I am trying to set up hw accelerated encoding and decoding using quicksync. I checked all of the requirements listed in the R3 Getting started manual and based all the requirements seem to be met.
I followed the new R3 installation notes of Intel Media Server Studio, specifically the gold version install. I've set up the "Development and Creative Workstation" base environment, done all the prerequisite steps and ran the install script. Everything seems to go perfectly, however that's not the case. While the /opt/intel/mediasdk/ is properly populated (it is missing the builder folder tho), however, the graphics card device node is nowhere to be found in /dev/dri, as the dri folder doesn't even exist.
vainfo returns this:
error: can't connect to X server!
error: failed to initialize display
Aborted (core dumped)
I've checked dmesg logs and found this ():
Initialized drm/i915 compat module 20170620-16.5.2-64009-k422e5bf

I've set the Primary Display in BIOS as AUTO, since choosing IGFX makes the computer unable to even reach BIOS and needs to have BIOS settings reset by taking out and then putting back the motherboard battery in. Integrated graphics are set to ENABLED.
I have no idea what else could go wrong, so I decided to ask for help here. Any ideas on what could go wrong? as I don't even know where the problem is, much less how to fix it right now.
Thanks in advance
I really do hope I am posting this in the right forums.
