Hello,

Haswell graphics (i915) still seems not to be in CURRENT.  There is a suggested test procedure on

https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics/Update%20i915%20GPU%20driver%20to%20Linux%203.8

but currently I'm to busy with other projects to test this.

At the moment CURRENT can't be used on laptops with i915 graphics, so it may not harm to integrate a buggy i915 support in CURRENT.  The advantage would be that more users would test the driver and could give response.  This may speed up the debugging/testing of this driver.
