Modesetting is a garbage for gaming laptops. What if my Gpu or dGpu power is not enough for one game and i must use a resolution lower than 1080p, like 720p for example? The 720p resolution is not there OMG!!!

I wrote dGpu (8850m) with Prime, still all resolutions (native or custom) come from the iGpu.
