Perhaps I have missed something, but intel(4) is the xorg driver (which is the slow one identified by the helpful people on the list). It is indeed a bit confusing to me at least that inteldrm(4) points to the intel(4) list of hardware, which contains hardware that is not yet suppported by the inteldrm(4) driver (intel has been very helpful from what I have read with graphics development), including the very hardware the OP was asking about. I suspect this is an oversight due to a developer updating intel(4) to support this hardware and not remembering/being aware that that list is also cited by inteldrm(4). I assume the developers would respond that someone should shutup and add a hardware section to the manpage for inteldrm(4), but at this point I am just learning to use the system and it is beyond me.
