Hi Fred,
The artful repository is git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-
artful.git
It contains 4417ec7a7c8d ("UBUNTU: SAUCE: PCI: Support hibmc VGA cards
behind a misbehaving HiSilicon bridge")
This was an earlier version of those patches and should allow xorg
autoconfiguration to work.
Regards,
Daniel
