    On this hardware I have this problem:

    vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

    Any idea?

  • 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

    Any idea?

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