Hi Nonvidea,

Thank you for posting in Intel Communities.

We know how challenging it is to activate something without any guides. We will do our best to assist you.

Kindly provide the following information, so we can provide you viable recommendations for your concern:

1. If you say you want to enable S3D, do you mean you want to enable 3D Acceleration?

2. What is your Linux Type, Version and Distribution version?

3. It would really help us if we can get more information about your system. Please download and run our Intel® System Support Utility from this page, https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/18895/intel-system-support-utility-for-the-linux-operating-system.html.

You can view the instructions on how to run this application on the readme file included on the download.

The steps below are from the readme file:

How to run ssu.sh from the terminal

==========================

· Open Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

· From the current director, navigate to the current folder where the ssu.sh file resides. For example if you saved the ssu.sh to a folder called "SSU File" the command would be: cd "SSU File"

· Run the ssu.sh file using this command: ./ssu.sh <parameter=0|1> where 0 = off and 1 = enabled

· Use the parameter definitions included in the readme to determine which parameter to use.

· If no parameter is specified and only ./ssu.sh is run, it will capture all system information with the exception of 3rd party logs which must be specified. If no output file is specified, the SSU will write the output to file <sytemname>.txt.

We will wait for your response.

Best Regards,

Thank you for answering!

What I'm trying to do is activate 3d - stereo / also known as quadbuffer (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000030190/graphics.html). I don't know if the arc A380 is capable of doing it. As far as I know arc is using the same drivers as UHD and iris. I have various linux distributions debian(sid),arch and gentoo to name a few.

Will supply logs at later date ... can't do it atm.

Hi Nonvidea,

Thank you for your initial answers.

We will be waiting for the logs as it is vital in determining if you can activate that feature in your system.

Hi Nonvidea,

We need to close this thread since we have not gotten a response from you: maybe because you are busy or preoccupied at the moment.

We hope for your consideration and understanding on this one.
