   I don't know other than redhat is pushing them.  How special is that?

   Today I see 5.8.9 and it still isn't up to speed as far as the machine I am   
   currently playing with is concerned.  It's default kernel is still kv-5.4.x   
   and is likely to sit there for awhile longer.

    BP> go back to VGA fb0 then   
      
   No.   
      
   Also as I suspected the astdrmfb works excellent on kv-5.8.8 and still give me   
   8 penguins on bootup so if anything I'd bo back to using that as my primary   
   machine.  However I am content to wait until the i915 kernel gurus catch up.    
   They usually do ... eventually.  In the meantime I'll keep doing what I've   
   always been doing.  How about you?
