4 days? For me it looks more like 2 months and 4 days. And 12th of April was a Monday...

Does Intel sell operating systems? Are you offering me to fix this for money?

The initial bug report has been created more than half a year ago. What do you think is an adequate time for a hardware vendor to fix a driver bug? I've bought a mainboard with Intel graphic because I wanted to have good Linux support. So now I'm at least irritated that such a basic function doesn't work properly.

I know that it is at least difficult to fix this bug. Therefore I've proposed that the developer(s) at Intel should get a mainboard from stock instead of trying to solve such complicated things remotely.

May I ask how you are related to this bug, because I have never seen you contributing anything to this topic before.
