Hi Jean-Sébastien,

first of all, big thanks for your hard work here.

I tried to get my ValleyView (deviceID=0x0f31) running. It's hosted on a

	Lenovo G50-30

Out of the box, it doesn't work at all. Missing some stuff in "agp_i810.c" and
"i915_drv.c" as it seems. And the tunable "drm.i915.enable_unsupported=1" needs
to be set.

I've fiddled around a litte bit and imported some code from DragonFly BSD to
get the modules "agp" and "i915kms" loading and attaching at least. Please see
my attachment for what I've done.

It still doesn't work with X11 though I'm testing it remotely and have the
LCD panel flipped shut. It seems to be stuck in an endless loop. Perhaps,
in the blink of an eye, you see something that I've done wrong and has to
be corrected.

Nevertheless, I'm going to continue fiddling around. At least, it doesn't
panic... ;-)



TIA and regards,
Nils
