I'm trying to install intel.gpu.top but face this error:

How can I further investigate the failure cause? I do not see the package in /boot/config/plugins.

It's very possible that it's an issue with my BIOS. I have tried several things in configuring the IGP. I boot with a monitor connected.

I basically just want to setup QSV. So far I'm able to confirm the PCI device exists

root@Tower:~# lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Raptor Lake-S GT1 [UHD Graphics 770] (rev 04)

However, I don't have a /dev/dri and i915 module fails to load

root@Tower:~# modprobe i915
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'i915': No such device

I hope some of this makes sense and someone could send me on the good path to hw accel

TLDR: fixed by removing nomodeset in syslinux.cfg

I dived into the .plg file and I saw better what's going on. The first check of lspci -nn | grep -E "VGA compatible controller|Display controller" | grep "Intel" [...]

worked fine and returned the device address (a780).

From System Devices info:

But it's the subsequent modprobe i915 that kept failing. No blacklisted items, no more vfio bind were present.

I suspect the nomodeset was there from earlier when I was trying to passthrough the graphics card to a VM.

Anyway loading i915 is not my end goal but at least I have /dev/dri that I can now map to docker container.

Thanks for the post. This was exactly my problem.

I had added nomodeset to syslinux.cfg when trying to get my iKVM console to stop blinking.

After I removed it my Sparkle Intel Arc A310 started working in Unraid.
