I forgot to mention that the lid did not stop working here between 4.9 and 4.10. Actually here it works with a Siduction 4.16 kernel, but does not with the Liquorix 4.19. Just for the fun of it I tried the Debian 4.19 kernel from Sid and the lid happens to work again. Maybe this is due to some (possibly faulty) driver modules missing from the Debian kernel, but that's of course just guesswork. I think for now I will just stick with 4.16 and see if in the course of time the missing modules will be picked up by debian. > > I believe reporting to debian is the best so long as you use a debian > > kernel.

Just because it is old does not necessarily mean that no one bothers. After I upgraded to Stretch I filed a bug report because my 20 year old sound card suddenly had stopped working and after a couple of weeks they had this fixed so now the card works as good as new. As far as Win 10 is concerned that card is as dead as a doorknob :-) Regards Michael .-.. .. ...- . .-.. --- -. --. .- -. -.. .--. .-. --- ... .--. . .-.
