libva error: /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so init failed

Hello robert_cz!

As Klojum Said, the exact Hardware you are using would help.

From the generic Chipset Name I think it is Intel Mobile gm965 so the GPU is a GMA X3100 which has No VAAPI Support at all.

VAAPI is Supported since Intel G45 (GMA X4500).

You can Check this yourself If you search for GMA X3100 VAAPI.

Regards

Nicolas

On this hardware I have this problem:

Code

LibreELEC:~ # vainfo
libva info: VA-API version 1.5.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_5
libva error: /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so init failed
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

Any idea?

Are you getting a blank screen after seeing the initial splash to confirm booting?
