If not install it and see if your missing firmware goes away.xserver-xorg-video-intel might actually be a problem. If installed, Xorg uses it if you don't explicitly override. It's no longer the driver of choice for most Intel gfxchips. If you're not using an antique Intel gfxchip, you probably prefer the modesetting driver that is integral to the server:http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Fedora-Xorg-Intel-DDX-Switch http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel-modesetting-2017&num=1 http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Ubuntu-Debian-Abandon-Intel-DDX
Modesetting was causing me problems....the image viewer feh was segfaulting so I had to
create an xorg.conf file to go back to the old way.I was going to report a bug on xserver-xorg ( as the docs suggest) but report bug on my machine won't run because of python problems and I haven't found the time to
figure out reporting bug via email.
