghost of Yotei right now so using it more than normal
So basically the issue is you cant enable HDR?
It is enabled, but not as bright as windows yet
its not?
is it better in testing?
Are you replying to me?
yea is it not brighter in testing what am i even doing 😭
I havent had an issue in testing after turning off lsfgvk
It seemed a bit brighter but it wasnt eye piercing tbh. My internet is finally getting sorted today so im gonna test some more windows stuff and will report back. I havent updated testing since like tuesday as well if thats gonna make a difference
I just tested cyberpunk (test branch) and it’s DEFINITELY brighter than HDR being off
Just tested Witcher 3 also and HDR is looking fantastic in it too
I don’t think it would be eye piercing in windows either unless you’re in a dark room. It peaks around 1000-1100 nits. Which is good for HDR1000, but the latest iPhones and iPads for example peak at 3000 nits.
Horizon Forbidden West looks much better too (just testing a few games)
@antheas hdr is bright, slider doent work as u mentioned its normal, are we setup the peak brighness to 1100nit?
Still no HDR in Chiaki NG for PS5 streaming 🙁
anyone having issues with running games from the SD card? I noticed while playing some emulated games the games randomly freeze for about 1 or 2 seconds. Also happening with the Steam version of Final Fantasy 9 and Chrono Cross. Whenever it tries to load something game freezes for 2 seconds. Does not happen on other devices or on the internal stotage.
Looking online apparently it was a known issue with the OG LeGo
By chance, is it a 2tb exrtreme sandisk sd card?
odd you say that - i'm having similar issue with a 1.5tb extreme sandisk sd card. I assumed it was a cpu issue w/ z2e vs z1e. what's the sandisk thing?
A few of us have had weird issues with SanDisk cards on the go 2
Might be elsewhere but was fine on SteamOs and on my go 1
decided to install bazzite, which one to install? bazzite deck or bazzite deck live iso?
yeah I was having this issue with unicorn overlord in Eden, wound up moving everything to internal storage for now
anyone having sd card issues in windows? I’m not dual booting so I have no basis of comparison but i imagine it’d be helpful to know if it only happens in bazzite or if it’s a broader lego 2 issue
I think you're like the 6th personae I've seen so far having the same issue. Do you have any logs? Mine hasn't played up since so I haven't got a log
Hey just to chime in, 1.5tb SanDisk and having similar issues but my card has been used for about a year so could be bad
Ie prime hack would have a stutter/freeze, now that the stuff has been moved internal and the card removed it's fine
Additionally, I had the same stutter in steamos 3.8 main channel, (switched to Windows prime hack but it kept crashing so I tried bazzite again on internal etc and here we are)
1tb sandisk extreme and 512 samsung evo pro. Also happens in Steam OS 3.8. I think its some sort of hardware issue, maybe driver? Was not an issue with the Go S or Steam Deck.
Have no tried it on Windows* Can’t be bothered to go through all that pain. But on the LeGo 1 it seems to affect Windows users from what I have read. Its a shame because I didnt really want to fill my main drive with emulator stuff. Never had the issue with other devices. And even steam games also get affected from running on SD card. Making the slot useless.
Hi! I'm a bit late to the party. What is the HDR Fix for the Go 2? Is it in the testing build? Or should I do something on my device?
I do not think there is a fix yet, beleive they are still working on it./
But Antheas mentioned something about the HDR fix for the meanwhile
You getting better highlights
Oh really? I must have missed it
@antheas Little question. The MangoHud owner said that I can try the 0.8.2 rc2 version to see if the CPU wattage is displayed.
What do I do?
Do I run the mangohud-setup.sh file, or is there another way?
you... wait
update to testing
Alright
Now the wattage is displayed but, I have the TDP set to 20 and MangoHud shows 20 on the cpu and 11.9 on the gpu.

