Installation

Firmware

Graphics

Systems using Skylake, Broxton, or newer Intel graphics will need additional firmware from the sys-kernel/linux-firmware package:

root #emerge --ask sys-kernel/linux-firmware

Alternatively, the blobs can be directly downloaded from the Linux repository.

DMC firmware

Display Microcontroller firmware provides support for advanced graphics low-power idle states.

GuC/HuC firmware

Graphics µController firmware offloads functions from the host driver. HEVC/H.265 µController firmware improves hardware acceleration of media decoding.
