If I stay away from Q965 (like with Intel Core i5), do
I avoid the
problem? I did not have this issue on a Dell optiplex 780, which should
also have a Q965, with its integrated GPU in openSUSE 15.4.
The problem is only with the Q965 AFAIK.
These are the only 64bit Intel Optiplex models I have hands-on info on, owning all
but 755, which my brother has, or 790, belonging to a good buddy:
620 has 945G, Gen3
745 has Q965, Gen4
755 has Q35, Gen3
760 has Q43, Gen4
780 has Q45, Gen4
790 has Q65, which doesn't contain a GPU; Gen5 moved Sandy Bridge GPU to CPU
Whatever other models in the period may have existed I don't know about. Sandy
Bridge is where Core i5 first appeared AFAICT.

It is currently not installed, but I will try. How do
I make sure the DDX
display driver is in use? Do I check it with `lsmod`?
If there is a Xorg.0.log file, it over-amply reports driver in use. Inxi -G also
reports loaded display driver.
