First of all, i am completely pleased for your tremendous work on this kernel for surface devices, am a Cuban artist from fine arts who have a Surface Book 1, and I haven't more money to buy another laptop, I work on linux and i don't want for use my dGPU to have the two systems on my laptop... my work it's completely digital.

Please can you support the dGPU on Surface Book 1, is it too much difficult? Please i don't know how to do.... and i work with video editing, game engines... i don't want to use windows....

form linux itself i can't see the dGPU with lspci, i don't know if only with your kernel the dGPU could work or if i need a nvidia driver, which driver??? maybe a privative one? please help....

Moreover i have a doubt... you have two repositories, Linux-surface(jakeday fork) which it's that i am currently using, from the archlinux repo, but you have linux-surface-kernel repo here, which one i have to use??

i hope that you don't stop your wonderful work on this project,

Greetings

I have the same issue (SB1 Performance Base) and searched the internet for hours and hours for a solution and it seems to me that it is possible but very hard to do! I am a linux noobie and i hope that someday someone will help us with this issue!
