September 27, 2025Sep 27 Hi everyone,About six months ago, I posted regarding getting Intel N355 GPU support working when I was running Unraid as a VM on Proxmox VE. At that time, I managed to get it working with some tweaks.Now, I’m running Unraid 7.1.4 as the host OS (bare metal), but the system still fails to recognize the N355 GPU. The /dev/dri directory does not exist, and installing intel-gpu-top didn’t help.A while back, I tried almost every tutorial I could find. In some cases, I was able to get /dev/dri to appear, but the system couldn’t actually use the GPU—it couldn’t read any GPU information or utilize it for transcoding or other tasks.I’ve since recreated my Unraid USB from scratch, but the issue remains.Has anyone successfully gotten the Intel N355 working on Unraid 7.1.4 bare metal? If so, could you share what steps worked for you? Any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance!

October 2, 2025Oct 2 Community Expert do you have the intel top plugin installed?For the Intel N355, you don't typically need to install a separate Linux driver; instead, you should use your Linux distribution's kernel and packages to get support for the integrated Intel Graphics, ensuring your OS kernel is at least version 6.13 or later for full functionality like hardware video transcoding. Installing the intel-media-va-driver-non-free and intel-opencl-icd packages is often necessary for media acceleration and OpenCL support, according to Intel linux instlations... https://dgpu-docs.intel.com/driver/installation.htmlas there has been some changes to the Slackware Linux kerneal that unraid complies.https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/release-notes/7.1.4/unraid is RC in 7.2 whcih may have a updated driver fix.7.14: Linux kernelversion 6.12.24-Unraid (no change)Version 7.2.0-rc.1 2025-10-01 | Unraid DocsThe Unraid webGUI is now responsive!

October 2, 2025Oct 2 Community Expert As it appears that that integrated Graphics done't follow the intel kerneal default stable standard and may require 3rd party driver/software install to use....Since unraid is not kernel 6.13 yet.

The main problem is that it remains unusable—the system can't actually interact with it or utilize it for any tasks.I will follow your suggestion and try updating the system to Unraid 7.2. I'm currently in the middle of a data migration, so it might take me a couple of days before I can perform the update. I'll be sure to report back here with my results once I've tested it.On a side note, I'm already considering a hardware change to a system with an 8845HS CPU, whose integrated GPU I believe is properly supported. But that's certainly my last resort.I appreciate the guidance and will keep you posted. Edited October 3, 2025Oct 3 by giantwiki
October 10, 2025Oct 10 Community Expert AS I don't have the hardware to test and its a long shot... with intel top installed you may need to 3rd party installthe intell driver:cd /boot/extra at boot slackware binary files are installed. system log dmesg to see what became of them Not sure what other libes pacakges may also be needed.https://slackware.pkgs.org/15.0/slackware-x86_64/intel-vaapi-driver-2.4.1-x86_64-3.txz.htmlhttps://slackware.pkgs.org/15.0/slackdce-x86_64/intel-media-driver-21.3.5-x86_64-1_slackdce.txz.htmlThe Binary to add to the extra folder on the flash drive.https://slackware.uk/slackware/slackware64-15.0/slackware64/x/intel-vaapi-driver-2.4.1-x86_64-3.txzWarning!
