i915 boot configuration to disable i915 compression and disable power saving features.

I updated android.cfg with disabling power saving and compression features of i915 drm driver. I also added another menuentry for a tablet feature and a tablet that is being charged. You'll notice that the graphics are better for all menuentries except the tablet menuentry. Cheers.

How to use laptop monitor and external monitor same time Darkmater phoenix os like windows duplicate screen option

Riggs6012 updated Surface pro External Monitor Android-x86 any Distro with a new update entry:

Surface Pro needs 4.19 kernel for external monitor

To use your external monitor with your Surface device. You need the Prime OS 4.19 kernel because version 2 kernels 5+ don't have the external monitor support. I don't know why it's not supported it's just not. This kernel should work with any distro not just Prime OS and the WiFi is better. The kernel is available for download in the Resources section on this site.
