<html dir="ltr"><head></head><body style="text-align:left; direction:ltr;"><div>Hi Felix,</div><div><br></div><div>I'm not sure how to do this as I haven't had to report a bug before. I've looked to a variety of bug reporting sites to see if anyone else is running into the same issues that I'm having (such as the Mate project) and haven't seen anything at all similar to the issue I'm having. Since I had issues with AMD drivers with my distro (info below) and some consistent and high volume dmesg content shows up, I've decided that I should start here with the AMD kernel team.</div><div><br></div><div>I have a fairly new MSI laptop with the following configuration:</div><div><br></div><div>[code]</div><div>System: Kernel: 5.11.0-25-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: N/A Desktop: MATE 1.24.0 wm: marco </div><div> dm: LightDM Distro: Linux Mint 20.2 Uma base: Ubuntu 20.04 focal </div><div>Machine: Type: Laptop System: Micro-Star product: Alpha 17 A4DEK v: REV:1.0 serial: <filter> </div><div> Chassis: type: 10 serial: <filter> </div><div> Mobo: Micro-Star model: MS-17EK v: REV:1.0 serial: <filter> UEFI: American Megatrends </div><div> v: E17EKAMS.101 date: 10/26/2020 </div><div>Battery: ID-1: BAT1 charge: 66.2 Wh condition: 67.0/65.7 Wh (102%) volts: 12.4/10.8 </div><div> model: MSI Corp.