yeah, thats expected
the readings were always off
he refuses to fix them and blames amd
ok, one more fix in the books
Why tho? 🤣
dunno
he says its because he reads the driver values
and thats what they say
Well, if that was the case wouldn’t the TDP not work as intended?
Like, the TDP is set to 20 and the driver says 30 in total between gpu and cpu. Wouldn’t the TDP be set to 30 instead?
theres something off with the values he reads for cpu and gpu
and they add up to more
I always assumed cpu showed total package tdp and gpu showed the portion going to gpu. maybe thats wrong?
No, the sum of the CPU and GPU watts should be the TDP value that you set.
right i just meant in mangohud with how he's displaying them
MangoHud should not be displaying power consumption like that.
I had a bit of a play and Lenovo must send out their image in the Go 2 with a bit of over saturation for the colours in windows. I just fiddled with vibrant deck and I would say we are on par (just by eye)
So it could be a color profile thing
Perhaps, but I would be willing to bet linux is the more accurate one
Probably
I cranked Vibrant decky to max saturation, and while not accurate, it was very pretty hahaha
Could very well be that either Lenovo or Windows are doing something while HDR is enabled. On my G27Q HDR looks better on Linux than on Windows, and it isn't even calibrated on the former.
Windows and HDR quirks live in harmony together
Can you even calibrate HDR for Gamescope? I would imagine calibrating on KDE means nothing for gamescope wouldnt it?
It should not affect Gamescope afaik.
Yeah I thought they would be seperate
Or does use of that PQ curve void the need for calibration? Im guessing that is the case
The only thing that seems "connected" is the brightness. When going into desktop mode the brightness from gaming mode will be used, even if desktop mode is at 20% while gaming mode is 50%.
For example: You switch from game mode (with 50% brightness) to desktop mode (which is set to 25%). Result: desktop mode sets the brightness to 50% and will change to the original 25% only if you do a sleep cycle or try to change the brightness.
This is probably a bug.
Yeah maybe. I remember when antheas and I were running some troubleshooting for the slider, kde uses a completely different thing for changing brightness to what the steam client uses. Might be a case of the 2 communicating but I dont think one controlls the other
I really don't know.
Same haha. My memory is also foggy from like 5 weeks ago too lol
@TPepperoni This only happens when switching from game mode to desktop mode, not vice versa.
Oh wtf 😂 . That is not what I thought you meant. Yeah gotta be a bug haha. I guess its a helpful bug?
Could be helpful? I don't know.
Well you wont get flashbanged going to desktop if you set gamescope to min brightness and desktop to max
Ah that's what you meant. In that case yeah, it's useful lol
seems like a minor kde timing bug
Anyone have RDR2 that can try and launch it? I get the rockstar launcher then black screen.
If I understand correctly, it switches to desktop too quickly that there is no time to adjust the brightness.
yes or it skips it because it expects systemd to do it or sth
I had this bug too. Try opening it in desktop mode and change the graphic settings. If you still get a black screen, you need to edit the system.xml file of RDR2. Find this string
<adapterIndex value="1" /> and change it to<adapterIndex value="0" />What a legend. Editing the system.xml file worked
You don’t need to thank me.
hv u tried calibration on windows?
I haven't tbh as I wanted to keep it stock for comparisons
@Mattia maybe give Proton 10.0-3 a shot?
I saw in the patch notes there is a fix for Motorfest but unkown what it is
Cool, I just need to reinstall Motorfest. Will be able to test in an hour.
I really need to change my WiFi lol
I do wish steamos scripts could work on bazzite. Theres an all in on script that sets up waydroid for destiny rising and makes a shortcut in game mode for you plus the crew issue. Is there a log for the crew that it throws? I opened something when mine played up and it had like 300k lines
When I got that error I pressed Cancel, but Wine debugger never opened in both desktop and game mode.
Yeah i had the same problem. Damn
Dude how did you get vibrant deck to work?
I just installed it off the store. Didn't have to do anything on my end to get it to work
There is also a guy on Reddit that did the same, not sure if his had a guide or anything but I'll see if I can find it
on the go 2? I tried it and it did jack crap
I bet those colors POP
Yeah go 2. Yeah makes it real pretty haha

