Not really, unfortunately. I've not been feeling very well lately and
I haven't had the energy to do anything.
I did however at one point compile a small list of problematic laptops
and added an initial implementation to hw-detect. The list and the
patch is attached. I haven't tested the patch though, and even if I
had I would still not been able to test whether it works on the
problematic hardware as I don't own any such hardware. In addition,
dmidecode-udeb will have to be present on the image.
