<title>Update of Kernel Graphics Stack</title>
<para>
On &thisversion;, the upgrade of the graphics stack up to 4.9.x
kernel code is provided via the package <package>drm-kmp-default</package>
instead of backporting tons of patches into the kernel
itself. Usually this package is installed automatically at
installation when a corresponding graphics device is found on your
machine.
</para>
<para>
The KMP gives users also another benefit: you can roll back to the
4.4.x kernel code simply by uninstalling this package.
If you often face critical issues, like a hung GPU, try to
uninstall the package once like below, reboot and retest.
