If it is not buggy it should work with 4.4-STABLE. I just downloaded kernel sources of 4.3-RELEASE and used my kernel config to build 4.3-R kernel (with some lines commented out - that does not vaild for 4.3-RELEASE). It hangs :( It is enough to start X, switch to console, do vidcontrol VESA_800x600, do vidcontrol 80x25 and try to switch back to X. It is still in text mode but frozen.
