Enabling iGPU on [Redacted] Dedi Running Rawhide
Many of [Redacted's] installs seem to load kernels with "nomodeset" set on grub's kernel command line. This disables the integrated graphics processor, and, I guess, saves on electricity.
I thought I might try doing something with the iGPU, so I enabled it.
[Redacted] Community has a 2019 tutorial at https://community.hetzner.com/tutorials/howto-enable-igpu so I seemed to need a few updates for 2024 Fedora Rawhide.
Here's what I did:
776 cd /etc/default
777 ls
778 cp -p grub /root/etc-default-grub-original # Enable revert
[ . . . ] # More looking around with ls
786 vi grub # Remove "nomodeset"
787 grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
788 ls /dev/dri # Nothing yet
789 date -u; systemctl reboot
Now,
[root@polonium ~]# ls -al /dev/dri
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 100 May 13 18:25 .
drwxr-xr-x. 20 root root 4120 May 13 18:25 ..
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 80 May 13 18:25 by-path
crw-rw----. 1 root video 226, 0 May 13 18:25 card0
crw-rw-rw-. 1 root render 226, 128 May 13 18:25 renderD128
[root@polonium ~]#
What should I do next?
I hope everyone gets the servers they want!

What is the point of this redaction when the link clearly shows the provider?
[Redacted] is a joke between me and @crunchbits. Please see https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/162003/#Comment_162003

Oh, OK I didn't get the background.