Love the YT channel btw
Gosh those colors are STUNNING!!!!!
Dude thanks man!
Cyberpunk looks ridiculous good with the neon signs
I updated my windows to 25H2 and my bazzite dualboot disappeared so gonna reinstall rn and get that vibrant working
Dude I bet. It's best of the best right there
Ah bummer. There is something I believe in the live iso that can help you get the bootloader working again. Depends if you have anything you wanted to keep on the bazzite install I guess
Ill try uninstalling and reinstalling vibrant deck when Im home to see if I get the same issue as you
no brother enjoy what you have!! Dont worry about me dude
Alright, save potentially borking it haha. I take it a bazzite video is probably on the way then?
I think bazzite support is like 90% there now, it is just QoL stuff antheas is working on now
And @Mattia getting proper mangohud reporting for the cpu
maybe! whatever the vibe is in the moment. Yeah everyones so on top of it's insane
Yeah for sure! Antheas is going to nuke this thread I feel once it is fully supported 😂 . We are wanting stuff everyday ahaha
The owner of MangoHud just said it may have fixed the issue.
Just need to wait for a new testing build to verify that.
Does mango autoupdate or is it something antheas has to port?
Antheas needs to port it.
At least that was what he did before.
Kinda wild that just 5 lines of code could be the fix.

3* the other 2 are just comments
@TPepperoni Motorfest still throws the same error
It's definitely a Vulkan error, though. If you wait a moment, you can hear the game audio in the background.
Damn
I didn't expect much to be honest. The game has become a dumpster fire on Windows with the recent updates.
Many people have had the game crash on multiple occasions.
You don’t have to make a video on it but if it’s your vibe, then it’s your vibe
Ah damn, it's a shame because the content looks kind of promising
Yeah, it’s a good game for when you need to turn off your brain. At least in my opinion.
Bit like forza horizon. I also NEED Forza Motorsport but game services not being packaged with the download is stopping that
Its so dumb considering that package it with forza horizon and Indianna jones, Turn 10 just doesnt package it with motorsport
I remember that. I was so infuriated I couldn’t play Motorsport.
It actually has decent perfomance on windows on my Go 2 as well, just needed offline and the Gaming services for linux and I probably wouldnt play any other racing game tbh
That said, I hope Xwine 1 comes with the goods, might be able to get FM7 going with that
good to see u here,👍
I’m excited for that to come out. It will be awesome to play FH2. I never played it back in the day.
I know there’s the 360 version, but it’s not quiet the same.
Same tbh. ShadPS4 is making good progress too, driveclub and GTsport will be handheld playable too soon i bet
wth?? no guide?
It should be download and use, shouldn't need a guide but cyber said his did nothing, so idk what the issue is
let me try to config as 200
Driveclub blew me away when it came out. The devs did some type of black magic to make it look so good.
I played it before school the day it came out. Criminally underated haha. Still holds up visually. Sony could make bank with some older PC ports
That's what mine is set too
max is better
Try setting all the way to left then to right in game and see if there is a difference
So it is working?
That's good
looks not working on HDR
Hahahaha straight up due
Ur talking about vibrant deck?
yep
0-200 is same
Just reinstalled and same crap. No difference

Try toggling on and off the per-game profile.
I can’t
It’s using global idk what that is
Open a game and turn it on.
It could work
is this yours or ETA prime 😁
Are you on testing or stable branch?
of bazzite
looks vibrant deck only working on sdr
It works! The difference is tiny compared to how I remember vibrant deck on the Steamdeck

I feel like it isn’t as powerful as it used to be
I think it used to go upto like 3-400 on deck didnt it?
Where can i find it choosing testing or stable on the website?
There's a few ways to do it but I find the easiest is through HHD
Open up the big menu and cycle down the tabs to you find your version/ release and you can change it there
Thank you 🙏
No worries
btw i think vibrant deck is only for sdr contents as i remember like SD LCD
stable released but not sure any difference
with latest test build
Yes stable synced
So, now that stable is synced do we have to do anything for hdr in game mode? There is no tool for calibration?
there are some color settings but thats about it
what do you need to calibrate
Anything like saturation or is it mainly red, green and blue hues?
both yeah
Saturation might be nice if hdr allows
Does anyone who dual boots can say if the HDR brightness on bazzite is on par with windows?
@antheas MangoHud should, in theory, have a fix for the TDP now.
https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud/actions/runs/19350076029
ill pull it later today
Alright, no rush.
I think Windows is brighter.



