  • Now that you have a working setup, make a backup. Then, experiment with either starting over and only doing a few of the steps OR experiment with removing some of those parameters. Find your minimum set of working parameters this way, then you can look them up to find out more about what each parameter does that you discovered to be essential.

    I can for sure tell you that passing the render device is required for hardware transcoding, but I’m not sure what else is required. The iommu and vfio parameters are related to passing the entire gpu device into a container, but I don’t know anything about Proxmox so I can’t comment on whether that would be required for your situation.










  • Creating a driver requires a deep understanding of some pretty low-level pieces of Linux. If you’re new to Linux, you should probably start with some “new to Linux” tutorials and get an understanding of some basic command line usage. Work your way up to being able to follow a guide on compiling the Linux kernel (without any of your own modifications). After that, you can seek out guides on creating a driver.

    As a second note, fingerprint drivers are categorically difficult to work with, so this would really be jumping in on the deepest of deep ends. You can do it! But it will take a LOT of self-education.
