Intel Kabylake GT2 GPU from Intel Core i7-7700HQ CPU isn't supported by current X.Org X11 Intel video driver in EL7 ("xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-26.20160929.el7.x86_64.rpm"): "(EE) No devices detected".
This GPU works ok with "modesetting" driver, but modesetting isn't a complete replacement for the intel driver: "modesetting isn't a complete replacement for the intel driver. 2D performance, virtualisation, colour management and other vendor-specific features aren't supported with xorg-x11-drv-modesetting"
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1445583#c14

I already backported xorg-x11-drv-intel package from Fedora 28 ("xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-32.20171025.fc28.x86_64.rpm"):
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=996252

Here is my COPR repo with packages for EL7 ("xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-34.20171025.el7.x86_64.rpm"):
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/scx/xorg-x11-drv-intel/

My RPM SPEC:
http://wklej.org/hash/6a3bc069cd2/txt/

Installation Instructions:
cd '/etc/yum.repos.d/'
curl 'https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/scx/xorg-x11-drv-intel/repo/epel-7/scx-xorg-x11-drv-intel-epel-7.repo' > 'scx-xorg-x11-drv-intel-epel-7.repo'
yum install 'xorg-x11-drv-intel'

TL;DR
Please upgrade X.Org X11 Intel driver in EL 7.5 from 20160929 to at least 20171025. Thanks in advance.

Comment 5 Adam Jackson 2018-02-01 17:33:58 UTC
I'd be fine with updating this. The intel driver's change rate has dropped significantly, making me more willing to trust an arbitrary snapshot.

Comment 6 Tomasz Tomasik 2018-02-01 23:40:07 UTC
It seems that dropping the "0001-sna-Let-modestting-glamor-handle-gen9.patch" solves the problem. However, due lack of time, I can't say too much about the long-term stability of this solution. The 20171025 driver was already tested in Fedora >= 27 since October 2017. Please remember that even after 2.99.917-27, intel driver is still disabled by default, because the xserver now defaults to the modesetting driver for all recent GPUs.

Summary: I backported changes from "xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-34.20171025.el7.src.rpm" to the 20160929 driver and it seems to work, but I can't say too much about the long-term stability of this solution.

We have already done this in 7.5, so that's good to hear.
