I got the bios upgraded, but the problem has not gone away. I hope someone would look into this problem. The machine is usable, but I cannot access any display output except default, as described in the the original bug report. I can demonstrate that the hardware is correctly working by changing the bios setting to boot using the hdmi display, but then the laptop screen does not work and xrandr does not find it.
The current machine state is as follows: # dmidecode 3.0 Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs. SMBIOS 3.0.0 present. Table at 0x4F0E8000.
