Hi everyone,

(I'm not sure if this the right place to report bugs/issues but I have
searched through the internet and this is the only place I can find to
reach beignet developers..... Please feel free to tell me what is the
right place for bug report if it is not here.)

I have recently got a Dell Precision M3800 laptop which comes with a
Intel i7-4702HQ CPU and a NVIDIA Quadro K1100M GPU. I have no major
problems using the graphic cards with the opensource (for both cards)
or close source (for the NVIDIA card). However, when I want to use
OpenCL on the intel card with beignet it doesn't work.

The issue is, beignet can create OpenCL context without any problems
(and it also shows the correct device name...) but as long as I ask it
to calculate anything, it freezes the window manager (kwin 4.11.9 on
KDE 4.13 using OpenGL 2.0) for a few seconds and only the cursor is
moving. In addition, it sometimes (if not always) fails to run the
kernels and no result is returned.

Is this card supported or am I missing anything? It will be really
nice if I can get it working and I can provide any
information/collaboration in order to solve the problem if necessary.
