Llvmpipe instead Intel driver on Rocky 9

My laptop is a Dell E6420.
The Gnome shell animations doesn’t work and the overall display performance is very poor.
I think is because ‘llvmpipe’.

Any help?

Here is some outputs:

same here…

Did anyone know why?

Hello! Did you get to a solution?

The driver /usr/lib64/dri/i965_dri.so is not included in the mesa-dri-drivers package for EL9. Looks like they are ending support for the older intel chips. You can try copying this file from a running EL8 system to a thumb drive, then paste it into your EL9 system and reboot. It worked for me. Not the best solution, may not work in the future. The real solution is a hardware upgrade.
