I’m trying out an MSI Summit E13FlipEvo A12MT laptop. I started out with Fedora 36, but have just upgraded to Fedora 37. I’ve used this laptop very little so far, but immediately noticed a couple of big issues. First, if I close the screen or otherwise tell it to suspend, on resume, the display no longer works. The system keeps running but the display stays black and just alternates turning the display backlight on/off. This has been an issue with the FC 36 kernel, the 6.0.0-0.rc4.31.fc38 and 6.1.0-0.rc5.39.fc38 kernels from Rawhide (FC38), and 6.0.8-300.fc37. The only way I’ve gotten suspend/resume to not result in a broken display is by building my own kernel using the one-line patch suggested at
I used the 5.19.8-200.fc36 srpm, added the patch above, and built the rpms.
The other issue I’ve noticed (with all the above kernels, including my custom built one) is the HDMI port on the side of the laptop does not work. Under Win11 (it’s dual boot), the built-in HDMI port will drive a monitor. Running Linux, I get nothing on the monitor connected to the notebook’s HDMI port.
