System config info center show vulkan error

[a2n]

Hi just a noob question about graphic driver.

I have the following graphic chips :

[a2n@a2n-eso ~]$ lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display'
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Raptor Lake-P [Iris Xe Graphics] (rev 04)
	DeviceName: Onboard - Video
	Subsystem: Tongfang Hongkong Limited Raptor Lake-P [Iris Xe Graphics]
	Kernel driver in use: i915

So I have installed the following driver :

sudo pacman -S mesa mesa-utils

But when I go on the “Info Center” of KDE I have a tab in “Graphics” about “Vulkan” that say :

ERROR: [Loader Message] Code 0 : vkCreateInstance: Found no drivers!
Cannot create Vulkan instance.
This problem is often caused by a faulty installation of the Vulkan driver or attempting to use a GPU that does not support Vulkan.
ERROR at /usr/src/debug/vulkan-tools/Vulkan-Tools-1.3.263/vulkaninfo/vulkaninfo.h:688:vkCreateInstance failed with ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER

And when I search for package on pacman I found :

[a2n@a2n-eso ~]$ sudo pacman -Q | ack vulk
[sudo] password for a2n: 
vulkan-headers 1:1.3.264-2
vulkan-icd-loader 1.3.263-1
vulkan-tools 1.3.263-1

So my questions is :

• am I using the wrong driver and need vulkan?
• are these packages useful? (I’m wondering if the EOS installation included them, as I’ve just re-installed my system).

You probably need vulkan-intel

[a2n]

I’ve seen this package, but I’m wondering how I can know if I really need it? I read in arch’s wiki that vulkan is for Haswell and + boards, does that mean I need this package for all intel boards?

Your graphics chip is not that old, so you can install the package. Older chips have no or limited Vulkan support.

The wiki means from haswell (microarchitecture) and newer, which first appeared in 2013. you have raptor lake and they are newer and first released in 2022.

Ok thanks for the information !
