Hi,
I am having issues with getting my Intel GPU Arc A380 setup for video acceleration on a headless server.
Following nixos-hardware/common/gpu/intel/default.nix at 1e3b3a35b7083f4152f5a516798cf9b21e686465 · NixOS/nixos-hardware · GitHub and Accelerated Video Playback - NixOS Wiki I have the following config running:
{ nixpkgs, pkgs, ... }:
{
system.stateVersion = "23.11";
nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = true;
fileSystems."/" =
{
device = "/dev/disk/by-uuid/uuid";
fsType = "ext4";
};
fileSystems."/boot" =
{
device = "/dev/disk/by-uuid/uuid";
fsType = "vfat";
};
boot.initrd.availableKernelModules = [ "nvme" "xhci_pci" "ahci" "usbhid" "usb_storage" "sd_mod" ];
boot.initrd.kernelModules = [ "i915" ];
boot.kernelModules = [ "kvm-amd" "nct6775" "k10temp" ];
boot.extraModulePackages = [ ];
boot.loader.systemd-boot.enable = true;
boot.loader.efi.canTouchEfiVariables = true;
boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxKernel.packages.linux_6_7;
# ZFS
# https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting%20Started/NixOS/index.html#installation
boot.supportedFilesystems = [ "zfs" ];
boot.zfs.forceImportRoot = false;
networking.hostId = "some_id";
boot.zfs.extraPools = [ "one" "two" "three" ];
services.zfs.autoScrub = {
enable = true;
interval = "weekly";
};
services.zfs.trim.enable = true;
# # Hardware accelerated video
hardware.opengl = {
enable = true;
extraPackages = with pkgs; [
libvdpau-va-gl
intel-vaapi-driver
intel-media-driver
intel-compute-runtime
intel-ocl
];
};
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
vim
lm_sensors
microcodeAmd
# For the GPU
libva-utils
clinfo
linux-firmware
];
}
Unfortunately when I execute vainfo I only get the following output:
Trying display: wayland
error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is invalid or not set in the environment.
Trying display: x11
error: can't connect to X server!
Trying display: drm
libva info: VA-API version 1.20.0
libva info: Trying to open /run/opengl-driver/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_20

vainfo: VA-API version: 1.20 (libva 2.20.0)
vainfo: Driver version: Intel iHD driver for Intel(R) Gen Graphics - 23.3.5 ()
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints
VAProfileNone : VAEntrypointVideoProc
VAProfileNone : VAEntrypointStats
Is there something obvious that I am missing or does anyone know how I can debug further?
EDIT:
Some additional info from the boot process, i’m not sure if the tainting is a problem and could not find out what it means:

I just had some time to dig deeper and managed to find the issue and will leave the solution for anyone with similar issues.
Grepping for ‘i915’ was the key:

The missing firmware can be enabled by setting:
hardware.enableRedistributableFirmware = true; in the nix config.
After a reboot vainfo produces:
