Bug Description
CONFIG_
But it has it's downsides too, the most important being that a release might ship with a kernel that has limited driver support for the new hardware, causing issues like the installer booting to a blank screen or crashing halfway through. In these cases it's best to rely on the fallback gfx driver so that the system can be installed and also used with limited functionality, until a proper (and possibly a 3rd party) kernel can be installed.
This is also what upstream suggests for us to do. The setting can be overriden on kernel cmdline, so it allows testing said hw with i915.preliminar