1st is Windows, 2nd Bazzite with brightness set before line colour changes and 3rd is Bazzite with full brightness.
Also, windows seem more natural in HDR. Bazzite seems more saturated, maybe because I have vibrantdeck turned up to max.
A plugin like vibrantdeck is going to mess with your HDR since it’s altering the color profile
Yeah. I’m using it because the SDR in Windows is more vibrant than Bazzite.
why is there 2k comments
how many should there be?
I know this is from a while ago, but I did something and can no longer bring up HHD with the back right button. seems like left controller back buttons do nothing and right controller is mapped to a and b and I've tried changing the controller settings but cant seem to get the HHD shortcut back. Anyone know how to fix that? Or is there a best practice way to confiugure the LeGo 2 controllers in HHD? Sorry first time using Bazzite or HHD and I've tried skimming back pretty far but havent found how to fix that or I missed it lol
double tap the righ side menu button
legion r
Thank you I'll try that. I loved having it on the back but was trying to enable the other back buttons and screwed up that one. lol. I've even reset the entire HHD setting back to default but still stuck with back button A and B. I will try the double legion r shortuct for HHD though, that is helpful to know
just change the xbox controller setting
to set the back buttons to keyboard/hhd
Quick question, the upper usb-c Port of my Legion Go2 randomly stopped working, it wont detect any device or cable
Is Something known about that or am i screwed ?
hold the power button to reset the ec
if it keeps happening probably
Damnit 😭
question, tried opening cyberpunk for the 1st time, under the the user agreement none of the buttons work to press x to accept or b to decline. what im doing wrong>
nevermind working now
Hello guys, 2 questions: how to activate the touchpad ? I can’t move the mouse on desktop. Second question: to activate HDR I have to set it up in the game? Cause if I enable it on desktop, when i switch to gaming mode it’s washed out. Thanks
just go into a game with hdr
Ok thanks. Does trackpad works or is it borked right now?
The trackpad works. What's the issue you're facing?
It does not work for me. I disabled it on windows (via the toggle) maybe it’s the issue? Is there something to do to activate it?
My contrôler is setup as a steam controller
The controllers settings carry over to Bazzite. If you re-enable it on Windows, it will work again.
Thanks!
@antheas if your’re going to build a new testing build with the MangoHud fix, use this instead of the other I linked before. The owner told me that he made a typo in the previous commit. https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud/commit/e84c017968bb9d3e05442e8bdbbe34278dd6c72d
yeah i already built with that
Ah ok
Updated to testing 43.20251114.5
MangoHud is working correctly
Working. .6

Thankyou for sorting that
Thanks for pushing it. Feels so close to full support haha
When awake the device from sleep after about 30 minutes, the controller stops responding
only QAM work
Update: draining the battery completly did the trick. So my port wasnt broken just blocked
Fps mode?
how can verify? i've never used fps mode
on windows
Button right button
on hhd? can i select mode?
Make sure the bottom right switch is not toggled
yep always off
In the steam controller settings what do you see
ive used xbox elite mode
Anyone know if HDR is working with moonlight?
Sadly, not for me. It works for installed games, but Moonlight is not triggering HDR for some reason.
When I manually set the TDP to 10w HHD sets it to 8w.
Does any of you have the same issue?
Needs some tuning
Leftover go 1 stuff
Ah ok
Same with Chiaki… no HDR
ETA primes video seems to show us Non-E buyers aren’t missing out on much. I’m fortunate we have 32gb standard on Z2 model in my region, so the gap is probably even less.
I'm pretty sure that's a Windows issue not using the Z2E to its best abilities.
I'm curious how both would compare benchmarking with bazzite.
I’ve been curious to see an even comparison too, the go 2 to go s comparisons I’ve seen the z2e wasn’t much ahead, but they also had the steamos version of the go s, so it wasn’t really like for like
I went from Z1E/16gb -> Z2 Go/16gb -> Z2/32gb.
Honestly Z2 Go is a champ given what it is. But it buckled in POE2 and other heavier games. Z2/32gb very solid with everything I’ve thrown at it.
Prime benchmarks are wrong. For some reason CPU boost on the Z2E kills performance on most games I have tried. I think it starves the GPU. I ran a benchmark on my LeGo2 z2E with Cyberpunk, same settings as him but with CPU boost disabled and EPP low. I got 53.8fps, he got 41fps. A massive 12 fps difference.

