Testing the new i915 driver (rev. 3820047)

[Robert Z]

Hi Jean

New patches dont work on a i7-4702HQ with a HIDPI display. I have attached
my logs. This is a dell laptop.

i7-4771 is working with lkdload i915kms. But when I start Gnome3 it crashes.
Nvidia drivers with gnome3 work though. This could be a configuration issue.


Thank you
Rob
