Thanks for the reply, I find it very informative. I wanted to make sure about the BIOS I am using, it seems to be F.28, which is the latest that HP is offering I believe. The kernel version that I use is 4.3.0-1-amd64, which should be the latest available in Debian Testing. It must be 4.3.3-5, I believe. I am actually getting a message relevant to i2c during the bootup, which I found from dmesg below. $ dmesg | grep i2c [ 10.923432] input: ELAN0732:00 04F3:0358 as /devices/platform/80860F41:01/i2c-1/i2c- ELAN0732:00/0018:04F3:0358.0002/input/input8 [ 10.965980] i2c_hid i2c-ITE33D1:00: error in i2c_hid_init_report size:19 / ret_size:18 the message numbered [10.95980] is what is also shown during the boot. Do I need to blacklist i2c_hid? Best Regards
