Intel Mesa HD Graphics 3000 not working after upgrading from originally shipped iso kernel in f42 kde

tamfishe · June 17, 2025, 12:27pm

Hi there, I’ve been a Linux for a few years, mainly sticking to Debian-based distros. As of late though after restoring my EliteBook 2560p, I wanted to try Fedora and I liked it enough to stay on it with the Plasma Desktop. However, after upgrading from the kernel that’s shipped with the distro, I saw instead of loading Mesa drivers, it’s running on llvmpipe and I still haven’t found a way to fix it. Here’s an inxi -Fzxx as i was requested in this topic.

Is there any way to fix this? Also, here’s how KDE’s About this system shows the graphics processor:

Please describe what “not working” means (ideally, with error messages from journalctl). I have Fedora Workstation on several systems, some Intel iGPU and one Nvidia. vulkaninfo show that llvmpipe is being used on with both Intel iGPU and Nvidia systems.

ilikelinux · June 17, 2025, 2:32pm

Means would need to install the package vulkan-tools , right ?

tamfishe · June 17, 2025, 3:08pm

Well what doesn’t work from my view as a user is the graphics driver, considering it falls back to software rendering instead of the integrated graphics themselves. If I do sudo journalctl | grep i915, I’m getting these logs:

I removed most of the info though that looked useless because I’m pretty sure it just mentions the limits of llvmpipe which I suppose it’s standard wherever it is, considering I don’t see anything related to my integrated graphics.

gnwiii · June 17, 2025, 5:11pm

The vulkaninfo entries that mention llvmpipe are similar to what I see on a couple systems with Intel iGPU’s, but I don’t have the i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] *ERROR* Atomic update failure on pipe messages on either system. My systems have [drm] Finished loading DMC firmware i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin (v1.4) that I don’t find in your post, but both systems use newer iGPU’s.

Have you checked for UEFI/BIOS updates? Yours is dated 2018.

tamfishe · June 17, 2025, 5:42pm

This laptop has an experimental UEFI so I keep it disabled unless I boot Windows 10, since it breaks GRUB every time no matter the distribution I choose. There’s also no other updates for the BIOS. Is there anything I could really do about it? Or should I switch to a different desktop environment reinstalling Fedora? There’s also my possibility of getting Debian 13 when it releases but who knows how much it’ll take for that to release.

Edit: I just googled up the error and it may be fixed with i915.enable_psr=0 added to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX. I’m probably gonna try that and give an update on that.

tamfishe · June 17, 2025, 6:16pm

Update: Added that parameter and it fixed the errors, I also followed this and it helped out a bit.

I still gotta check if KDE now sees the change or not, and I have to remove i915.enable_psr_helper=0 since it says it’s unknown, therefore it ignores it.

New Update: Still stuck at llvmpipe, however, when I did again sudo journalctl | grep "Jun 17" | grep drm| less in tty, there weren’t anymore errors related to that. Any idea @gnwiii?

gnwiii · June 17, 2025, 6:39pm

I saw that, but it is for power management, modinfo i915 lists kernel command-line options. You might try verbose_state_checks=1.

tamfishe · June 17, 2025, 6:53pm

Tried it, but no changes whatsoever…maybe should I handpick what options I have and update on the results?

gnwiii · June 17, 2025, 7:15pm

Not sure which parameter you mean by “that”.

modinfo i915 does not list enable_psr_helper. Putting i915 in initramfs has worked for others.

Not sure what you mean by “stuck”.

tamfishe · June 17, 2025, 7:16pm

By “that” i mean adding i915.enable_psr=0.

By “stuck” I mean the graphics processor in the system details doesn’t change at all to the intel driver. Honestly I might take it as a KDE bug or something, so I’m probably gonna try a different desktop environment first to see if it changes anything…

gnwiii · June 17, 2025, 9:40pm

inxi shows you are using the i915 driver:

Tam Fishe:

Graphics:
  Device-1: Intel 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics
    vendor: Hewlett-Packard driver: i915 v: kernel arch: Gen-6 ports:
    active: HDMI-A-2,LVDS-1 empty: DP-1, DP-2, HDMI-A-1, VGA-1 bus-ID: 00:02.0
    chip-ID: 8086:0126

All my systems (Nvida and Intel iGPU) use llvmpipe with mesa with either i915 or nouveau drivers. Are you using KDE’s 3D Desktop Effects?

tamfishe · June 18, 2025, 6:04am

Well pretty much I never tinkered with it so, what comes stock as 3D effects in KDE, it’s enabled. Why so?
