Hi misc@,

First off, I wanted to thank tedu and everyone else who worked hard on
getting Skylake DRM support into -current.  I was really excited to
read about that in Ted's post and thought I'd try it out on my
Thinkpad X1 Carbon (4th generation) laptop.

I renamed my /etc/x11.conf file to get it out of the way and so far my
experience has been:

1.  GDM works great under it
2.  Lumina 1.2.1 and 1.3.1 work great under it
3.  xfce4 worked great under it for me

Where I ran into trouble was in trying to run our port of Gnome3.  I
would get a black screen with a functional mouse pointer on it, then
after like 30 seconds it would crash.

I'm wondering if this is known and, if not, what debugging info I
could gather to help out the effort?  I know that Gnome3 requires
accelerated graphics and I also am aware that it's days are likely
numbered on non-Linux based systems but I thought if I could gather
some info that would help folks out who were working on it, I'd be
more than happy to do so.

Thanks again to tedu and everyone else who put in the effort to get us
working on this architecture.  I can't imagine it was easy!

Thanks,
Bryan
