Thank you very much for you analysis.

I don't understand exactly what you concluded here.

For future reference and for other people having issues with this chipset,
could you please elaborate a bit.


Are you saying kernel driver i915 is working fine and is the correct driver to
use for this chipset?

Are you saying that the intel xorg driver is the preferred xorg driver? In what
way is it crippled and why is that in a stock Kubuntu 17.04 ? 

Are you saying modesetting does not support this chipset but is still one of
the preferred two drivers to use? 

How to fix the crippled intel xorg driver?

Should the intel driver update utility be used?

I did ran into problems with backlight and wake from suspend with the intel
driver in the kernel version shipped with Kubuntu 17.04. But i could try
updating intel drivers with the intel driver update utility while using this
kernel 4.14.04 instead.

Thank you so much.

// Michael
