Completing my previous message with the requested information. Here is
the GPU info as given by lspci:

I am running Fedora 20 on this laptop. From lshw output:

So that I understand, should I file a bug against dmesg mentioning the
Intel GPU listed above? And what other information do you need from me
regarding the MST point above? I'm happy to provide whatever I can.
Thanks again!
