Title:
Include support for Broadwell graphics hardware
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “linux” source package in Trusty:
In Progress
Bug description:
We need to support Broadwell (BDW) graphics in trusty, but some
components are not fresh enough to provide a satisfactory user
experience, most notably the 3.13 kernel and mesa 10.1.
For the kernel the plan is to provide a separate driver module
(i915_bdw) like for Haswell in quantal. The i915 driver in 3.13 is
buggy and lacking features for BDW, so pulling the driver from current
drm-intel-next branch would provide what'll end up in 3.15. The i915
drivers will be modified so that only i915_bdw loads on BDW machines,
and only there. The driver will get further updates along the way, and
possibly also rebased to a later kernel release.
