Thanks, I didn't know about either of those :-)
Sadly, `vainfo` doesn't tell me much more info than that it fails:
% vainfo
libva info: VA-API version 1.20.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_20
libva error: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init failed
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 1

libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

But at least, it seems to indicate that my problems don't have to do
with Firefox.

Indeed that gives me the same error message:
% /usr/lib/firefox-esr/vaapitest -d /dev/dri/renderD128
ERROR
VA-API test failed: failed to initialise VAAPI connection.

I can't see any "verbose" option for those so I tried `strace`:
% strace vainfo

I'm not even sure which of the two drivers is supposed to work :-(
