On a system with the same mainboard: |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i drm |
| 54 |
# CONFIG_DRM is not set |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Eg, DRM is not necessary. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
I don't reboot often enough to find it necessary to "fix" the UEFI boot. Mine |
| 60 |
still goes into the EFI-shell and from there I start xen. |
