Intel GPU driver not loading.

English Hardware
1

When I try to run intel_gpu_top it errors out printing this “No device filter specified and no discrete/integrated i915 devices found”. So I decided to find the driver for my GPU and ran lspci -k | grep -A 2 -i “VGA” but then awkwardly it showed :

0000:00:02.0 **VGA** compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 9a78 (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 881d
        Kernel modules: i915

So does that mean that the GPU has no active driver? Where did the “Kernel driver in use:” go?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance :).

Sorry I forgot to post my hardware info :shame: I have a 11th Gen Intel i3-1125G4 processor with a Intel UHD iGPU.

Sorry for not putting the Code tags but actually that’s all it says. Just:

No device filter specified and no discrete/integrated i915 devices found

Once more:
incl. the whole commandline:

Das Programm 'intel_gpu_top' kann im folgenden Paket gefunden werden:
  * intel-gpu-tools  Pfad: /usr/bin/intel_gpu_top, Repository: zypp (repo-oss) ]

Zum Installieren versuchen Sie:
    zypper install intel-gpu-tools

/sbin/lspci -nnk | grep -EiA3 'vga|display|3d'

Oh I get it. Here is “/sbin/lspci -nnk | grep -EiA3 ‘vga|display|3d’”

root@localhost:~> /sbin/lspci -nnk | grep -EiA3 'vga|display|3d'

And here is intel_gpu_top

Ok here’s that

advaith@localhost:~> cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.18.9-2-default root=UUID=532efd32-e736-406a-be51-83a1f763b502 splash=silent nomodeset mitigations=auto quiet security=apparmor

Ok now it’s obvious, fixed by removing nomodeset :shame:. But it’s weird nomodeset is enabled by default (Of course considering I had to install using nomodeset: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/572072-Installer-screens-overlaying). Anyway thanks for your help :).

I’ve complained to the developers about continuing with nomodeset on the installed system after it was found necessary to running the installer. They claim the consequences of not having it when needed are worse than those you encountered needing to not have it, and there’s no programmatic way for the installer to determine which condition would result on the installed system. Most often it’s needed on laptops with two GPUs, uncommonly on desktops with only the CPU’s IGP for graphics output.
