SOLVED: Trying to get hardware acceleration to work with intel arc a380

[iif2fo]

My Supermicro X11SCL-iF motherboard has a Intel C242 chipset and does come with onboard video. I actually truncated the original output from lshw. I have now updated the original post to correctly reflect that there were two entries for the lshw command.

After disabling the onboard video, this is the full output of lshw.

Code:

$ sudo lshw -c display
  *-display               
      description: VGA compatible controller
      product: DG2 [Arc A380]
      vendor: Intel Corporation
      physical id: 0
      bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0
      version: 05
      width: 64 bits
      clock: 33MHz
      capabilities: pciexpress msi pm vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom
      configuration: driver=i915 latency=0
      resources: irq:148 memory:91000000-91ffffff memory:80000000-8fffffff memory:c0000-dffff

Now there is only 1 display entry in total.

I disabled the onboard video for my motherboard by following these instructions: https://www.supermicro.com/support/faqs/...?faq=21023

(a)  BIOS settings >> Advanced >> PCI settings >> changed VGA priorities to “Off Board”, save and then exit. (b) Change JPG1 Jumper from Pin1-2 {Enable} to Pin2-3 {Disable}.

(This also had the side effect of disabling the terminal video in the motherboard management console.)

After disabling the video onboard, I tried playing a file again. However, I'm still seeing the same error: "Playback failed due to a fatal player error"

I found this error in the logs during the playback attempt. (Same as before.)
