Installation
Firmware
You will need some firmware from the Linux firmware package:
root #emerge --ask sys-kernel/linux-firmware- iwlwifi-8265-27.ucode
- i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_01.bin (be sure to follow the Intel manual)
And add them space-separated in the kernel firmware selection:
Device Drivers --->
Generic Driver Options --->
(iwlwifi-8265-27.ucode i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_01.bin) External firmware blobs to build into the kernel binary

Kernel
Touchpad
To set the touchpad (and keyboard knob) in the kernel, do the following.
Device Drivers --->
I2C support --->
I2C Hardware Bus support --->
<*> Synopsys DesignWare Platform
Multifunction device drivers --->
<*> Intel Low Power Subsystem support in PCI mode
HID support --->
Special HID drivers --->
<*> Alps HID device support
I2C HID support --->
<*> HID over I2C transport layer
After that, the Synaptics article can be followed.
NOTE! Altering acpi_osi parameter may result in touchpad being not detected and as such, not working.
Nvidia dGPU and freeze on starting X with dGPU switched off by bbswitch
It may occour that Xorg freezes on start if prior to that dGPU was disabled using the bbswitch kernel module. The system may also randomely freeze after waking out of s2ram. Soluton to that is to enable CONFIG_ACPI_REV_OVERRIDE_POSSIBLE and add acpi_rev_override=5 to boot params. https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/764#issuecomment-395869314
