Revision as of 15:26, 21 July 2022

Install the following packages as needed:

mesa-dri-gallium: necessary Mesa drivers for all Intel Graphics
libva-intel-driver: VAAPI drivers, for hardware accelerated video encoding and decoding

Note

For all Intel Graphics up to Haswell, the user must manually select crocus Mesa driver in order to let the graphics work properly:

export MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=crocus

For newer Intel Graphics, if automatic driver selection does not work and bugs such as missing mouse cursor under Sway occur (no hardware graphics acceleration), the user can manually select iris driver:

export MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=iris

-Modern Intel GPUs should work out of the box on Alpine Linux 3.13+ using the kernel i915 driver and mesa i915 or i965 driver. When running on 3.12 or before, nomodeset must be removed from the [[Kernel parameters]].
