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,

Hi Sumit!
First up, thanks for submitting your first post to the
Fedora Magazine. I have done a quick review of your post,
and here are a few ideas / suggestions from me. (other
editors, feel free to pitch in ideas too)
First up, i'd probably be a bit more direct and informative
with the title, instead of "Fedora 22 Intel Graphics Woes :
Here's some help"
maybe something like "Solution for graphics issues on some
Intel graphics chipsets in Fedora 22" (just a suggestion,
feel free to change and or edit too :) )
Secondly, i'd probably remove the majority of the first
paragraph and lead with the issue itself (your third
paragraph) -- most people get to the magazine via third
party links, so starting with the info they came for always
works well. I'm thinking something like:
"""
Fedora 22 was [link to release annonce on fedora
mag]released recently[/link], and if you are using a
Pre-Sandybridge era Intel-based graphics chipset (For
example, Intel 4 series motherboards with G41 chipset and
GMA X4500 graphics), chances are that you might be facing
graphics issues like shown in below screenshot on Fedora 22.

"""
Then after the screenshot, have your brief description of
the problem, covering the points that fedora switched to a
new accel method that doesnt work so well with older
chipsets.
Then put the solution. I found the bug for this issue (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1226743)
which might be worth mentioning. And there updated kernels
(kernel-4.0.5-300.fc22 and kernel-4.0.5-200.fc21) that fix
this issue is already in updates-testing, so it is probably
a better solution to recommend that people install the new
package with the fix from updates testing, or wait for the
package to hit the proper repos (rather than editing a
config file that they may forget about and cause them issues
in the future.)

Just did a quick edit, and added a quick howto on getting the
packages from updates-testing (in case the reader doesnt know
how to), and added some emphasis on the note that the workaround
is a temp solution.
Does that look ok to you? feel free to revert if you don't agree
:)
cheers,

Looks good!
