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</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
