Any suggestions on dmesg and lspci commands I need to run to figure out what I need to resolve this.
Plus any other commands that may help.
When I figure out what I need I'll be back for help how to get it.

usually /var/logXorg.0.log should give a clue
othrwise lspci | grep -i vga or smthng like to see what sort of hardware and lsmod to see what kernel modules are in use..

Ed_P,
Add /etc/profile.d/intel-media.sh
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD

Thank you guys,
I will keep you posted on my results.

Ok, what I've got.
Code: Select all
root@porteus:/home/guest# lspci | grep -i vga

root@porteus:/home/guest# dmesg | grep error

"vga" was a better match than my using "video" for my searches and shows a match in lspci.
I created the intel-media-driver module using getmod as suggested and put it in the modules folder but it didn't load. I suspect it was the "zstd" error. How do I handle that problem?

Are you using Porteus 4.0?

For this yes. Would a xzm2dir / dir2xzm work?

Oh no, Porteus 4.0 is old/outdated (xorg-mesa), doesn't support the latest hardware (hardware acceleration).

um, this isn't about "video hardware acceleration", but your video card (kernel)driver not loading (probly using vesa as a fallback)
intel-media-driver is just for "hardware"(ie. graphic card) decoding of media(ie. a video(movie)) with mpv or the like.
more likely, some missing firmware, or old xorg driver doesn't work with newer hardware.. same upshot tho, for the second..

What do I search for to verify that?

Is there a way to create the missing driver as a module from 5.0 in 4.0?

lsmod with no grep ...and /var/log/Xorg.0.log ..
porteus system info has all this and more one place...
