+==== Intel HD Graphics 510, X.org and 3D acceleration ====
 We installed **Debian 8 Jessie**, but found that kernel linux-image-3.16.0 does not handle the Intel **High Definition Graphics 510 GPU**. At boot time no Intel framebuffer is detected and text console is just 80x25 chars. So we installed **linux-image-4.6.0** from jessie-backports, now the kernel detects the GPU and text console is now at high resolution:
