Anyone have working iGPU acceleration (VAAPI) on a headless Proxmox Client?

[jbrukardt]

Man, I am having a hard time with this. It shouldnt be this hard.

Hardware: Kaby Lake (i5-7600), 8gb RAM, 1TB NVmE, HDMI hooked up to mobo, no discrete GPU

Host Environment: Proxmox 7, ZFS, IOMMU and PCI passthrough fully enabled on proxmox host

Guest Environment: Debian bullseye, non-free, 00:2:00 (Intel 630) passed in as a PCI passthrough, with flag "primary GPU, all functions, rom-bar" checked, Q35 and UEFI Bios

What I want to do: Have hardware video acceleration work. Primary for use with plex/jellyfin/frigate/etc.

Software Environment: vainfo, intel-media-va-driver-non-free installed, chrome remote desktop for access, environment variables set as follows:

LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD

lspci | grep VGA output

06:10.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 630 (rev 04)

My Problem:

Vainfo wont output, i suspect this may have something to do with being headless.

libva info: VA-API version 1.13.0
libva info: User environment variable requested driver 'iHD'
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_12
libva error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init failed
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 2
vaInitialize failed with error code 2 (resource allocation failed),exit

The video acceleration works in precisely no scenarios, no MPV, no chromium, no jellyfin.

Hi,
I'm facing a similar issue after i tried install the intel-media-va-driver-non-free, it was working just fine before but had issues with subtitiles burn in.
Were you able to find a working solution. I'm really trying hard to not do a clean install of my proxmox installation ( which i know will fix the problem )
