well, eventually means it could take halve a year until we got those patches
which makes our computers useless. I can also add that on my computer I cannot
enable vesa mode and i915.modeset=0 option makes the screen black, i.e. bricks
it. Reverting two patches for the ubuntu's 4.2.0.19 kernel like it was
described above doesn't help either. I tried to figure out how to apply your
patch onto 4.2.0.19 but it seems like training staff was moved out of the
intel_dp.c and some files are missing completely, so no luck.

Cloning the 1Gigabyte git repo like you suggest would also mean that I'd need
to compile drm driver code with the kernel version that in that repo too right?
Or I can copy the gpu/drm/i915 over to my kernel version and it'll work?
