Drivers for Intel Iris Xe graphics?

English Applications
#1

When checking current GPU:

user@localhost:~> glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL renderer string'
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa Intel(R) Xe Graphics (TGL GT2)
user@localhost:~>

Currently the only xf86-video packages installed are -fbdev and -vesa, but I wonder, are these drivers correct or enough for this relatively recent GPU?

Thanks.

Hi
I suspect it is, it uses the i915 kernel driver…

This is MicroOS though…


glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"

DriverS: key plural. It starts with a kernel device “module” named i915, without which all of X crumbles into sloth, though not the vttys. Next it’s hard to tell about, whether the iris dri module, or the display driver, which could be the modesetting default, the optional intel that hasn’t had an official release in nearly a decade, or the crude fbdev or vesa fallbacks. My vote is dri starts after a display driver loads without getting unloaded. Then it gets more complicated, for the “3D” and specialization stuff via a multitude of mesa bits, and/or llvm: dri, gallium, EGL1, GL1, OpenCL, d3d, glapi, va, vulkan. Where do Xorg or Wayland fit into this? Sheesh.
