Asunto: [DNG] Kernel error requesting UEFI upgrade.
Hi,

If DNG administrators consider this email not appropriate for the
list, please delete it.

A kernel error is requesting me to upgrade my HP Probook 4540s UEFI.
The error involves the i915 graphics driver. On another laptop, the
one on which I coded simple-netaid, i915 failed to turn on the
backlight for a whole year. However, at that time I found a workaround
using a kernel parameter. I wish I find another kernel parameter that
prevents the current error. Since DNG is read by many who may have
used kernel parameters to override sloppy firmware implementations, I
am posting here for some help.

The kernel "complains" as follows:
<<

[    7.471269] [drm] This can cause pipe underruns and display issues.

Thanks.
