## Troubleshooting

The kernels packaged by Void are configured with
`CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_DEFAULT_ON=y`, which can lead to issues with their graphics
drivers, as reported by the [kernel
documentation](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/x86/intel-iommu.html#graphics-problems).
To fix this, it is necessary to disable IOMMU for the integrated GPU. This can
be done by adding `intel_iommu=igfx_off` to your [kernel
cmdline](../../kernel.md#cmdline). If your issues are fixed by this kernel
option, you should file a bug reporting the problem to kernel developers.
