I have noticed one more thing after using new kernel with harrharryharrys config: 5Ghz wifi was working for 15 minutes, but I need to reconnect every 2 minutes.

I cant reproduce the issue, does dmesg show something when it disconnects ?
Does anyone know a solution to the issue that lid state is incorrectly reported as "closed" after suspend/resume ?
until kernel version 4.8 I could apply a patch from this bug tracker, but sadly the patch cannot be applied to kernels 4.9 and newer. the last messages of the bugtracker say the patch is upstreamed and can be applied by adding a kernel boot parameter (button.lid_init_state=open) but that does not work for me...
Lurking a really long time, and this page has been great--you guys are the Obi Wan Kenobi's of the x205ta. This little machine Linux usability has really matured under the stewardship of this thread--totally viable, if not fickle Linux box now. Using the instructions, I was able to get the sound working on Debian. One detail for Jessie, you need to include the backports repo in your sources.list to install the firmware-intel-sound. Harry's instructions a couple pages back are on point (thanks Harry!).
I'm really a kernel noob, so can anyone point me to a process to diagnose a keyboard/input/etc kernel module issue?
Details: The machine boots to LXDM. Bunch of green lights in the scrolling kernel messages. Everything seems normal. Cursor marker blinks normally. Mouse moves around just fine. BUT, hitting any key on the netbook's keyboard causes a shutdown. Suspect this is a kernel panic (this noob here doesn't really know what that is, haha) Problem goes away when pressing keys on an external keyboard, I can log in, type unhindered. Thoughts?
@sven8910: according to @Joshua_Clements it can be fixed by using a slightly older kernel.
@sven8910 Congrats on getting sound to work ! Pierre just pushed an update that enables the use of headphones. However this push does also update the kernel source tree from 4.9.0 to 4.10-rc3. As a side effect this kernel update causes mouse and keyboard to malfunction...

@aleck2, @harryharryharry Thanks for the info! I'll keep steaming ahead with some investigative due diligence to see if I can get a good config running. I'll report back with any successes.
@sven8910 I suspect this issue is not fixable by altering the .config, you may need to look at the differences between kernels that did work and newer kernels that don't work, and apply a 'reverse patch' to the kernel source to get things working again. However I'm not a kernel guru either

@harryharryharry You're right! A diff comparing lsmod output between the two showed no missing modules between a soundless system and the sound-enabled system (was hoping for an obvious boo-boo in my config). Probably means the module changed--but that's what you've been saying in posts 1317/1319.
