ev says that everything up to Intel HD 620 is supported. It is |
| 27 |
probably reasonable to assume that a HD 630 device is supported. |

Hopefully that is the information you were after but I am still |
| 30 |
somewhat confused and I think my confusion relevant to your original |
| 31 |
question: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
There are Intel HD devices, but there are also Iris devices. Per |
| 34 |
marketing materials I found the Iris line is intended to be |
| 35 |
distributed with higher-end computers for "professional" use. Do Iris |
| 36 |
and HD devices actually differ in driver support or is it mostly the |
| 37 |
name that shows up in lspci or Window's device manager that differs? |
