Let me break it down for you, the BIOS is NOT out of date in regards to any of the Intel video BIOS portions. Version 2.27 has the same Intel video BIOS extension that 2.29 contains. It is foolish to update BIOS's just because you can, generally you do them because something is broken, but in

Brandon MacEachern, to advise, if you would care to review the Lenovo website, your BIOS is clearly outdated. Also, a WORKAROUND is not a fix, and wouldn't be eligible to create a patch from. Despite this, to fix your issue in the default configuration (i.e. no WORKAROUNDs), it is most helpful

I have been trying a few of the recommended changes, and so far, Force rasterization on all layers didn't work. It was less of an issue but not completely gone. I have now moved on to the one you mentioned, using sna and dri 3.0. I thought these were default options though? Either way I forced
