I was in too big a rush to send my last post. Rocket Lake support is obviously
missing from Mageia 8's version of xf86-video-intel (packaged as
x11-driver-video-intel in Mageia). Intel's driver development has been focusing on
the modesetting DIX, while its named driver has been in maintenance mode for 7+
years. So, for the IGP to function as well as possible, either remove
x11-driver-video-intel, or specify 'Driver "modesetting"' in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
in some 'Section "Device"' file dedicated to the IGP, e.g. 15-intel.conf.
