Seems related but I don't know what's causing the failure.
~ $ ls -l /usr/lib64/*vdpau* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Apr 4 18:26 /usr/lib64/libvdpau_nvidia.so -> vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so.550.67 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar 1 20:47 /usr/lib64/libvdpau.so -> libvdpau.so.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Mar 1 20:47 /usr/lib64/libvdpau.so.1 -> libvdpau.so.1.0.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 18408 Mar 1 20:47 /usr/lib64/libvdpau.so.1.0.0
No idea if any of that is relevant or not.
If I run vainfo under Wayland I get: ~ $ vainfo Trying display: wayland libva info: VA-API version 1.20.0 libva info: User environment variable requested driver 'vdpau' libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib64/dri/vdpau_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_20 libva error: /usr/lib64/dri/vdpau_drv_video.so init failed libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1 vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit The exact text of the error dialog after trying to run Kmail under Wayland and then going back to X11 is: "The Email progam encountered a fatal error and will terminate now. The error was: Timeout trying to get lock."
