| No | Investigation and logs required | Display connected to Kensington TB4/USB4 dock results in no EDID/just 640x480 mode (#3050) · Issues · drm / amd · GitLab | USB-C Dock Kensington 4 doesn’t work well, @dimitris has reported the issue on GitLab | 640x480 (no EDID gets parsed)|
Most of them are getting worked on by AMD and have been reported by users (of Framework laptop, and sometimes it does affect other hardware too).
Once they will be fixed, I will either edit this post or post a follow-up message.
Hoping, the drivers will soon deliver excellent stability, the BIOS 3.03 has fixed a lot of issues.
EDIT : Added issue with USB-C Kensington 4 docking station reported by @dimitris.
