Your graphics device 46a6 is not properly supported by the driver in this kernel version

[pkrumm]

As it seems, the kernel that came with leap 15.4 has no proper support for the graphics device in my ASUS laptop.

How can I determine, which kernel version provides proper support for this graphics device and what is the most convenient way to upgrade to this kernel version?

You can add pbl --add-option ‘i915.force_probe=9a60’ --config to kernel command line.

Before the update to Leap 15.4 glxgears was running despite of glitches. Now it crashes: Jun 12 18:30:55 zbook kernel: glxgears[9774]: segfault at 24 ip 00007f7343b7dfe5 sp 00007ffee11f4ce0 error 6 in iris_dri.so[7f7342d5a000+16d2000] Jun 12 18:30:55 zbook kernel: Code: c3 ff 00 00 0f 87 8b 17 00 00 48 01 d0 48 85 d2 48 89 46 38 0f 84 7f 01 00 00 83 e9 01 48 89 d6 81 c9 00 00 09 78 48 83 c6 04 <89> 0a 0f 84 67 01 00 00 45 85 f6 74 68 41 8d 46 ff 4c 89 f9 48 8d

i915 extenal display not recognized

I expect it to not help. Last year at this time my Rocket Lake had the same problems with 15.3. Since my original post I noticed some other issues that may be symptoms of the same problem: (1) my display it configured to 1920x1080 and I seem to have no way to change it to 1920x1200 (which I believe is the actual resolution of my screen, at least 1920x1080 is slightly distorted). N/A as loaded drivers in inxi confirms this. A fallback driver sometimes can crudely handle 1920x1080, but not 19…

I have issued the command

pbl --add-option ‘i915.force_probe=9a60’ --config

in a terminal with root privileges (su), rebooted the laptop but did not notice any differences. The login screen still looks ugly (symbols are too big, text in the bottom line is overlapping), the resolution does not match with the display (the aspect ratio is wrong, pictures look ugly, circles are displayed as ellipses).

When booting the live image with the 6.1 kernel, everything is displayed much smaller. However, this is no proof that the kernel properly supports the graphics device 46a6.

So is there a kernel version that is known to properly support the 46a6 graphics device, at least according to the documentation?

On the contrary, that it is different from your 15.4 experience overwhelmingly suggests the live image with 6.1 is working as expected, unlike 15.4.

15.5 is now beta. You may wish to try it instead of trying to upgrade kernel and Xorg in 15.4, or switching to Tumbleweed. By installing the beta, upgrading with zypper up once 15.5 is released in May or June will make your installation 15.5 the release version with no special action required.

So is there a kernel version that is known to properly support the 46a6 graphics device…

A definitive answer might come from asking on the openSUSE kernel-bugs mailing list. I have to believe if it isn’t already in the 15.5 beta kernel, it will be by the time 15.5 is final.
