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

-Alpine Linux 3.13+: install mesa-dri-gallium package.  For older Intel Graphics ranging from Gen4 (GMA Graphics from 2006) to Gen 7 (Haswell Intel HD 4000+ graphics), a newer, more performant driver called "crocus" need to be enabled.  Enable "crocus" with "MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=crocus".
