Intel GPU on various NUcs not getting GPU jobs

(moderation:
These are "standard" Intel GPUs (not Arc).
The reason they are not getting any GPU jobs is because of this:

Is this intentional, or is the check for the device name old and now incorrect?
(That log entry came resulted from a No work sent/see scheduler log messages on https://einsteinathome.org/host/7516538/log link).
I have 4 Intel GPUs (on 4 NUCs). Their Boinc descriptions are:
- Intel(R) Iris(R) Plus Graphics 655 [0x3ea5]
- Intel(R) UHD Graphics [0x9b41]
- Intel(R) UHD Graphics [0x9a78]
- Intel(R) Graphics [0xa7a9]

There is a way to spoof the gpu name so the project can recognize the igpu. You need to edit the coproc_info.xml file and change the gpu name and then make the file immutable so Boinc can't change it back.
But I don't remember what exactly the gpu name needs to be right now. I've never used an Intel igpu but I have a teammate that figured out what the name needs to be to get work.

Well, I edited that file to add a "1" after the "Graphics", made it immutable (chattr +i) and now have 38 GPU tasks downloaded.
Thanks!
Now to see whether that is an issue with other projects not giving me GPU jobs...
Glad you got it working. My

Glad you got it working. My teammate said this:
"I think “HD Graphics 630” probably works."
