IMC stands for the Integrated Memory Controller. The DRAM controller has some internal counters for counting different types of memory accesses. For example, for my laptop it is documented here:https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/articles/monitoring-integrated-memory-controller-requests-in-the-2nd-3rd-and-4th-generation-intel.html Do you have any suggestions about the cause of the xrandr error? It works perfectly in the virtual machine!
