1. Linux kernel It would be better to install a recent stable kernel or rc kernel. The kernel in the specific Linux OS might not support Kabylake.
2. Mesa/Cairo It is not needed. 3. Xorg / xf86-video-intel It is not needed if you won't playback a video, otherwise you should check xf86-video-intel supports Kabylake or not. Usually you needn't update Xorg. 4. libdrm libdrm in the specific Linux OS might not support Kabylake, so it would be better to install a recent version of libdrm. 5. libva/libva-intel-driver The latest version is 1.7.3 Thanks Haihao > Sorry, didn’t realize I had to reply all.