and GPU is auto?
cpu boost shd be disabled
I'm out and about right now, do you disable CPU boost in the steamos menus?
HDD Daemon. CPU Settings , change to manual and set CPU boost to disabled and EPP to low.
GPU is auto.
Thank you!
https://www.reddit.com/r/MSIClaw/s/6H5Szw70y1
This might be interesting, on the window side, another user found these TDP settings to run the Z2E better. They got an additional 10% performance boost.
Might not be relevant for us on bazzite

Another user tested on the Legion Go 2

This is what I'm getting:
25/25/25W
CPU boost on
GPU clock: ~1500MHz
25/25/25W
CPU boost off
• GPU clock: ~1900-2130MHz
25/25/27W
CPU boost on
GPU clock: ~1800-2100MHz
25/25/27W
CPU boost off
GPU clock: ~1900-2130MHz
That’s exactly the problem. I wonder if it’s some sort of firmware issue? I’m not that technical with hardware. But there is something off with how the Z2E handles CPU boost. That’s why you see so many poor benchmarks result all over YouTube.
Yeah eta prime is pretty loose with his benchmarks.
I use simpledeckytdp to tune my Z2 towards GPU performance, be interesting to see how far the gap is with both cpus set correctly.
My guess might be due to heat. If the CPU consumes a lot of heat from power than the Z2E has to clock itself down to compensate so the CPU doesn't thermal throttle its boost clocks down.
On a desktop, CPU and GPU have their own cold plate and they don't experience distributing heat loads directly to one another in close proximities
I’ve noticed Z2 is very quiet at high TDPs, better even than my OG Rog Ally Z1E. Wonder if it’s benefitting from cooling thats designed for the extreme variant.
Is it me or the sound on Bazzite is smaller than in Windows?
Yep. DeckSP plugin for Decky will let you boost audio plus bass, we, add surround sound simulation etc.
Just found a super weird bug: when I start Hades, the legion go MUTE my Sonos system that is on my local network (so the TV gets muted). The game start normally and sound goes out from the internal speaker as it should. Im not plugged to the tv whatsoever: wife is watching tv and I am playing on the sofa, but every time I start the game, it mutes the Sonos 😅
Is there an update on this?
Also low hanging fruit, but is there a way to have the audio and video not stutter when waking?
Also had this issue on my other Go and Ally X
Same! This guide should fix it. https://docs.getaurora.dev/guides/disable-airplay-discovery/

Guide to display Airplay Discovery by Pipewire
Wait your controllers connect immediately? Mine take 3 or 4 seconds after coming back from suspend.
its only because I let the whole movie play. It still would take the same amount of time as you
If I cancelled the movie mid play it would still take time to wake the controllers
This, plus a fix for the audio. Bazzite sounds smaller and lacks bass. Windows audio is better.
Thanks mate!!
Something weird happened last night. I was playing DQ3 HD-2D and the battery drained normally down to around 40%. Then it seemed to drain rather quickly down to 5% and shut off before I even had a chance to plug it in. I got a low battery warning at 5% but none before that.
There's a fix for this
Run this
sudo mv ~/Downloads/disable-raop.conf /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/
Thanks mate
Does anyone know how to turn on the joysticks when they're detached after sleep?
Topmost buttons on the front of the controllers, iirc a long-press
Anyone knows why the amount of time it takes to return from sleep varies so much? Sometimes I’m back in two seconds but sometimes it takes much longer, around 10 seconds.
I'm new to the eGPU stuff. Anyone have any recommendations? I was thinking of getting a 9060XT, would it be bottlenecked by the LeGo2 running bazzite?
Has anyone got the refind GUI to work on the legion go 2?
Refind works on mine just fine, bazzite and Windows at least, doesn't recognize steamos 3.8
hmm odd, after install, create config and install config. there's no refind in my boot manager
Weird, try manually installing it?
It works, thx!
Just one thing, do you know maybe how to make wake on Bluetooth from the "joy cons" possible?
That I do not know, sry.
@antheas is there anything we can provide to get those left hand face buttons working?
did you ever manage to run hhd locally?
also what the hell are we going to remap them to
Just speaking for myself, but if it's possible to map it to turn the screen off that would be amazing
No. Didn't know I was meant too. Will get to that this afternoon
Maybe the swipe screen shortcuts in hhd?
Like make a menu in hhd to choose what action to map them too?
What do I do when it get it running?
actually nvm
just run
sudo hhd.contrib hidraw
and find the buttons on the mask
then ill add themdo you need just the output of it (asking because I do not quite understand the "and find the buttons on the mask" part)?
Current output:

its 1
you need to find out which bits are the new buttons
as opposed to the old ones
Do you have what you need now or still want me to do it?
no
i need the bits
and ideally which buttons are before and after
Ah righto. Will get to it this arvo
Howd you go with steamos manager spoofing? Still busts HHD?
steamos-manager is fixed and shipped
So the downloads while screen off works for devices other than deck?

