Am I correct that even with all the improvements, there are still Intel video systems that aren't supported? On a Dell Latitude 7420, dmesg shows:
[ 1.051227] pchb0 at pci0 dev 0 function 0: Intel Tiger Lake (UP3 4Core) Host (rev. 0x01) [ 1.051227] i915drmkms: preliminary hardware support disabled [ 1.051227] genfb0 at pci0 dev 2 function 0: Intel UHD Graphics (GT2, 96/80 EU) (rev. 0x01) [ 1.051227] genfb0: framebuffer at 0x4000000000, size 1920x1080, depth 32, stride 7680 [ 1.051227] genfb0: shadow framebuffer enabled, size 8100 KB [ 1.051227] wsdisplay0 at genfb0 kbdmux 1: console (default, vt100 emulation), using wskbd0 [ 1.051227] wsmux1: connecting to wsdisplay0 [ 1.051227] drm at genfb0 not configured and X is only working with wsfb. I've been intending to look into this myself, but $DAYJOB keeps getting in the way. (I even downloaded about 9000 pages of Intel documentation as a start.) On the other hand, if there's something I'm doing wrong and am just missing the boat, I'd love to know.
