Bug#670377: i965 driver doesn't work on my 945GME

Wed Nov 5 14:00:26 UTC 2014

"Problem: no VA support for intel G45 and others
reason: missing i915_drv_video.so, which is not delivered by any package
solution: Should the installed i965_drv_video.so be loaded instead of
the missing i915_drv_video.so?"

After looking at the source for vainfo, I tried to load
i965 and got a segfault:

env LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965 VA_INTEL_DEBUG=1 vainfo
libva info: VA-API version 0.36.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: User requested driver 'i965'
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_36
g_intel_debug_option_flags:1
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Seems like my chipset should be supported per
