Hi,
kallisti5 recenty merged his rework of the intel_extreme driver. While
it supposedly has a cleaner architecture (I didn't dig in the code yet),
it seems the support for all recent devices (sandy bridge and above) was
broken.
My main laptop is now stuck in 1024x768 VESA, whereas it was working
well with the driver before the changes (native resolution and clone
display on VGA port).
Are there short-term plans to re-enable support for those devices? If
not, I think it would be better to revert the merge, until the driver
functionality is restored.
<rant>
This is even more annoying knowing that I spent time testing the driver
before it was merged, and reported about these issues. I did not expect
the result would be "let's disable the driver for these devices".
Please never merge code with known regressions to the trunk. We don't
have any "stable" branch and finding your system randomly broken by
updates is not good.
