Comment (by kallisti5):

 You didn't provide much info here... however it is expected behavior.
 Anything SandyBridge or later was flagged as experimental in the driver.
 A major rewrite is underway to better support Ivy Bridge+ and later cards
 have some bugs still. A few machines Ivy Bridge or later worked as a
 fluke. (most didn't work however)  Thus I flagged SandyBridge or later
 experimental to force usage of VESA (which likely works)

 For now,  to activate these cards for testing you need to re-enable them
 in the driver sources and recompile. If you have any Sandy Bridge systems,
 testing help would be appreciated!
