That is odd and not my experience at all, but I am just passing it through on ESX to an Ubuntu VM. No special Grub flags needed.

I'm using CentOS 7.4 as host for my LXC's. Emby is running on Debian in a container, which just uses the device I pass on (/dev/dri/renderD128).

It could be a kernel thing 3.x vs. 4.x - there was some changes done, don't know if this was one of them.

Any idea whether X11SAT-F or X11SAE-F support QSV?

I guess for QSV a non-Xeon cpu is required. I was planning to go with Xeon E3-1270 V6.

I got my X11SSH-F today and it's fairly easy to get the iGPU running, but there is one small thing; iKVM will no longer work, but serial (sol) does if configured.

After I added "i915.enable_rc6=0 i915.disable_display=1 i915.verbose_state_checks=1" to grub, I got:

# lspci
....
00:02.0 Display controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 630 (rev 04)

and in dmesg:

[ 16.105151] i915 0000:00:02.0: irq 41 for MSI/MSI-X
[ 16.117246] [drm] GuC firmware load skipped
[ 16.117248] [drm] RC6 disabled, disabling runtime PM support
[ 16.117802] [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20161121 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 1
[ 16.387475] [drm] Finished loading i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_01.bin (v1.1)

Without these settings it will just refuse to initialise with:

Nov 2 12:59:07 localhost kernel: [drm] Display disabled (module parameter)
Nov 2 12:59:07 localhost kernel: [drm] Memory usable by graphics device = 4096M
Nov 2 12:59:07 localhost kernel: [drm] Replacing VGA console driver
Nov 2 12:59:07 localhost kernel: [drm:i915_gem_init_stolen [i915]] *ERROR* conflict detected with stolen region: [0x7e000000 - 0x80000000
]

My full /etc/default/grub looks like:

Code:
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="serial console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="crashkernel=auto i915.enable_rc6=0 i915.disable_display=1 i915.verbose_state_checks=1"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200n8"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --speed=115200 --unit=1 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1"
Which will enable the iGPU and SOL at the same time.

It could be great, if some one have an idea about how to get iGPU (i915) and the build GFX card to work at the same time - I prefer iKVM/HTML5 over SOL.


Cheers,

I'm not sure I follow. IGPU and iKVM Are completely different. The iKVM uses the aspeed graphics. Unless you try to do a pass-through of that there should not be any issue with iKVM.

You need a cpu which have a GPU, that meaning a 12x5.

I did read somewhere that there was an issue with the E3 12x5 V6, which does not have support from the Intel Media Server Library. I do not know if that has impact on the support of QSV. See this tread for more information: Kaby Lake Support for Media Server Studio

If the above is true, then it probably would be better to go for an V5 processor....

Yes, I am using the Xeon E3-1265 v6 on a SM X11SSH-F.
Pass through the GPU on ESX 6.5U1 to Ubuntun 16.04 VM.
QSV works with no customization of the Ubuntu OS.

I'm using a X11SAT-F with a Xeon E3-1245 V5 and QSV works just fine for both Emby and Blue Iris.

Hello,

just got my X11SSH-F, hardware transcode works fine (Plex), but i would like know why i do not have exact lspci output like casperghst42 ?

I do not have "Intel HD graphics" like him.

So I think i'm missing somethings ?

My lspci output:

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Device 5918 (rev 05)

Interesting, especially because you're missing this:

00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v5/E3-1500 v5/6th Gen Core Processor PCIe Controller (x16) (rev 06)
00:01.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v5/E3-1500 v5/6th Gen Core Processor PCIe Controller (x8) (rev 06)

I don't know, but am interested to see what other people say.

Well, you do have the 00:02.0 PCI Device, which is pretty much always the Intel IGP in these platforms. If you are wondering why you see Display controller: Intel Corporation Device 591d, it may be because your Linux distribution is old enough to not have the definition about what Device 591d is.


You only have the 00:01.1 an 00:01.2 PCI Bridges when you are using the slots that requires bifurcation (LGA 1151 can do 16x, 8x/8x or 8x/4x/4x). So, if you are using only one card in the main 16x slot, you only get the PCI Bridge at 00:01.0 (Also when everything is unpopulated). If you have only one card but it is in the third 4x slot, then you will have 00:01.0, 00:01.1 and 00:01.2.

Ok I understand a bit better.
Right now, i do not have any card in PCIE slot.
I'm running Debian 9.6, but it's an old installation (Jessie > Strecth)

It can be the issue ? How can I do to "normalize" this ? (if its possible)

btw, thank you for the answer :)

Does the X11SSM have the SG (Split Graphics) option? My X11SCA-F will do onboard GPU with display whilst IKVM is used for boot display and control with this option set so no reason QSV wouldn't work too.
