Agreed. I haven't been able to find any newer BIOS for that device,
the user space should be the same.

Missing workaround might well be the case, and the panel is definitely
not the same as the one the GLK has. We have several other panels that
could be tested with though.

"Luckily" I own one of those machines :P

That opportunity is now rapidly fleeing, since the HW in

has already been submitted and gotten a R-B.

Yeah, enabling on CNL too makes sense and getting systematic PSR2 testing
would be awesome.

"recurve" => "receive"?


Kind regards, David
