Description

I am trying to enable hardware accelation for firefox. This only works with the libva-intel-driver.

My System:

Ubuntu 20.04
Iris Plus Graphics G7
i7-1065G7

I get the following output for vainfo:

> libva info: VA-API version 1.7.0
> libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_6
libva error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so init failed
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

Is this a bug or is the gpu just not supported by libva-intel-driver?
