Which intel driver are you using?
xserver-xorg-video-intel
or xserver-xorg-video-intel-modesetting from experimental?
Which version is it?
Iirc the modesetting changes made hacks like 915resolution obsolete but
I haven't heard yet, that it also makes the quirks obsolete.
Can you give me an authorative source that I can safely remove this
quirks for D410 (Changelog entry, mailing list discussion etc). I want
to avoid breakage for people who e.g. use older versions of the driver.

Cheers,
Michael
