Okay, so an older CPU that the newer intel vaapi driver is broken on.
If you just uninstall intel-media-va-driver and
intel-media-va-driver-non-free, does chromium work? You'd be relying on
the older driver from i965-va-driver at that point.

Hi Andres,
thanks for your feedback.
I'm guessing that the following is also broken for you:
vainfo
Not really broken, but

You could also try the following to see if the other intel driver
isn't
broken:
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965 vainfo
Did this used to work for you? If so, you could try downgrading
intel-media-va-driver using snapshot.debian.org (or upgrading to the
version that's in unstable, and hasn't migrated to bookworm yet).
Ok, will try that besides evtl. downgrading chromium.
Either way, chromium uses vaapi by default; so if the vaapi driver
for
your specific hardware is broken, you'll have to figure out which
combination of flags to disable it work for you (eg,
https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/tc5379/if_you_have_trouble_getting_vaapi_hardware_video/
) until you get vaapi working with your hardware.
Out of curiosity, what is the GPU and CPU that you're seeing this
iHD
driver failure on?
