(In reply to Ivan from comment #1)

The updated Intel DDX is compatible with newer Intel GPUs, but the kernel drm
driver (i915kms) needs to be updated for those newer GPUs. This updated DDX can
be used on recent Intel GPUs in conjunction with Matt Macy's drm-next-4.7
branch, which has an updated i915 drm driver running atop LinuxKPI.

Updating the Intel driver from 2.21 to 2.99.x is required for compatibility
with newer versions of Xorg server. Version 2.21 of the Intel DDX would not be
working with xorg-server 1.17 had I not backported numerous changes from 2.99
previously. A newer snapshot will be needed for 1.19, but at the moment I'm
only concerned with getting in version 1.18 of xorg-server as the majority of
drivers have not yet had a release compatible with 1.19.
