Enable iGPU on OVH Servers

When I provisioned my dedicated server through OVH’s Singapore datacenter, I discovered something peculiar that many users might overlook: the integrated GPU comes disabled out of the box. This wasn’t immediately apparent until I started deploying my self-hosted services stack.

As I use this server for Immich etc. self hosted services, the iGPU provides substantial performance improvements for photo processing and optical character recognition.

The following command is for Rocky Linux 9 / RHEL 9

# vi /etc/default/grub

and remove nomodeset inside this file.

Then

# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Next, update loaders

grubby --remove-args="nomodeset" --update=ALL

Finally reboot the server, you should be able to use iGPU that comes with Intel CPU.
