--- Comment #11 from Tom Wylegala <Tom.Wylegala at HP.com> ---
We have successful execution on our platform based on the kernel built from
drm-intel/drm-intel-nightly branch, so we are satisfied that there is proper
upstream support for the i915.  In particular, it appears that the following
patch is the one that remedies the problem we experienced:

    drm/i915: Deprecated UMS support

We have commenced an activity to back-port that patch onto the older Red Hat
distribution that we are trying to enable.  If there is someone with more
intimate knowledge of the drm/i915 driver who can suggest other earlier patches
that are needed in addition to the one cited, we would be happy to have that
information.  Otherwise, we can consider the issue raised in this Bugzilla to
be closed.