The option for downloads is not there under "power" settings
Maybe the top button for keyboard and the other for HHD.
Hardcoded for steam deck
Damn, and no way to spoof it without hhd breaking?
A variety of stuff will break because we could have to spoof the dmi data
Also for these devices we'd need to turn off the controller
But if you turn off the controller you cannot wake it back up
Because they made the screen only wake up if you touch the controller
If you press the power button it exits download mode
Why's that?
Because modern standby turns off the controller
Damn. Been wanting this feature for years ahahah
Ah makes sense
Also were they the bit outputs you needed?
Which buttons are next to it
When you press them
I don't wanna math it out
One to the left is the start and select buttons
No idea which one is to the right of it though. Feel like ive tried all of them
@antheas pressing middle mouse button on the scroll wheel while in controller mode is also the same bit
On that one bit, Middle mouse button is an 8, top face button is a 4, bottom face button is a 2
Hi, just want to know what’s not working on the Legion Go 2? Last I heard only HDR is not working properly? Any ETA when there will be an update?
sorry if this has been answered before, new to the community.
I think HDR is largely sorted now. Currently sorting out the bottom left face buttons. Its only QOL stuff now I believe
That’s very good to hear!
If I instead Bazzite on my Go 2, am I locked out from future AMD Drivers and other important driver?
Thank you in advance!
You dont need to worry about drivers, that is all handled without your input. Firmware Im not sure about, I tihnk you may need windows to update the controller firmware. Bios updates can be done in bazzite, but it isnt as straightforward as windows
I see, thanks again for the clarification.

Anyone see an issue where occasionally going from gamemode to desktopmode through the power menu; desktop comes up but no desktop icons or taskbar at the bottom? I can only hold the power in until the LG2 powers all the way off. I then do the same & desktopmode works fine.
Clean install of latest Bazzite on 4TB SSD. No Windows partition.
Would it be possible to get HDR working in Moonlight and Chiaki?
Yes, it happened to me more than once.
Btw you don’t need to power off the Go 2. Just put it to sleep and then press the power button.
Will do & thank you
You’re welcome.
One other thing; it seems like Lossless Scaling isn't working. Any workarounds? It used to work on Bazzite in my AyaNeo 2 but not the LG2 Z2E.
Lossless scaling does work. Make sure you install it before installing the lossless decky plugin and select the Linux version in compatibility when installing lossless scaling.
If you installed Lossless after installing the lossless decking plugin. Uninstall and reinstall the plugin. Otherwise the games won’t open if you copy and paste the startup command to enable lossless (from my experience)
Hey folks. Is the fingerprint sensor currently working on the LeGo2 w/ Bazzite?
I heard it should in kde
Was there a change with HDD daemon recently GPU settings? I noticed that after a restart it sets itself to maximum GPU clocks instead of auto how it used to be (if I am remembering correctly) I thought that maybe this was a workaround fix to the Z2E issue where CPU boost lowers and caps GPU clocks affecting performance negatively.
Hm that's a bug but it doesn't affect performance
Because the maximum default is that
Is updating Bazzite through Handheld Daemon enough? Or do I also have to go to the Desktop Terminal and use ujust update?
Updating trough HHD, Desktop or Steam settings in Gaming mode is the same
Oh nice! Will it be out on the next stable build?
Has there been any progress on figuring out the sd card stutter issue some are having?
Is it possible to use fingerprint to unlock the device in Gaming Mode?
no
is that a general limitation of Gaming Mode, or is it something that could be fixed for the LeGo2?
General limitation
Depends if the bits I gave Antheas was enough for him to map them
@antheas was anything I gave atleast useful? I kept trying to find which button was to the right of it but couldnt find it. Is the left one enough to go off of and the fact it is the same as the middle mouse click?
it was but im drowning in fixes
Yeah no worries, I just wanted to check to see if it was what you needed
Last ping sorry @antheas . Is it obvious what would be causing this stutter at wake on the wakeup movie?
Probably the audio driver updated. A variety of audio issues came up with f43
This has been happening since F42 for me on my ally and Lego 1 too
And the video also stutters a bit too
Thanks
@TPepperoni is HDR fix in this update?

