Srinivas, are you using UEFI boot? Does the problem go away if you try
enabling CSM or legacy boot?

That would be [1]. On certain machines we need to use the bpp from VBT,
otherwise eDP fails. For some reason the VBT on certain other machines
reports a different bpp value depending on UEFI vs. CSM/legacy boot,
where the former fails but latter works.

There are more affected machines than just Asus Zenbook UX31A IVB, and
I'm not sure if quirking is the right option... still hoping to find a
good solution that works out of the box for everyone.


BR,
Jani.
