Hi.
Proxmox newbie.
Trying to get the integrated GPU to work for passthrough to a LXC.
Running Proxmox 7.2-11

Output from lspci -v
Code:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Ice Lake-LP Processor Host Bridge/DRAM Registers (rev 03)
        Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 7270
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IOMMU group 0

        Capabilities: [300] Page Request Interface (PRI)
        Kernel modules: i915

Shouldn't the VGA compatible controller have something like Kernel driver in use:?
 
did you try to load the module with
Code:
modprobe i915

can you post the output of 'dmesg' ?
 
Thanks.
The dmesg output helped me out.
It showed that i had put nomodeset in /etc/default/grub
Removing nomodeset helped loading the drivers.
