As the maintainer mention in comment 6 [1] "Thanks for info. AFAIK KMS should correctly work without quirks, that's why the quirks are removed. I checked with my Intel graphics and everything is working OK without quirks. Thus this seems to be a bug related to your HW that should be fixed in kernel driver. Quirks from user space is not correct way how to handle it and also it can break things for other users -> I will reassign this to kernel." I agree with the maintainers perspective that things should be dealt with at the root of the problem not worked around them. However he forgets to reassign this to the kernel as he mentions he's going to do, Now if a maintainer responds that this is not my component but component y reporters should not hesitated to reassign the bug themselves to the component that the maintainer points out/suggests that is the correct one and many maintainers expect the reporter to do that since after all he will need to provide necessary feed back to the maintainers of the component that the report got assigned to. So basically the rule of thumb is if a maintainers says its not his component but that one and he does not reassigned the bug report to that component immediately then do it your self right away. I just reassigned the bug 624316 to xorg-x11-drv-intel so the intel maintainers actually get a chance to look at it. I'm not so sure we have any Intel ninja on board with us so.. ( we got David for radeon and Ben for nouveau ) Perhaps someone from FESCO can chime in what's the policy in situation like this bug ( regression deliberate being created to flush out bugs but not made sure the bugs that get reported get fixed at the proper level ). 1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=624316#c6 -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
