kmssink: add an intel driver i915_bpo
Last modified: 2016-08-08 16:46:24 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 drm 360448 8 i915_bpo,drm_kms_helper video 40960 3 i915_bpo,acer_wmi,thinkpad_acpi $
Created attachment 332909 [details] [review] kmssink: add an intel driver 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.
