### Describe the issue
`LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=radeonsi vainfo` gives:
```
kmsro: driver missing
libva error: /usr/lib/dri/radeonsi_drv_video.so init failed
vaInitialize failed with error code 2 (resource allocation failed),exit
```
While the driver is installed correctly and shows up in `/usr/lib/dri/` and confirmed this with mpv and radeontop and intel_gpu_top. so the hardware decoding works on the AMDGPU, however, the application Parsec expects the VAAPI and for the `radeonsi` it crashes for some reason.
**Is there a way to force the use of VAAPI on the other renderer, in this case `renderD129`?**
Because it works with the following flags:
`vainfo --display drm --device /dev/dri/card1` gives the correct vainfo output.
```
> vainfo --display drm --device /dev/dri/renderD129
