Sound

Audio output via the headphone port does not work if the microphone is muted when the laptop is started. Unmuting the microphone fixes the issue, it can be savely muted afterwards.

Display

According to

$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_edp_psr_status
Sink_Support: yes
Source_OK: no
Enabled: no
Active: no
Busy frontbuffer bits: 0x000
Re-enable work scheduled: no
Main link in standby mode: no
HW Enabled & Active bit: no

The FullHD panel supports psr, but the i915 psr implementation for skylake has known bugs.

What does not work

  • Fingerprint Reader (0a5c:5834)
  • DW5811e stops working after suspend, presumably the UEFI does initial configuration, needs more testing
    • Per LKML runtime power management does not work for the chip (EM7455) used in the DW5811e, disabling runtime pm and reseting the device makes it usable.
