Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2026 04:14:59 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-221090-215701@https.bugzilla.kernel.org/> (raw)
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=221090
Bug ID: 221090
Summary: intel-hid: Tablet mode switch not working on Dell 14
Plus 2-in-1 DB04250
Product: Drivers
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: 6.18.7
Hardware: Intel
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: low
Priority: P3
Component: Platform_x86
Assignee: drivers_platform_x86@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
Reporter: peter.metz@unarin.com
Regression: No
Description:
On the Dell 14 Plus 2-in-1 (DB04250), the tablet mode switch is not reported to
userspace. The device identifies itself as a "Notebook" (Chassis Type 10),
which causes intel-hid to skip the dmi_vgbs_allow_list check and ignore the
VGBS method.
Evidence:
- DMI Product Name: Dell 14 Plus 2-in-1 DB04250
- DMI Chassis Type: 10 (Notebook)
Verified Fix: Manually adding this model to dmi_vgbs_allow_list in
drivers/platform/x86/intel/hid.c enables full functionality (tablet mode starts
working).

$ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name

$ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/sys_vendor
