You can download the two debian packages from my github repository at <a href="https://github.com/nstommel/broadwell-gfx-kernel-patch/tree/master/4.9/4.9.21">https://github.com/nstommel/broadwell-gfx-kernel-patch/tree/master/4.9/4.9.21</a> No need to bother patching it yourself, that's why I uploaded the prepackaged headers and image .debs. Installation is quite easy, really. In a terminal after downloading the two package files (don't clone the repository, just download the headers and image .debs from the repo webpage, type cd ~/Downloads sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-4.9.21_Custom_amd64.deb linux-image-4.9.21_Custom_amd64.deb On bootup, select 4.9.21 in the GRUB Advanced Options menu. I should note, however, that your machine actually has a dedicated nvidia graphics card, so theoretically this would not affect you at all if you made sure that your Linux installation is actually using the dedicated card and not integrated Intel graphics. Try searching for drivers in the system settings application. Unless you actually want to not use the nvidia card for some reason, in which case please try installing my patched version of 4.9.21. It's interesting this is a problem with the Kabylake processor as well.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
