The Intel Arrow Lake Linux graphics driver support appears largely wrapped up following [1]a patch for properly handling the necessary GSC firmware requirements and building off all the existing Meteor Lake Arc Graphics driver code paths. There are a number of Arrow Lake PCI device IDs already present for the graphics while a new one is being added now to the kernel drivers.

The Intel Linux kernel graphics driver has already supported Arrow Lake graphics PCI device IDs of 0x7D41, 0x7D51, 0x7D67, and 0x7DD1 but now another one is being added: 0xB640.

[2]The patch simply adds the additional device ID for Arrow Lake without any context for this new device ID. It would appear though that the Arrow Lake family may be slightly larger than originally planned given this late addition of another device ID.

In any event it's looking like for Linux 6.11~6.12 is the baseline for Arrow Lake graphics on Linux. It's with the upcoming Linux 6.12 cycle where [3]Battlemage and Lunar Lake graphics are now enabled out-of-the-box .
