Thank you very much for offering your help! I will send some instructions to get you started in a separate thread. There is no specific criteria to contribute beside probably owning the relevant hardware :) The only thing I ask is that contributors communicate on what they are doing so people don't do the same thing in parallel. > Does this mean I can't even get console working on Skylake?

I believe it will keep support for the VGA "API". You'll see the console and you can use xf86-video-vesa or xf86-video-scfb to start an X server. Linux has Skylake support, though I don't know how stable it is. This landed in 4.3 I think (I could be wrong). So, let's write some instructions now. --=20 Jean-S=E9bastien P=E9dron --AuxVihNQsL3S3kBwTicr5oCu1jgnL3qEk Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJWxtB+XxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXQ2NzA4N0ZEMUFFQUUwRTEyREJDNkE2RjAz OUU5OTc2MUE1RkQ5NENDAAoJEDnpl2Gl/ZTMnTEQAIZH6A+I5jH1hRmDluMapA9u Euc2tb4oKcO6p6y910D2idUga69p7besWyCu/ANvCtDEi7oooMacHLz9f9uk5xJI H5msAw97I6YAFco4hJ0kdfzFC7eZaCfILDZ8B4BDWIkVd3BppvBkT8PojNwBwWMt yBnVGMQidWlzskLtuhAwpmYMaqdvs0Oi8SlhTWLWnPomV+MOrTDTIET9CpS6q2n6 NfCfYx84+uX7/eI8N06kjuHPEMq0C+7TSAF6yBuj3SBeLeO99t/hmUv4XbozVKKb 7FOR7xGW/dBz77s0dMV4+jrJGo1KPVzw9PN9n7qlXCZwy20hSzEu2M7ysajbYqWV 7ydjLm1jqXkrliqSjmgjJRqt8uFuNp1XPFgJep2vgukGZhjhI2khAZMNPz/YhKP5 MQcAL/KlpyL/bqc6plrcudkecSEXPfeLoK5DbFk3MIOR8ZeNLHIKQeItlj6Q7la+ EtKcZEBpZvcyXNVzeY/Hiuheba0ayX6lhl/AddTYRfQG13XLbcEqQ8PL1CZhqxbX 0bt+FolqPT0gT4Sk5pnwQTSQTXp1N1gbsJyWOI++3hQVCSEhwJhw4i3Qi8LTEpo/ IZIpSAeeoTBPp2p3Pu1qDOYnTkLEKvtnIiUjnSPLQhoePZJ3dzyBj5zQEwbJGm/t NULWWY8gx7yPWh7QsGgX =6bQ0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --AuxVihNQsL3S3kBwTicr5oCu1jgnL3qEk--
