Good to hear that the new kernel will be release sooner.

I have tried using the Kernel:HEAD repo before, but the nVidia driver is still
not in the KMP folder.  Since I need the nVidia driver to connect the external
monitor I can't use the rc kernels for now.  Unless someone know how to make
AMD iGPU use the HDMI output.

Thanks for the update and the work-around.  At least I can use the touchpad in
a pinch even if it is not as good as it should be.
