Hi Ryan,

Thanks for the great suggestions. The pleasure is all mine, Fedora has brought so many positive changes in my world of computing, If I can do anything for the project, it's an honor and a privilege.

I have tried to incorporate your suggestions in the article and resubmitted it for review. Please have a look and let me know if any further refinement would be good.

Thanks again.
Regards,
Sumit Bhardwaj

Hi Sumit!

First up, thanks for submitting your first post to the Fedora Magazine. I have done a quick review of your post, and here are a few ideas / suggestions from me. (other editors, feel free to pitch in ideas too)

First up, i'd probably be a bit more direct and informative with the title, instead of  "Fedora 22 Intel Graphics Woes : Here's some help"
maybe something like "Solution for graphics issues on some Intel graphics chipsets in Fedora 22" (just a suggestion, feel free to change and or edit too :) )

Secondly, i'd probably remove the majority of the first paragraph and lead with the issue itself (your third paragraph) -- most people get to the magazine via third party links, so starting with the info they came for always works well. I'm thinking something like:
"""
Fedora 22 was [link to release annonce on fedora mag]released recently[/link], and if you are using a Pre-Sandybridge era Intel-based graphics chipset (For example, Intel 4 series motherboards with G41 chipset and GMA X4500 graphics), chances are that you might be facing graphics issues like shown in below screenshot on Fedora 22.

"""

Then after the screenshot, have your brief description of the problem, covering the points that fedora switched to a new accel method that doesnt work so well with older chipsets.

Then put the solution. I found the bug for this issue (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1226743) which might be worth mentioning. And there updated kernels (kernel-4.0.5-300.fc22 and kernel-4.0.5-200.fc21) that fix this issue is already in updates-testing, so it is probably a better solution to recommend that people install the new package with the fix from updates testing, or wait for the package to hit the proper repos (rather than editing a config file that they may forget about and cause them issues in the future.)

cheers,
ryanlerch
