ThinkPad T510 is using llvmpipe for graphics instead of Intel HD

My T510 was upgraded with a Intel Core i7 640M. I discovered that it's using llvmpipe instead of Intel HD for graphics, and I don't know why. I have everything related to Intel graphics & mesa installed on the system.

I tried both 5.15 & Liquorix's 5.16 kernels, along with your Mesa, but none worked. Had to use yours because Mesa in Ubuntu repo wasn't working properly (constant freezes), and necessitated me to add this PPA (until today). Reverting back to official repo solved it.
Here's the link to Launchpad bug report that may be the cause as to why my laptop was using LLVMpipe.
OS: Kubuntu 22.04
You're CPU is 12 years old, there won't be any updates for it. Just stick to official Ubuntu drivers, they will be the same.
It's because of https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Mesa-Classic-Retired you get LLVMpipe.
Though there might be some new replacement drivers I could enable instead...

Sure hope so. yes, it's old, but it's perfect to use whenever I'm running on the treadmill.

I mean you can always just not use my PPA and use vanilla Ubuntu.
Anyway, try to update now and see if it helps, i've added i915g and crocus!
