Dear coreboot folks,
As some of us still use Intel 945 devices, this is a heads-up, that the Linux Intel graphics driver was cleaned up in Linux 4.13 [1], whose first release candidate was published yesterday.
There was at least one regression [2], so I encourage everyone to test the Linux 4.13 release candidates to ensure there are no other regressions.
The Intel graphics driver in Linux has a good test suite (Intel GPU Tools, Piglit) [3][4], so this is also something coreboot users with Intel devices could do, who want to contribute but don’t want to code.
Kind regards,
Paul
