Unfortunately, enabling wayland with the current 1.2.1 libva may still lead to a crashy library when used in a non-wayland environment.

I'm open to review any tested suggestion in order to fulfill the request, but just enabling wayland support in libva will not fit. One way to achieve this would be to build an alternative libva with wayland enabled. But selecting the right libva.so.1 to use would need to be determined.

Another solution would be to sort this issue by upstream.

Comment 2 Mykola Dvornik 2014-01-12 20:59:19 UTC
Would it be possible to make a scratch build with wayland support on board?

Comment 3 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2014-01-14 08:45:53 UTC
it should be very easy for you to test:
fedpkg clone libva -a
add "%define _with_wayland 1" on top of the libva.spec
fedpkg build
