Where is this file from? i965-va-driver ships i965_drv_video.so, but not
i915_drv_video.so and never has as far as I can tell. Did you create a
symlink like Dominique?

If libva doesn't load i965-va-driver automatically your hardware is
probably not supported by i965-va-driver.  If I'm not mistaken, anything
before GMA 4500 series GPUs is unsupported. So it doesn't make sense to
ship the symlink since the driver wouldn't work with i915 hardware
anyway.

But anyway, new versions have been uploaded in the meantime. What's the
status of this bug with 1.3.1-1?
