Well, I'm really thinking about masking 2.2.0 in portage for the time
being, as it's creating more problems for users than it is solving.


@Intel developpers:

As the new maintainer for this driver in Gentoo, could I humbly ask you
guys try to push out more releases, even if they are alpha/beta and
clearly marked as such (2.x.9[0-9]) so that we can provide better feedback?

That would be greatly appreciated.

@Willi,

Thanks for that bug report. Do you know by any chance which commit in
xorg-server fixed this so I can try it on my laptop?

Cheers,
