They are all for Intel HD Graphics for Kabylake (kbl). See https://01.org/linuxgraphics/intel-linux-graphics-firmwares for other firmware products. I initially had the following error prior installing any firmware blobs: Apr 22 10:16:23 localhost kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: Direct firmware load for i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_01.bin failed with error -2 Apr 22 10:16:23 localhost kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: Failed to load DMC firmware [https://01.org/linuxgraphics/intel-linux-graphics-firmwares], disabling runtime power management. I figured I should install all 3 available firmware blobs just in case. Only the DMC loads, the other two are not being loaded. I can also see the following: Apr 26 18:25:23 jupiter kernel: [drm] GuC firmware load skipped Which I read somewhere that it might be disabled on purpose by the developers. > Whilst trying to find out about those I found a post on debian > saying that the xorg server's modesetting driver is preferred for > intel video except for very old chips - of course, debian probably > aren't using a recent git version of it, but that might explain why > there have be no releases. > I cannot really comment on Xorg as I no longer install the full package. i.e. I use Wayland (Gnome) which includes Xwayland. > ĸen > -- > Error: ( : 1) not enough arguments > > Don't you just love Tiny scheme ?