Im pretty sure it by now. Test it and see
I'm on testing build but I would assume it's on stable by now
Thanks for all of the great info & support in here. I appreciate all of you.
I notice some games are stuck at 16:9 on bazzite

That's a weird one. Is fullscreen selected in graphics menu?
@antheas does SteamOS manager allow us to put TDP up to 35W? I still have a limit of 30w
Both don’t work
that may not be a bazzite issue, a fair number of games just don't really support 16:10 without mods
that looks like elden ring and when i google "elden ring 16:10" it seems like that may be one of those games
Nexus mods might be your answer
i need to update hhd
Crazy, it actually renders at 16:10 but they put black bars there to cover it to be 16:9
If you know off the top of your head, what's our Go 2 list look like now?
I think its:
Face buttons in the bottom left support
Ig that tdp fix
SD Card issues (I havent gone hunting for logs yet, might try that this afternoon)
If you have time, a way to turn the screen off using hhd for downloads - hhd version of the steamdeck downloads thing? (Idk how feasible this is)
Thats just what i can think of
Also those screen settings you were talking about (Like saturation) would be nice too pls

Yeah, when a game does not support 16:10 I always try to find a mod/patch to fix it.
Thank you!!!
I’m getting knocked silly today lol. Another one won’t do 16:10

here you go https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1325-octopath-traveler-ultrawide-superwide-widescreen-fix/
wait that's for octopath traveler 1 :glorp:
I figured out the Moonlight HDR issue. For some reason the Flatpak doesn’t trigger it, but it works with the AppImage.
here's the correct one @Cyber Dopamine https://github.com/Lyall/Octopath2Fix
I don't have octopath traveler 2, but that should work
One thing you can do is search
<game name> 16:10 mod/patch on google. There are many mods for this type of things.Interesting. Thanks a lot!!!
Excellent find, it works!
i used the octopath traveler 1 patch on my steam deck but then stopped doing it because it was a little wonky during cutscene transitions and that annoyed me more than the letterboxing
Now if we could figure out why no HDR in Chiaki
Just checking in, are there any interesting patches pending in Testing or does Stable have everything?

Anyone here on latest testing and don't have controller being detected?
Latest testing borks hhd or the controller

Probably fps mode
It isnt toggled with the switch
I rolled back and conrtols were back
try stable
the update went live a few hours ago
which is great if everything broke
also post a log report from hhd
At work again now, will send them when i'm home unless someone else update and test?
yeah
hopefully it did not explode haha
Awesome. Is the HDR fix in this update?
Or should I move over to test builds for that?
Controllers dead on test for me too, rebased to stable and working
+1 would like to know this
Just tested on stable build. Not working. Probably still only on test build.
Ok appreciate the reply. Any clue what the hdr fix is? Performance and PQ fix?
I'm not sure exactly. Usually when there's an update info straight to testing a game that runs HDR-PQ.
What's the issue? Like it doesn't display HDR?
Silent Hill F uses the non PQ type HDR. There's a mod that, I believe, enables PQ HDR. I use it successfully on the Windows side, but when I use it on the bazzite side, it looks washed out.
It could also be a game issue too?
I use SRGB HDR on far cry 6 fine
Do you have a non modded game to try?
Let me check to see which games use the PQ HDR
I think cyber punk as both as well as far cry
Has*
Also why would you want to change HDR type? Is there a difference?
My controller not working too after latest testing build, how can i rebased back to stable if controllers not working?
Go to desktop, get handheld daemon in your apps and open it. You'll find the setting in there to rebase.
Before you do that, can you provide a hhd log please?

No
Ok. Yeah havent booted windows in a week
Does stable work?
Use a touchscreen
Yes and so does testing-43.20251117.2
No
the stable from yesterday
Is that the latest stable? If so then yes
ok i figured it out
xonedo bump broke it
