I don't think it's important enough to hold off at this point. We have a viable workaround for now, imho we should get more people running with modesetting to give us more experience with it. > And does this only affect Haswell or are others also affected? I don't have much of a range of hardware to test with, but I've just tried on an X201 (i7-620M - Ironlake), which is now using the modesetting driver by default too, and doesn't have a problem with vncviewer.
