If you experience issues with default SNA (e.g. You may need to indicate Option "AccelMethod" when creating a configuration file, the classical options are UXA, SNA (default) and BLT. Note: You might need to add more device sections than the one listed above. Enabling GuC/HuC firmware loading can cause issues on some systems disable it if you experience freezing (for example, after resuming from hibernation). CBR rate control on SKL low-power encoding mode) may require the use of an updated GPU firmware, which is loaded by default only on Gen 11+ hardware since Linux 5.4. On supported Skylake and newer processors, some video features (e.g.
Refer to Kernel mode setting#Early KMS start for instructions on how to enable KMS as soon as possible at the boot process. Kernel mode setting (KMS) is supported by Intel chipsets that use the i915 DRM driver and is mandatory and enabled by default.
The Intel kernel module should load fine automatically on system boot. However, the modesetting driver can cause problems such as Chromium Issue 370022 and vsync jitter/video stutter in mpv. See, , Xorg#Installation, and modesetting(4). Note: Some ( Debian & Ubuntu, Fedora, KDE) recommend not installing the xf86-video-intel driver, and instead falling back on the modesetting driver for Gen4 and newer GPUs (GMA 3000 from 2006 and newer).
For Vulkan support ( Ivy Bridge and newer), install the vulkan-intel package.For the DDX driver (which provides 2D acceleration in Xorg), install the xf86-video-intel package.For 32-bit application support, also install the lib32-mesa package from the multilib repository.Install the mesa package, which provides the DRI driver for 3D acceleration. 6.17 No sound through HDMI on a Haswell CPU.6.16 Weathered colors (color range problems).6.15 KMS Issue: console is limited to small area.
