It worked! Thanks again. it's been a beautiful experience. Now I have two new questions (if this is the trend, the questions will grow exponentially :) ). 1. When I changed the compilation option CONFIG_DRM_I915 using make menuconfig, I used a search functionality given by the program. In the results of the search the option appeared in a record, and I remember that a field was "prompt". The question is: how are all these options organized and, in particular, what is the meaning of prompt? Is there a way to study the structure and the interdependence of the different options? 2. Now startx starts and I can see xterm windows as I asked in ~/.xinitrc, but I don't see any mouse pointer or, if i3 window manager is called, I see a mouse pointer in the center of the screen but I can't move it with touchpad. Where would I search the reason of this? Another kernel compilation option? Ciao (italian regards) Il giorno mar 23 mag 2023 alle ore 19:30 Matt Housh <jaeger@crux.ninja> ha scritto:

Hi.
$ lspci gives 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 5500 (rev 09)
I also found all the kernel compilation options in /usr/src/linux*/kernel/config_data and the relevant section probably is the following, after the stars line. If you give me some hints I can try to recompile the kernel with a new set of option
Based on your lspci output and kernel configuration snippet, I think all you need to do is enable this option and recompile your kernel:
# CONFIG_DRM_I915 is not set
The i915 driver covers quite a few Intel GPUs, including that one. See https://linux-hardware.org/index.php?id=pci:8086-1616-17aa-2226 for some more information.
