Great!

I updated the quotas accordingly [1]. With the resolution limitation to
1920 still in place, the resource requests are gone and as far as I can
tell everything looks reasonable - except the page fault [2].

Another observation is that if the resolution limitation is in place,
when I now update the fb_drv configuration to enable the internal
display with its native resolution, it shows the following screen [3]
(it's the photograph that's blurry, not the display ;). Please note the
cursor is usable across the whole screen. I thought this might be a side
effect of the resolution limitation, removed it and booted again. But
when I remove the resolution limitation, report_dump doesn't work.

I don't have any experiences in porting Linux drivers to Genode so I
can't contribute substantially. But if testing/logs are required, I'm
very eager to help! I feel I'm in good hands and will get an XPS 13 9370 :)

Cheers, Roman
