Hi, Please reply directly to the list, you will get more, better and faster replies! :) I was thinking of the UEFI firmware, or BIOS, but other firmware and microcode should probably be updated too. Skylake have had some serious problems you might want to read up on. (To the point of the hardware being damaged or at least the lifespan shortened without running an OS with proper support) You will most likely need a complete upgrade to testing or newer to get most of the laptop. You didn't mention it in your post, but I doubt you would get proper OpenGL/OpenCL support and video hardware decoding without X/libdrm/Mesa from testing. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 6FAB5CD5
