[Ltsp-discuss] Video drivers for NUC

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

Are there video drivers for an Intel NUC (NUC5CPYH) which can somehow be
installed in the chroot?

With the standard drivers, I can do standard office work, and it plays
even a video in a window on the web page. But in fullscreen mode, the
video will stutter and eventually stop playing.

So I guess I would need a graphics driver using the GPU directly.

Do you agree? Does anyone here have Intel NUCs as clients and has more
information about this?

Thank you folks for any tips!

Regards
Rolf

Take a look at your /var/log/X.org* files to see which driver it is now
using. It probably should be "intel".

On RHEL6 I had to do "usermod -aG video my-user-account" to get Mesa 3D
working with NUC.

You are right, it uses the "intel" driver for video 0 and 1. Thank you
for the tip!

But with fat clients, usermod runs only within the server context as the
users exist only there. In the chroot, the users are unknown, there is a
single user named "linux" only. Nevertheless, I tried to issue usermod
on the server, the user was added to the video group, but it had no
effect for the NUC.

Or did I get you completely wrong here?
