Great. Maybe that plan could be delayed until this issue is resolved,
then?

I don't know. It works with other graphics drivers.

It would be great if somebody would fix this. I just want to give a
heads-up that we are not going to delay architectural improvements in
WebKit for just DRI3 plus modesetting driver, and that this is going to
render lots of apps totally unusable (gnome-initial-setup, gnome-
online-accounts, Evolution, etc.) possibly in the F25/F26 timeframe if
this isn't resolved.
