Since i915ovm is not a standard mainline Linux kernel module (the standard Intel graphics driver is i915 ), you are likely referring to a used for Intel GVT-g (Graphics Virtualization) or a specific out-of-tree module for SR-IOV support on Intel integrated GPUs (e.g., for passing through the iGPU to a VM like QEMU/KVM). Standard OVMF (Open Virtual Machine Firmware) often lacks

: Most distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.) package the latest i915 driver within their standard kernel updates.

Standard OVMF (Open Virtual Machine Firmware) often lacks built-in support for Intel's proprietary OpRegion and display initialization. The updated ROM—often sourced from projects like i915ovmfPkg on GitHub —includes several improvements:
