Hi Ryan,
Thanks for the great suggestions. The pleasure is all mine, Fedora
has brought so many positive changes in my world of computing, If I
can do anything for the project, it's an honor and a privilege.
I have tried to incorporate your suggestions in the article and
resubmitted it for review. Please have a look and let me know if any
further refinement would be good.
Thanks again.

Hi Sumit!
First up, thanks for submitting your first post to the Fedora
Magazine. I have done a quick review of your post, and here are a
few ideas / suggestions from me. (other editors, feel free to pitch
in ideas too)
First up, i'd probably be a bit more direct and informative with
the title, instead of "Fedora 22 Intel Graphics Woes : Here's some
help"
maybe something like "Solution for graphics issues on some Intel
graphics chipsets in Fedora 22" (just a suggestion, feel free to
change and or edit too :) )
Secondly, i'd probably remove the majority of the first paragraph
and lead with the issue itself (your third paragraph) -- most
people get to the magazine via third party links, so starting with
the info they came for always works well. I'm thinking something like:
"""
Fedora 22 was [link to release annonce on fedora mag]released
recently[/link], and if you are using a Pre-Sandybridge era
Intel-based graphics chipset (For example, Intel 4 series
motherboards with G41 chipset and GMA X4500 graphics), chances are
that you might be facing graphics issues like shown in below
screenshot on Fedora 22.

"""
Then after the screenshot, have your brief description of the
problem, covering the points that fedora switched to a new accel
method that doesnt work so well with older chipsets.
Then put the solution. I found the bug for this issue
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1226743) which might
be worth mentioning. And there updated kernels
(kernel-4.0.5-300.fc22 and kernel-4.0.5-200.fc21) that fix this
issue is already in updates-testing, so it is probably a better
solution to recommend that people install the new package with the
fix from updates testing, or wait for the package to hit the proper
repos (rather than editing a config file that they may forget about
and cause them issues in the future.)

Just did a quick edit, and added a quick howto on getting the
packages from updates-testing (in case the reader doesnt know how
to), and added some emphasis on the note that the workaround is a
temp solution.
Does that look ok to you? feel free to revert if you don't agree :)
cheers,
ryanlerch
Looks good!
Can one of the other editors have a quick sanity check of the post this
morning (Monday morning USA time), and publish if it is ok sometime this
morning?
cheers,
ryanlerch
