Pending Post Review: Fedora 22 Intel Graphics Woes : Here's some help

[Sumit Bhardwaj]

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for the great suggestions. The pleasure is all mine, Fedora has 
brought so many positive changes in my world of computing, If I can do 
anything for the project, it's an honor and a privilege.

I have tried to incorporate your suggestions in the article and 
resubmitted it for review. Please have a look and let me know if any 
further refinement would be good.

Thanks again.

Regards,
Sumit Bhardwaj
