18.04 should really get the new driver, whether it's easier to do before or
after release I don't know but it should be done.
For some reason Debian hasn't added it yet but that shouldn't stop Ubuntu from
doing so.
In addition to bug symptoms there are other advantages to going to 2.1. For
example there is a new interface for EGL interop, vaAcquireSurfaceHandle() in
libva 2.1 but you need the 2.1 driver to implement.
So while the 2.1.x driver will certainly be available via ppa's before too long
Ubuntu should plan on providing in 18.04 as best achieved.
** Changed in: libva (Ubuntu)
