$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('NoDiskNoFun', '@')vman: could you please upload a working build of kernel 4.18/4.19?
Unfortunately neither of the two is working well enough for me to be using it. I think wi-fi was still broken with my last 4.18 attempt.
I made a lot more attempts with the 4.19 in development, since I'm hoping to get that running properly before release, if possible - although I'm not sure when and where to report my different problems. I reported the screen issue in the #tegra developers' chat, which might still lead to a fix. For the rest I'm basically hoping it will get fixed anyway, as 4.19 progresses.
Today, with 4.19 'just after RC3', was a big improvement over my last attempt, still with RC2: there the built-in keyboard would not work, and I had to connect an external keyboard to actually log in. Today the internal keyboard was working again. Also, today was the first time in a long time, that I saw the battery indicator working, instead of steadily showing 50%! But wifi did not work, and even connecting my usb-to-ethernet adapter would not allow for a connection to the network. So this kernel still is mostly useless to me.
One thing I'm still waiting for (apart from the battery indicator) is video decoding acceleration! Watching YouTube in HD currently is the only reason I'm still booting ChromeOS occasionally, on the CB5-311.
I'll definitely post my config here, and the steps to reproduce what I did, once I have a reasonably working recent kernel again... but probably not a full kernel binary, unless you can't reproduce what I did, @NoDiskNoFun. Compiling the kernel with my config takes around an hour or so - not very long, since most modules are disabled. I'm used to much worse compile times, e.g. from compiling KDE with MacPorts on a PPC iMac (on which I was dual-booting Linux too, of course)...
