Additional info:

A symlink radeonsi_drv_video.so -> gallium_drv_video.so in /usr/lib64/dri seems to fix this problem. No more error message.

Comment 1 Didier G 2015-07-21 17:27:45 UTC

Symlink radeonsi_drv_video.so -> gallium_drv_video.so in /usr/lib64/dri suppress firefox error messages but it break totem whi message: "GStreamer encountered a general stream error." 

In log with symlink:

juil. 21 19:21:07 lx-xxxxxx org.gnome.Totem[1896]: libva info: VA-API version 0.37.0
juil. 21 19:21:07 lx-xxxxxx org.gnome.Totem[1896]: libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
juil. 21 19:21:07 lx-xxxxxx org.gnome.Totem[1896]: libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib64/dri/radeonsi_drv_video.so
juil. 21 19:21:07 lx-xxxxxx org.gnome.Totem[1896]: libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_37
juil. 21 19:21:07 lx-xxxxxx org.gnome.Totem[1896]: libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0


Changed component form firefox to mesa

Comment 2 Didier G 2015-07-22 02:02:12 UTC

Tested with vainfo.

There is definitively a problem with va-api:


$ vainfo
libva info: VA-API version 0.37.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib64/dri/radeonsi_drv_video.so
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

I believe the fix you want is http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2015-December/103585.html. I created and applied to openSUSE: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/349699.

The patch created the named drivers that libva is expected which is consistent with drivers for everything else.

Comment 4 Igor Gnatenko 2016-03-20 13:53:08 UTC

should be fixed.
