Hi, I am having the same issue. Intel gen7 + nvidia with PRIME, debian testing I have intel-media-va-driver-non-free installed and video decoding hw accel is working on vlc, but I would like to get hw acceleration on firefox
arch wiki says : [mesa-amber](https://archlinux.org/packages/?name=mesa-amber) is the legacy Mesa package which includes the classic (non-Gallium3D) drivers for Gen 2 hardware and later. This driver has better performance and stability for Gen 7 and older hardware. should we have the classic driver available as well ? nevertheless, how can I make mesa use the new driver, instead of trying to find the old one which no longer exists ? please let me know if you need any other information, thanks $ lscpu ---- Model name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz $ lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display' 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 630 (rev 04) DeviceName: Onboard IGD Subsystem: Dell HD Graphics 630 Kernel driver in use: i915 # cd /etc/ && grep -ri i965 /etc# # grep i9 /var/log/Xorg.0.log 915G, E7221 (i915), 915GM, 945G, 945GM, 945GME, Pineview GM, [ 18.703] (II) intel(0): Using Kernel Mode Setting driver: i915, version 1.6.0 20201103 [ 18.829] (II) intel(0): [DRI2] DRI driver: i965 [ 18.867] (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) [ 18.867] (EE) AIGLX error: unable to load driver i965 # xdriinfo libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to open i965: /usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (search paths /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri:\$${ORIGIN}/dri:/usr/lib/dri, suffix _dri) libGL error: failed to load driver: i965 Screen 0: swrast $ vlc [00007fd9c00043f0] gl gl: Initialized libplacebo v4.208.0 (API v208) libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to open i965: /usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (search paths /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri:\$${ORIGIN}/dri:/usr/lib/dri, suffix _dri) libGL error: failed to load driver: i965 libva info: VA-API version 1.17.0 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_17 libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0 [00007fd9e0c1ae20] avcodec decoder: Using OpenGL/VAAPI backend for VDPAU for hardware decoding
