For Slimbook Executive with Intel Ultra 7 255H processor the intel-media-driver package was not installed by default with omarchy 3.4.1 (latest stable version).

This caused some problems with the graphics, especially when it was unplugged from the charger.
The browser refresh rate was slow, and the mouse lagged as if it were 10 FPS.
Installing the package fixed all the problems.

My INTEL_GPU string is:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Arrow Lake-P [Arc Pro 130T/140T] (rev 03)

More details about the graphic card:

❯ lspci -nnk | grep -iE 'vga|3d|display' -A 3
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Arrow Lake-P [Arc Pro 130T/140T] [8086:7d51] (rev 03)
        Subsystem: AIstone Global Limited Device [1d05:5001]
        Kernel driver in use: i915
        Kernel modules: i915, xe

Can it be a reason for the issues for panther lake graphics?

@dhh Can it be a reason for the issues for panther lake graphics?
Try to check for the intel-media-driver package.

Pull request overview

Updates Intel GPU hardware-acceleration package installation to cover newer Intel Arc iGPUs (e.g., Arc Pro 130T/140T on Intel Ultra 7 255H), ensuring intel-media-driver is installed when appropriate.

Changes:

  • Extend Intel GPU detection to treat “Arc” as requiring intel-media-driver.

The problem was that the installer wasn't called at all. It's being called now on dev.

@dhh Yes, but it seems it's not enough in my case.

The current condition will not work anyway, see the proof:

~/Work ❯ INTEL_GPU=$(lspci | grep -iE 'vga|3d|display' | grep -i 'intel');

~/Work ❯ echo $INTEL_GPU
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Arrow Lake-P [Arc Pro 130T/140T] (rev 03)

# Current condition:
~/Work ❯ if [[ ${INTEL_GPU,,} =~ "hd graphics"|"xe"|"iris" ]]; then echo "works!"; else echo "doesn't work"; fi
doesn't work

# Fixed in this PR condition:
~/Work ❯ if [[ ${INTEL_GPU,,} =~ "hd graphics"|"xe"|"iris"|"arc" ]]; then echo "works!"; else echo "doesn't work"; fi
works!
