36 .Nd Driver for Intel i915 family integrated graphics chipsets
40 driver provides support for integrated graphics chips by Intel.

48 Tunables can be set at the
50 prompt before booting the kernel or stored in
52 .Bl -tag -width "xxxxxx"
53 .It Va drm.i915.disable_aux_irq
54 When non-zero, disable interrupt usage for DisplayPort AUX channel.
55 This option doesn't affect GPU models older than Generation 5 (Ironlake).
56 Can be used as a workaround in cases where DisplayPort panel
57 initialization is unreliable, which often leaves a blank screen after the
61 1 = don't use AUX IRQ, 0 = auto (default).
62 .It Va drm.i915.enable_psr
63 Enable PSR (panel self refresh), only relevant for Haswell and Broadwell
65 1 = enable, 0 = disable (default).
66 To maximize PSR usage, it can be beneficial to set
67 .Va hw.dri.vblank_offdelay
70 to a sufficiently low value (or
72 to minimize vblank interrupt activity.
73 .It Va drm.i915.enable_execlists
74 Override execlists usage on Broadwell IGPs (no effect on other IGP models).
75 Disabling execlists reverts to legacy ringbuffer mode.
76 -1 = auto (default), 0 = disable, 1 = enable
79 If display backlight level can be controlled by the GPU (which is often
80 the case in notebooks), the sysctl
81 .Va hw.backlight_level
82 can be used to adjust the backlight level.
83 Permitted values are from 0 to the value of
84 .Va hw.backlight_max .
91 driver was first available for Linux.
