Only one of the lines Intel I810 or Intel 8xx/9xx... needs to be selected. If you select the latter, Enable modesetting... is needed too. Recompile the kernel if necessary: Device Drivers ---> Graphics support ---> <*> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 ... support) ---> [CONFIG_DRM] <*> Intel 8xx/9xx/G3x/G4x/HD Graphics [CONFIG_DRM_I915] xorg-intel-driver Install Xorg Intel Driver by running the following commands: ./configure $XORG_CONFIG \ --enable-kms-only \ --enable-uxa \ --mandir=/usr/share/man && make This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make install && mv -v /usr/share/man/man4/intel-virtual-output.4 \ /usr/share/man/man1/intel-virtual-output.1 && sed -i '/\.TH/s/4/1/' /usr/share/man/man1/intel-virtual-output.1 The SandyBridge New Acceleration (SNA) code is intended to replace the old UXA (UMA Acceleration Architecture), but it is a large body of code and sometimes causes problems. In particular, when a system is built with gcc-5 and kernel headers from linux-4.0, trying to run this driver using SNA has been known to segfault on some of the supported chips. However, the version of the code in the version control system listed above has been tested successfully with both SNA and UXA capabilities. To work around this problem, as well as enabling support for UXA, it is necessary to force UXA to be used by creating a configuration file. If this problem applies to you, create the following file as the root user: cat >> /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf << "EOF" Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" EndSection EOF --enable-kms-only: This switch omits the UMS (User Mode Setting) code. --enable-uxa: This switch allows the old UXA code to be compiled in addition to the default SNA.
