Description Hyunjun Ko 2016-08-08 03:16:47 UTC 
As I tested kmssink, i915_bpo is needed on my laptop.
Loaded modules about it on my laptop are as below:

$ lsmod | grep i915
i915_bpo             1261568  7
intel_ips              20480  1 i915_bpo
i2c_algo_bit           16384  1 i915_bpo
drm_kms_helper        147456  1 i915_bpo

Does this patch make sense? :)

Review of attachment 332909 [details] [review]:

i915_bpo is a backport of the i915 driver to the Ubuntu's kernel, so it is a transient driver that will be replaced with upstream one. If you upgrade your kernel, the normal i915 driver will be used.

Let's reject this since I don't expect this element will be used for many Ubuntu users with skylake.
