[08:16] <alkisg> I have Ubuntu 12.04 with the trusty kernel/xorg, i.e. 3.13/ 2:1.15.1-0ubuntu2~precise5
[08:16] <alkisg> I have a very new intel graphics card: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:1912] (rev 06)
[08:17] <alkisg> 1912 does not appear in modules.pcidep of 3.13, but it appears in e.g. 4+ kernels
[08:17] <alkisg> I only want to be able to use 1024x768 instead of 640x480. But adding that mode in xorg.conf doesn't appear to work. Can I use vesa instead?
[08:17] <alkisg> ...and, how? :)
[09:06] <alkisg> Hehe, I managed to get linux-image-4.4.0-57-generic from trusty installed to precise, after also installing kmod from wheezy-backports... :D
[09:08] <alkisg> Just for the logs, here's the list I used:
[09:08] <alkisg> http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-lts-xenial/linux-image-4.4.0-57-generic_4.4.0-57.78~14.04.1_i386.deb
[09:08] <alkisg> http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/k/kmod/kmod_9-3_i386.deb
[09:08] <alkisg> http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/k/kmod/module-init-tools_15-0ubuntu6_all.deb
[09:08] <alkisg> http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/k/kmod/libkmod2_9-3_i386.deb
[09:48] <tjaalton> alkisg: trusty with lts-vivid stack is first that supports skylake
[09:48] <tjaalton> anything older and you're on your own
[10:21] <tjaalton> 1204 is eol in 5mo
[10:21] <tjaalton> fyi
[10:26] <alkisg> Yeah we really need to fix the "can't type in greek" issue past 12.04 so that we can move on... :)
[10:26] <alkisg> Thank you tjaalton!
