Prompted by abs@, I got a reconditioned T495S. > ethernet is re0, this is different from the intel models that are > usually wm0. internal dev chatter would point to wm(4) being the > better driver, but probably not enough to matter for my purposes > (100mbit/s DSL). I usually use ethernet at home. The T495S needs a Lenovo specific dongle to use the re(4) device, it was cheaper to get an axen(4) device to use in the USB-C port so haven't tried the re(4). > Anyone using amdgpu with a device like this?

It doesn't really work with amdgpu, fails to attach maybe 9 times out of 10 and hangs whenever I try to use it. Have seen a report that Linux 5.6 doesn't work either but later revisions do, not spotted anything obvious in later DRM drivers to try though. The integrated camera doesn't work on the T495S, I think this is a limitation of our xhci driver.
