I just uploaded 2:2.2.1-1ubuntu7 which syncs a bunch of the pipe A quirks from upstream. I notice that the bulk of these new quirks originated from the diligence of folks on this bug report who reported them upstream. Props to you guys. :-)

For those not familiar with quirks, each quirk applies to a very specific graphics card model. So while we've fixed the issue for the cards that people provided pci id's in this bug report, it is not unlikely that other folks with different card models will have the same issue. So what you'll need to do is:

  a. Test setting Option "ForceEnablePipeA" "true" in your Device section

  b. If that works, then yes you have this bug; go to (c). If not, file the issue as a new bug report.

  c. Get your 'Subsystem Vendor PCI ID'. The easiest way to get this is from lspci. For example, `lspci -vvnn | grep -A1 "VGA compat"`. Or just attach your Xorg.0.log or the full output from `lspci -vvnn`.

  d. File a new bug against xserver-xorg-video-intel with a title like "Need a Pipe-A quirk for <your video card PCI ID>". Include the info from (c). You might also want to reference this bug report in the comments.
