/dev/dri not found after installing a GPU


Recommended Posts

Toay i just installed a GTX 1650S in my system for passing through to a VM (this is not working yet, but thats another problem... If someone wants to help me please contact me), but now when i try to use the iGPU with Plex it doesn't work. I tried running:

modprobe i915

followed by

chmod -R 777 /dev/dri

But i get an error saying /dev/dri does not exist. What happened here? Any help would be appriciated!

and putting in a GPU

 

Is the iGPU the Primary Graphics Adapter in the BIOS? 

 

Installing the new GPU might have caused the BIOS to give preference to the PCIe GPU instead of the onboard/iGFX or however your BIOS designates the iGPU.

 

the /dev/dri drivers won't load on many many MBs unless the iGPU is the specified primary graphics adapter.

Thank you, this was the problem!
