      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.

        [screenshot]

        """

        
        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

        
    Just did a quick edit, and added a quick howto on getting the
    packages from updates-testing (in case the reader doesnt know how
    to), and added some emphasis on the note that the workaround is a
    temp solution.

    
    Does that look ok to you? feel free to revert if you don't agree :)

    
    cheers,

    ryanlerch
