Hello, some additional remarks from me.

For this reason, we plan to enable MSI support (at least on NOVA) this year. A short-term quickfix is to manually identify the correct GSI numbers and patch the drivers as we did for testing/demoing recently. > A Thinkpad model that works well in our experience is the X201 (that is > the one Norman mostly uses for his presentations) and from my experience > the T430 does too relating to the list above. We have positive experiences with T61, T400, T410, and T420 too. Furthermore, we enabled (with some effort) a Dell Mobile Workstation (Precision M6800) and some other mobile PCs.
