- Choose this option if you have prerelease Intel hardware and want the
- i915 driver to support it by default. You can enable such support at
- runtime with the module option i915.preliminary_hw_support=1; this
- option changes the default for that module option.
+ Choose this option if you have new Intel hardware and want to enable
+ the alpha quality i915 driver support for the hardware in this kernel
+ version. You can also enable the support at runtime using the module
+ parameter i915.alpha_support=1; this option changes the default for
+ that module parameter.
+
+ It is recommended to upgrade to a kernel version with proper support
+ as soon as it is available. Generally fixes for platforms with alpha
+ support are not backported to older kernels.
If in doubt, say "N".
