Intel quicksync driver3/22/2023 But that means I'm not sure if the above command will work on the stable release of SCALE. One caveat: During my troubleshooting process, before I got the above bit of code, I manually updated to the latest nightly of TrueNAS SCALE hoping that it would have support for my Rocket Lake processer. And, thankfully, gave me the command that told the kernel to use my internal graphics sudo midclt call '' So, as you can see, during bootup the server is telling you what's wrong. To force driver probe anyway, use i915.force_probe=4c9a i915 0000:00:02.0: Your graphics device 4c9a is not properly supported by the driver in this What finally gave it away sudo dmesg | grep i915 So, what I didn't know was that the kernel being used by TrueNAS Scale (which you can find using 'uname -a') is not the latest kernel, and doesn't by default know how to use the Rocket Lake and newer CPU's. When you do the lspci and grep the VGA, look or the Intel line and search for the number after "Device" on the Internet). I have a Xeon E-2356G, with UHD P750 graphics, hence the "4c9a". (for those of us, like me, who didn't know, that "Intel Corporation Device" number changes based on the chip you have. That lspci command didn't tell me that the kernel wasn't able to use my QSV. That "card0" was the SECOND VGA compatible controller, the ASPEED. You see, I was further fooled by lspci | grep -i vgaĠ0:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 4c9a (rev 04)Ġ3:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ASPEED Technology, Inc. It was the graphics chip on my motherboard. I saw "card0" and thought that that must be my QSV. When I saw some forum posts saying "log in and look at /dev/dri", here's what I ls -alh /dev/driĭrwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4.1K Mar 19 09:41. If, when you are installing an App (such as Plex), you don't see a drop-down under "GPU Configuration", then your QSV hasn't been recognized by the server. If you see 'i915' in documentation or forum posts, that's a kernel driver that lets Linux use the built-in graphics of Intel CPUs. It only applies to those of us who intentionally purchased an Intel CPU with "Quick Sync Video" (QSV) for transcoding purposes.įirst of all, a little background. This post does not apply for those with nvidia cards. Okay, so this took awhile to figure out, and I want to thank for giving me the command that ultimately got my Quick Sync working in TrueNAS SCALE and let me pass it through to my Apps.
