Hello,
A separate question from the SKU/DMI topic — this one is about display power management, not firmware.
On my EXCALIBUR-AMD-AI under X11 (Zorin/Ubuntu 24.04 base), the internal panel does not turn off its backlight when I close the lid. My logind is set to HandleLidSwitch=ignore (I don't use suspend), and on my previous Intel laptops that configuration gave a clean native blank on lid close. On the Excalibur (Radeon 890M, DCN 3.5), the panel stays lit — I currently work around it with a small script that forces DPMS off.
Since your slimbook-psr-fix package already sets amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x610 on this machine, you're clearly already tuning the Display Core PSR/panel behaviour for this panel. So my questions:
1. Is the "panel doesn't blank on lid close" a known quirk on the AMD-AI variant?
2. Is there a dcdebugmask / dcfeaturemask bit (or another amdgpu parameter) that restores native backlight-off on lid close?
3. Do you expect the upcoming amdgpu DC Power Module (heading to kernel 7.2) to address this on this panel?
Currently on kernel 7.0.0-28-generic (HWE). Happy to test any parameter or kernel you'd suggest.
Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Christophe
