For those gamers that happen to get their hands on the ASUS ROG Flow X16 gaming laptop (2023 model, GV601V), sent in as a fix for Linux 6.6 is ensuring this 2-in-1 laptop will now properly enable tablet mode when flipping the lid over. A simple DMI quirk needed to be added to the ASUS-NB-WMI kernel driver so that the tablet mode gets properly enabled.
That quirk is part of today's platform-drivers-x86 6.6-2 pull that also includes a handful of Mellanox platform driver updates.
The ASUS ROG Flow X16 gaming laptop features an Intel Core i9 13900H "Raptor Lake" processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 or 4070 graphics, a QHD+ 16-inch display with Adaptive-Sync, 8GB or 16GB of memory while upgradeable to 64GB, and 1 TB NVMe SSD. Pricing on this year's ASUS GV601 ROG Flow laptop starts out at $2,699 USD.
