    Phoronix: Missing Skylake HD/Iris Graphics Devices Get Added To Mesa DRM

    It turns out that Skylake's HD Graphics 510, HD Graphics 535, Iris Graphics 550, and Iris Graphics P555 were missing their open-source driver support from an important piece of the Linux graphics stack...

      Speaking of missing intel graphics drivers. What about the "Intel Iris Pro graphics 580"? It's going going to be released around May 12th (about 2 weeks from now), no hint of linux drivers that I've heard. It would be a real shame if it's not supported. Sounds like a pretty nice combination of CPU and GPU performance for 45 watts.

          This can be summarized like such:

          1. Nobody at Intel cared enough what cards actually run with whatever driver.
          2. Nobody except this poor sod actually cared enough in their userbase of sold chipsets...

            Which is really weird, because for software development an intel CPU with no discrete GPU is an awesome solution. You'd think someone at IBM, HP or the likes would have noticed this till now. Not to mention Michael who tests every beta under the Sun.

              The drivers probably work as soon as you add the PCI IDs everywhere, but Intel really screwed up with Skylake.

                Indeed. Slightly amusing.
                Almost like e1000 or e1000e would go MIA in the latest kernel.

                  I heard Intel isn't selling that well lately. Might be related.

                    I think intel should reduce costs and ditch their IGP, add more cores on layers, make their transistors 3d and make it liquid cooled. Like some of IBMs research has done. The processors only sell for desktops and most desktops that require processing power have a dedicated graphics card. They could keep a line with IGPs for budget computers tablets or laptops. If they do this then there would actually be a reason to upgrade again because of how much more efficient and cost effective that would be.
