 Posted: Thu Jul 03, 2025 5:47 am Post subject: Intel UHD 620 Graphics and Ghostty |
 |
|
I have a Lenovo X390 with Gen 8 intel graphics. I decided to try out ghostty, but get this error:
| Code: | | error(gtk_surface): surface failed to realize: error.SystemOutdated |
which I understand indicates that the graphics hardware is not available for ghostty to use. I have been through the wiki instructions for intel graphics, and have tweaked everything as I understand I should, but have still not achieved a successful result.
Since this process takes quite a lot of time per iteration (tweaking graphics settings normally means qtwebengine recompiles!), I though I would just ask: am I trying to do something which isn't possible? Are any of you successfully using ghostty with Intel UHD 620 graphics? If so, are there any tips I need to be aware of?
Thanks in advance! |

Thank you @CaptainBlood - that did indeed solve the problem.
Is that a bug which needs correcting in the repository? If so, I will look to make a patch and upload it. It's interesting that I had no issues on my two other machines, both with AMD graphics. |

Here is | Code: | | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 (rev 06) |
GPU discrimination doesn't seem 2 belong to upstream package configuration.
Also seems like ebuild USE policy is mostly to only implement upstream package configuration settings. (my 2cents).
As a result, I'd rather turn 2 package upstream to better decide how it should be handle. (my 2cents).

I have reopened my discussion on the upstream github repository - let's see what they say about fixing the code there! I don't know zig, so I don't know if the change you made will impact systems with other graphics cards, and since I am travelling at the moment, I can't test it on my own AMD based systems.
I think I need to learn some zig...  |

Just as a test I installed this on my Raptor Lake i9 and it just did not work right. Anything I typed would be echoed to the console in spurts or just stop echoing half way there until I hit enter and when I ran my uCurses (my own curses library) demo code (like my utf8 ray cast thingie) it stopped responding to all key presses outright.
Still a long way to go before that terminal is actually usable. |

Apparently there are issues with the kernel version 6.15.4 which are being worked on - the changes shown above get round it on this laptop. I have tried ghostty on this system (which is the one I struggled to get it working on), on an AMD based laptop and on an AMD based desktop - it works properly on all of them, without issues. Not sure why you are getting issues, but if you want to follow up the developers on the ghostty GitHub are helpful - they may have users with an installation similar to yours and can offer some advice. |

There ARE also some bugs in my uCurses library where *IT* does not play nice in certain terminals and I have yet to discover why so I cant put ALL the blame on Ghostty :) |
