Package: vainfo Version: 2.22.0+ds1-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: t...@fastmail.com
Hello Maintainers, The current vainfo release does not support 'drm' as display driver, which fails on Debian headless/server installations: | vainfo | Trying display: wayland | Trying display: x11 | error: can't connect to X server! | error: failed to initialize display | | vainfo --display drm | error: failed to initialize display 'drm' apt installs 'libdrm2' but it seems 'libva-drm2' is no longer installed as dependency (on bookworm it did). I did the following to compile and install a local vainfo with drm display support: | apt install build-essential libtool pkg-config git libdrm-dev libva-dev | git clone https://salsa.debian.org/multimedia-team/libva-utils.git | cd libva-utils | ./autogen.sh | make && make install ldd drm from vainfo (apt) and vainfo (local): | ldd /usr/bin/vainfo | grep drm | libdrm.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdrm.so.2 (0x00007f14bbaaf000) | | ldd /usr/local/bin/vainfo | grep drm | libdrm.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdrm.so.2 (0x00007f17fcd50000) | libva-drm.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libva-drm.so.2 (0x00007f17fcd4b000) Output from vainfo (local): | vainfo | Trying display: wayland | Trying display: drm | libva info: VA-API version 1.22.0 | libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so | libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_22 | libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0 | vainfo: VA-API version: 1.22 (libva 2.22.0) | vainfo: Driver version: Intel iHD driver for Intel(R) Gen Graphics - 25.1.2 () | vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints | ... I'm not sure whether this is actually a bug or if DRM display support was intentionally left out. However, for those running Debian headless, having DRM display support would be useful.
