The reason I chose this laptop, too. :-)

Would you believe it? It wasn't installed.  After the big update I did
the automatic removal of orphans - I wonder if it got caught up in
that, somehow.

So - I now have M3 working - with the display problem that I already
knew about, but that's definitely KDE related, as a second user
doesn't see it, so now I can work on that.

The only remaining question is "how did a working system end up
without a display driver?"

Thanks for all the help.

Anne
