Thanks for the suggestion, but xf86-video-intel is now abandoned by Inel,
so no Alder Lake support. Until 515 became available, no support at all. I
had to use scfb and lacked almost all features. At least basics are now
available. Accel was available for a while and I suspect that I might get
it working if I can find the right firmware version from early 2023.
