I had good response on Freenode IRC at #intel-gfx when asking about my
details. Here's how I got the relevant info (device is "Haswell-ULT
Integrated Graphics Controller" in a new Core i3):
# pciconf -l pci0:0:2:0 | grep vgapci0
vgapci0 at pci0:0:2:0: class=0x030000 card=0x20548086 chip=0x0a168086
rev=0x09 hdr=0x00
bwidawks on #intel-gfx gave me http://sprunge.us/DNbF
From chip=... I extracted 0a16
$ curl http://sprunge.us/DNbF | grep -i 0a16
CHIPSET(0x0A16, hsw_gt2, "Intel(R) Haswell Mobile")
Riastradh and bwidawks said that meant the required driver support is
for GT2, which is not listed at intel(4x) right now, implying there is
not yet support for it. I'm therefore using the vesa driver.
HTH,
Greg.
