[Bug 1317865] Re: bug in the Ubuntu backport of BDW stuff for 14.04, where it tries to treat your hardware as Broadwell, and gets confused when your hardware behaves like Haswell.

 

akaWolf, as per http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4481&dl=1#bios an update to your BIOS is available (F9). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything?  If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

** Description changed:

- bug in the Ubuntu backport of BDW stuff for 14.04, where it tries to treat your hardware as Broadwell, and gets confused when your hardware behaves like Haswell.
- After blacklisted of i915_bdw, all works fine.
