Intel Enables Xe2 Lunar Lake & Battlemage Graphics By Default With Linux 6.12
It's happening! The upcoming Linux 6.12 kernel cycle will be enabling the Xe2 graphics in Lunar Lake and Battlemage out-of-the-box / by-default
That's good news for seeing the Battlemage support ready to be enabled by default ahead of those graphics cards launching and should allow for a much smoother Linux experience than during the early DG2/Alchemist days. Yesterday's drm-xe-next pull request makes the change for promoting the Lunar Lake (LNL) and Battlemage (BMG) support. That pull request also enables priority memory read support on Xe2, performance tuning changes for Xe2, Battlemage GFuC firmware stabilizing, and other fixes/improvements.
