Hello
I have a question because next September I have to go back to school with a new computer, I am worried because I am afraid that the equipment is too new and not supported by gentoo, do you know who the card is graphics: Intel Iris Xe Graphics supported? |

6.9.x is testing for Gentoo (because we use only LTS kernels for stable series) ... kernel developer say it is stable.
You can install it without fear (I am also on 6.9.x).

Does the new intel XE driver (from kernel 6.9) work without problems? Is this activated in the DIST kernel for easy testing?
Do I have to set something special or is it still enough to have "VIDEO_CARDS="intel"" in the make.conf? |

Hello, thank you for your reply. You are indeed right. I have then pointed the correct driver to the kernel boot.

edit: Just read your article, maybe it is better to use the new mesa. |
