Is there any way to trick Resolve into recognizing an Intel 5500 GPU? Am running "amd64" kernel with an OpenGL renderer, but nothing appears in the GPU selection pull-down after the "Unsupported GPU Processing Mode" error. TIA

Probably not. See Archwiki:

It does mention that openCL drivers are incompatible (proprietary nVidia CL drivers work) and removing any openCL packages you have installed might allow you to get around the current error screen.

I've read it can be run on Windows with Intel GPUs of the same era as yours although performance is reported to be slow & some functions don't work.
