Similarly, not identically, hardware configured. Same OS & s/w

Hm. Perhaps an "Aha!" moment ... ??
I've been issuing both box's `vainfo` commands in terminals opened on
box #1.
In that case,
@ box #1
vainfo
libva info: VA-API version 0.33.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open
/usr/local/lib64/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_33
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA-API version: 0.33 (libva 1.1.1.pre1)
vainfo: Driver version: Splitted-Desktop Systems VDPAU
backend for VA-API - 0.7.5.pre1
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints

VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileVC1Simple : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileVC1Main : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileVC1Advanced : VAEntrypointVLD
@ box #2
> Do you at least see the "vainfo: Driver version:" message?
NOT if i exec `vainfo` in the box #2 terminal window on box #1. i.e., I
see:
vainfo
libva info: VA-API version 0.33.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open
/usr/local/lib64/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_33
Floating point exception
BUT,
> - XOpenDisplay() failed -- do you have a correct DISPLAY or are you
> issuing vainfo right from box #2 terminal ?
if i open a terminal *ON* box #2, and exec `vainfo` _there_, it works!
vainfo
libva info: VA-API version 0.33.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open
/usr/local/lib64/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_33
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA-API version: 0.33 (libva 1.1.1.pre1)
vainfo: Driver version: Splitted-Desktop Systems VDPAU
backend for VA-API - 0.7.5.pre1
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints
VAProfileMPEG2Simple : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileMPEG2Main : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileVC1Simple : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileVC1Main : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileVC1Advanced : VAEntrypointVLD
I _believe_ I have "correct DISPLAY". At least, while ON box #1, in a
terminal window opened to a box #2 shell, I can:
(1) verify
echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0
(2) launch a graphical/ncurses app, e.g. `mc`
(3) launch a remote X app, e.g., `xterm`
TBH, I don't know if that's what `vainfo` is expecting ...
So, before digging around further for
> There are multiple bugs:
> ...

since `vainfo` seems to work when exec'd ON the physical box #2, is it
PEBKAC & "problem solved"? Or are there still issues here?
Cheers.
p.s. Out of curiosity, I removed my DIY'd vainfo installs, and prereqs,
and installed `vainfo`, as provided by distro's packaging on both
machines -- and find that THAT instance fails -- exactly as reported
here -- in ALL cases: on both boxes, regardless of whether via shell
@remote or @local terminal.
