Orlov's rationality conjecture for surfaces with full exceptional collections

Let XX be a smooth projective surface. A full exceptional collection in D(X)\mathrm{D}(X) is an exceptional collection that generates the derived category; in the line-bundle case, all its objects are line bundles. Orlov's rationality conjecture. If XX has a full exceptional collection, or a full exceptional collection of line bundles, then XX is rational. Smooth projective rational surfaces are known to admit full exceptional collections of line bundles by blow-up formulas and augmentation. The converse stated here remains an open problem.
