[SOLVED] Correct driver used for Intel Skylake GT2 HD Graphics 520

Post by plittlefield » Wed Jan 18, 2023 10:12 am

I have noticed tearing and graphics glitches on my Dell XPS from time to time (mostly when on battery) but thought I would check to see if I am using the correct X driver for my video chip onboard.

Graphics: Device-1: Intel Skylake GT2 [HD Graphics 520] driver: i915 v: kernel Display: server: X.Org 1.20.13 driver: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa tty: N/A 

So, not sure what I am using here?

System: Host: paully-laptop Kernel: 5.19.17-051917-generic x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: Xfce 4.16.0 Distro: Linux Mint 20.3 Una Machine: Type: Laptop System: Dell product: XPS 13 9350 v: N/A serial: 878KJC2 Mobo: Dell model: 07TYC2 v: A01 serial: /878KJC2/CN129636780101/ UEFI [Legacy]: Dell v: 1.13.0 date: 02/10/2020

Copy/paste the complete text output of inxi -Fxxxrz run in the terminal.

Intel drivers are in the kernel, there aren’t other ones.

Your system is using the correct modesetting display driver which is the most up-to-date driver for Intel graphics.

However, I do not know what kernel you are using. The LTS kernel for LM21 versions is 5.15 and not a mainline kernel (which is what it appears you are using).

System:
Host: paully-laptop Kernel: 5.19.17-051917 -generic x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: Xfce 4.16.0 Distro: Linux Mint 20.3 Una
Machine: Type: Laptop System: Dell product: XPS 13 9350 v: N/A serial: 878KJC2
Mobo: Dell model: 07TYC2 v: A01 serial: /878KJC2/CN129636780101/ UEFI [Legacy]: Dell v: 1.13.0 date: 02/10/2020

If you switch back to a Canonical-maintained kernel, the issues you are noticing may clear.

Here is the output of that command for you.

Performance with Intel skylake 6500U with integrated graphics HD 520

I know this question might seem too naive but I’ve been looking quite a lot and didn’t find any definitive answer. Is this hardware supported «fully» By linux (ubuntu gnome) ? I ask because everything seem so sluggish on my laptop. Scrolling webpages, scrolling pdf document are sluggish with a lot of lag, resizing windows is painfully slow, and the experience overall is not really good. In comparison windows feels nice, but I prefer the linux environment. Here is a list of things I tried :

• Upgrade to ubuntu 16.02 ( was running 15.10 )
• Installed intel graphics software, ( supposed to update all drivers, the release of this software is pretty recent 16 feb 2016 )
• Installed the proprietary intel cpu driver

I am really attached to the ubuntu gnome environment but I don’t recall having any of this problem before, so my guess is that the hardware is not fully supported at the moment ? I have a few weeks to decide if I want to keep the laptop and I want to be sure to nail the origin of the problem before returning it to regret in the future.

Note : I am wondering if changing the backend to compiz instead of metacity would make things better ( I highly doubt it ).

Same here with ASUSPRO B8430UA and Ubuntu GNOME 16.04.1 LTS. In addition to clearly unaccelerated page scrolling and window resizing, VLC with default settings was unusable until i figured out to set video output to GLX. There are at least 2 bug reports about VLC running on HD 520, here is mine .

I’d like to share my experience with a similar issue.

I recently bought a laptop with the same processor and I was experiencing problems with graphics. I necessarily have to work with Ubuntu 14.04 but it was not recognizing my laptop’s hardware (skylake not supported). I had to install manually kernel 4.4.6 so everything worked properly, however I noticed compiz was taking more than 60% cpu. glxgears showed errors like: «i965_dri.so does not support the 0x1916 PCI ID» «libGL error: pci id for fd 4: 8086:1916, driver (null)», etc.. and framerates above 300.

The reason was the GPU drivers were not properly updated so the CPU has to do the job in its place. To solve it I ran the following commands:

sudo apt-get install —install-recommends linux-generic-lts-wily xserver-xorg-core-lts-wily xserver-xorg-lts-wily xserver-xorg-video-all-lts-wily xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-wily libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-wily

which are installed along with kernel 4.2.

After reboot with my working kernel 4.4.6 glxgears shows proper framerates (around 60 FPS) and compiz CPU consumption is normal now.

I’m a newbie here but I’m happy to have managed to solve this problem, I hope this is also useful for others.

Early in March, Intel –specifically the Intel Open Source Technology Centre– released a graphical installer providing Linux users easily install the latest graphics drivers for your Intel graphics hardware.

the Intel core kernel driver

Mesa 3D rendering library, responsible for 3D rendering, OpenGL compatibility, GLES, etc.

the 2D renderer for the X Window stack (xf86-video-intel), also known as DDX.

libdrm –the «Direct Rendering Manager» library, for communication between user applications and the kernel

the Cairo graphics library, for 2D rendering and acceleration

vaapi-driver-intel –the APIs for hardware-accelerated video rendering, processing and output

initial support for Wayland

sudo rpm —import RPM-GPG-KEY-ilhttp://goo.gl/u8P6ME g-2

sudo yum/dnf install intel-linux-graphics-installer-1.4.0-23.intel20154.i686.rpm

sudo yum/dnf install intel-linux-graphics-installer-1.4.0-23.intel20154.x86_64.rpm

Once installed, you can find the Intel Linux Graphics Installer, Just look for their logo, or typing Intel in gnome-shell search or using the command line:
