POP OS 22.04 Intel Ultra Core 7 Hardware Acceleration

Happy owner of a new Ultra 7 DIY laptop. I’ve installed POP OS 22.04 and it looks like hardware acceleration is broken or not supported yet? Anyone got vaapi working? Is there a new driver I need to use?

Sorry I don’t have an answer, but I can relate to graphics troubles with Pop + Framework. I can’t remember the exact error messages I was seeing but I believe they were also related to CUDA. I finally gave up trying to get WebGPU / Unreal to work in Pop and switched to Ubuntu, and then everything “just worked” (but don’t get me started on snaps, ugh). Hope you have better luck troubleshooting and please let us know if you figure it out…

Works fine under Fedora with kernel 6.10. What kernel version is Pop! 22.04 using?

6.9, maybe I should try installing pop os 24.04 alpha or install 6.10 from ubuntu mainline.
