The Intel kernel module should load fine automatically on system boot.

However, the modesetting driver can cause problems such as screen tearing and mouse jittering on XFCE, artifacts when switching virtual desktops in Chromium, and vsync jitter/video stutter in mpv. See, , Xorg#Installation, and modesetting(4). Note: Some ( Debian & Ubuntu, Fedora, KDE) recommend not installing the xf86-video-intel driver, and instead falling back on the modesetting driver for Gen4 and newer GPUs (GMA 3000 from 2006 and newer). For Vulkan support ( Ivy Bridge and newer), install the vulkan-intel package.Beside this functionality, this package is generally not recommended, see note below.

For the DDX driver which provides 2D acceleration in Xorg, install the xf86-video-intel package.For 32-bit application support, also install the lib32-mesa package from the multilib repository.Install the mesa package, which provides the DRI driver for 3D acceleration. 6.19 Issues with selecting Qt elements within Plasma Desktop on Alder Lake/UHD 770.6.18 Freeze after wake from sleep/suspend with Alder Lake-P.6.16 Crash/freeze on low power Intel CPUs.6.15 No sound through HDMI on a Haswell CPU.6.14 KMS Issue: console is limited to small area.6.10 Kernel crashing w/kernels 4.0+ on Broadwell/Core-M chips.6.9 Corruption or unresponsiveness in Chromium and Firefox.6.5 Blank screen during boot, when "Loading modules".6.4 Font and screen corruption in GTK applications (missing glyphs after suspend/resume).6.2 Disable Vertical Synchronization (VSYNC).5.2 Hardware accelerated H.264 decoding on GMA 4500.4.3 Intel GVT-g graphics virtualization support.4.1 Framebuffer compression (enable_fbc).

And just so we can be clear, I came from a 2015 MacBook Pro 13" Retina that also caused similar issues with the 4K Dell.

Hoped this update would fix it, but alas not. And even without the 2K one hooked up, when I awake the SP4, the 4K monitor stays blanked out until I do a mix of mouse wiggling within it's workspace and pressing the monitor control buttons. When I connect the 2K monitor the 4K one keeps blanking out. I have a Surface Pro 4 (i7 256GB SSD 16GB RAM) which from a design and operation angle is outstanding, but it (or Intel) is/are having trouble driving my Dell 4K + Dell 1080P ('2K') monitors together via the new (and well designed) Surface Dock.
