Yes! This makes X work for me too.  I had gone down the rabbit hole of
trying to get the drmkms to apply the workarounds for gen 8 to my gen 7
GPU in the hope that it would work - it did once but never again.  I
still have those work arounds applied, there are only a couple that are
reported to not stick but I haven't noticed any issues yet.  Suspend and
resume works.

Oddly, the backlight comes up at minimum brightness on resume but
intel_backlight from pkgsrc sorts that.

I can clean up the debug rubbish and send a diff if you are interested
to try to see if that fixes the artifacts you are seeing.
