After modprobe i915 I cannot start a VM

[remati]

I am having an issue with passing through the Intel Quicksync driver and starting a Windows 10 virtual machine with a passthrough Nvidia GPU.

 

#!/bin/bash

# Start the Management Utility
/usr/local/sbin/emhttp &

# Copy custom vm icons
cp /boot/icons/* /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.vm.manager/templates/images/

# Load the i915 driver
modprobe i915
chmod -R 777 /dev/dri

 

If I use the above go file I cannot start my Windows VM. If I were to put the commands into a userscript that loads at the start of the array I still cannot start the VM.

 

One thing that works is if I first start the virtual machine then issue the modprobe command everything works as expected. Anyone have experience with this?
