Problems launching quicksync on Ubuntu 12.04

Hi.

I've bought intel media SDK for linux and following hardware: Intel S1200V3RPL motherboard and Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3 (rev 06) CPU.

Here is what I see in my server:

 

root@ubuntu:/opt/intel/mediasdk/samples/_bin/x64# lspci -nn |grep VGA
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Matrox Electronics Systems Ltd. MGA G200e [Pilot] ServerEngines (SEP1) [102b:0522] (rev 05)


ls /dev/dri/
root@ubuntu:/opt/intel/mediasdk/samples/_bin/x64# 

There are no files in /dev/dri and VGA controller differs from what does PDF file in SDK says.

Examples are not running:

 

root@ubuntu:/opt/intel/mediasdk/samples/_bin/x64# /sample_decode_drm h264 -i bunny.h264 

Return on error: error code -3, /home/msdk/mdp_msdk-samples/samples/sample_decode/src/pipeline_decode.cpp 158

Return on error: error code 1,  /home/msdk/mdp_msdk-samples/samples/sample_decode/src/sample_decodecpp  341

 

My questions are:

1) is hardware quicksync compatible? I was told that it is compatible before I bought it, but right now I'm not 100% sure

2) what are my steps for troubleshooting this installation? Maybe I need to do something to enable dri?
