A DKMS kernel module packaging the Linux i915 and xe Intel graphics drivers with SR-IOV support, enabling an Intel iGPU to expose multiple virtual functions for passthrough to VMs. It is a community port of mainline kernel driver code and is explicitly experimental.

Use cases

• share one Intel iGPU among multiple VMs via SR-IOV virtual functions
• passthrough Intel UHD graphics to Proxmox or KVM guests
• enable GPU acceleration in virtual machines on Intel integrated graphics
• create up to 7 virtual functions on an Intel iGPU for containers and VMs
• use Intel graphics in LXC containers via render node passthrough

When to choose

• you run Linux with an Intel iGPU and want SR-IOV GPU virtualization
• you need multiple VMs sharing a single Intel integrated GPU
• you are comfortable building DKMS kernel modules and tuning kernel parameters

When to avoid

• you need a stable, officially supported Intel driver
• your kernel version is outside the supported range
• you require Secure Boot without module signing setup
• you use Meteor Lake or Lunar Lake with the xe driver
