So Linux is OK with the QEMU patch?  Clearly the guest drivers need to
support the hardware, just as they would on bare metal.  There's
nothing the virtualization layers can do about that.

I'm not clear where you stand here, do you have a desktop at all on the
IGD device?  Is it using the microsoft basic driver or the builtin
Intel driver?  What error code/message is listed in device manager?
When you try the downloaded driver from Intel, does it install?  What
error message is reported in device manager?

I appreciate the offer, loaning/gifting hardware gets complicated and
remote access is difficult for graphics work, also I can't guarantee
when I'll have availability to work on the issue.  I'd like to
understand your situation above first.  Thanks,
