This is because :doc:`./mrc.bin` requires workarounds to +have such a feature working correctly. +``` + +However, there is a [patch on Gerrit][hsw-gfx-gerrit] that allows PCIe +graphics to be used for display output. This patch is not guaranteed to +be of the same level of quality as code committed to coreboot. + +Still, in some cases, a PCIe graphics card can be used for rendering, +while the integrated graphics device is used for display output.
