Bug#818035: libva not working

[Jürgen Bausa]

Source: libva
Version: 1.6.2-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I get an error running vainfo on plain jessie. Therefore I made backports of libva from
testing and installed them, but it still doesnt work. I only get a different error message.

This is what get after installing the backports for libva:

jba at lisa:~$ vainfo
libva info: VA-API version 0.38.1
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_38
vainfo: intel_memman.c:39: intel_memman_init: Assertion `intel->bufmgr' failed.
Abgebrochen
jba at lisa:~$ 

These are the backports I used:

Unfortunately I did not save the error message from plain jessie.

My system has an intel skylake cpu and Intel H170 Chipset. 

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 1912 (rev 06)

X is running fine with kernel (4.3.0-0.bpo.1-amd64) and xserver-xorg-video-intel
from jessie-backports.

Regards,

Juergen
