** Description changed:

  The laptop shipped with Lenovo's 6.5.0-1019-oem, but upon upgrades
  switched to 6.8.0-47-generic which is generally preferred because
  6.5-oem is no longer seeing updates.
  
  However, there is a regression that Fn+D Lenovo Privacy Guard does not
- switch correctly on after the laptop has been connected to an external
- display, and detaching from the external display does not help. Normal
- behavior is possible only after rebooting with no external screen
- attached.
+ switch correctly on. Instead, it only briefly flashed on and immediately
+ back off, with "Privacy screen enabled" followed immediately by "Privacy
+ screen disabled" at the bottom of the screen.
+ 
+ This bug used to indicate it's clearly a kernel regression, but it may
+ be also a regression in some other component.
  
  ## Test Case
  
  Laptop model: Lenovo Thinkpad T14s Gen 5 (Intel) with vendor support
  Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (oem-sutton-carr-meta)
  
  1. Boot to desktop, check that Fn+D is functional both to turn the feature on 
and off
  2. Attach external display, and try again.
  3. Detach external display, try again.
  4. Reboot, and try again.
  
  ## Expected Behavior
  
- Fn+D works as intended in all cases. This is how it works with
- 6.5.0-1019-oem.
+ Fn+D works as intended in all cases. This is how it worked as the laptop
+ shipped, with 6.5.0-1019-oem as the kernel.
  
  ## Actual Behavior
  
- In the case of 2. and 3., Fn+D only results in a "flashing" Privacy Guard 
being activated but immediately deactivated, so that it does not stay on.

+ Bug description updated to reflect I can no longer find a way for it to 
behace correctly, but it did behave correctly in the configuration it shipped 
in, after which only offered upgrades have been done.
