Hello!

I installed Mageia9 on a computer with an Intel®Alder Lake i3-1215U processor. The Хorg video driver was installed automatically. How to correctly install the Intel graphics driver?
Do I need to select "i810 and later" in DrakХ?

What works for what chip i dont know, and our wiki page do not have much on Intel
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Setup_the_gr ... rver#Intel

Try.

If it fail totally, see

Why do you think you need to install a driver, do you not have graphical output or what's the issue ?

Thank you! Your advice was useful

Initially, there were some problems with drawing the image on the desktop. Sometimes the picture would "freeze" for a few seconds. I tried to install the "i810" driver, but the desktop disappeared and normal work with programs was impossible (menu items do not open, etc.).
I turned the Xorg (modesettings) driver back on and also installed the "vaapi-driver-intel-media". It seems that the image rendering is OK so far. I'll see how it works further.
To what extent does this Xorg-driver use the functionality of the video card (acceleration functions, 3D, etc.)?

Maybe you should have started the thread with that bit of information. How did you try to install the i810 driver ?

The modesetting driver is mostly for old Intel graphics chip. x11-driver-video-intel is for newer cards, but seems to cause issues with newer cards.
Have a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Intel_ ... stallation to distinguish between the different drivers,
even though the package names do not directly translate to Mageia. According to that the mesa stack should provide 3D acceleration.

I've not used the Intel drivers for anything that requires acceleration as I have a dedicated GPU, maybe someone else could comment on that.

I tried to install the i810 driver via МСС/Graphical Configuration.

On the wiki.archlinux.org page it says the following: "Some (Debian & Ubuntu, Fedora, KDE, Mozilla) recommend not installing the xf86-video-intel driver, and instead falling back on the modesetting driver. However, the modesetting driver can cause problems such as screen tearing and mouse jittering on XFCE, artifacts when switching virtual desktops in Chromium, and vsync jitter/video stutter in mpv.
The xf86-video-intel driver does not have proper support for Gen 11 and newer hardware, causing lack of acceleration and rendering issues that make Plasma Desktop almost unusable."
As far as I understand, "xf86-video-intel" is the "x11-driver-video-intel" in the Mageia repository. It turns out that I have no choice but to use the modesetting driver.
I hope that support for new generation Intel graphics should appear in Mageia 10 with a new kernel and Intel Xе driver!

kernel-stable-desktop-6.12.41 is in the backports_testing repo for Mageia 9.

You could try that and see if there is any improvement.

Thank you! Perhaps I'll try it sometime in my spare time.

Maybe someone will find my information useful:
