If x11-libs/libva-vdpau-driver is installed and the system has nvidia graphics, a segfault from Firefox' glxtest is recorded each time firefox is started, or the binary is launched to handle an URL. I have raised a bugreport about this in the Mozilla bugtracker: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1787182 and have been made aware that the cause is that the depcreacted x11-libs/libva-vdpau-driver library does not support x11-libs/libva-vdpau-driver and crashes. Example trace: --- #0 XDisplayString (dpy=0x0) at /usr/src/debug/x11-libs/libX11-1.8.1/libX11-1.8.1/src/Macros.c:119 #1 0x00007fccbf6a5fc5 in vdpau_common_Initialize (driver_data=0x7fccbd5df200) at /usr/src/debug/x11-libs/libva-vdpau-driver-0.7.4-r5/libva-vdpau-driver-0.7.4/src/vdpau_driver.c:188 #2 vdpau_Initialize_Current (ctx=0x7fcccc12fc40) at /usr/src/debug/x11-libs/libva-vdpau-driver-0.7.4-r5/libva-vdpau-driver-0.7.4/src/vdpau_driver_template.h:561 #3 __vaDriverInit_1_15 (ctx=0x7fcccc12fc40) at /usr/src/debug/x11-libs/libva-vdpau-driver-0.7.4-r5/libva-vdpau-driver-0.7.4/src/vdpau_driver.c:317 #4 0x00007fccbf6bce4c in () at /usr/lib64/libva.so.2 #5 0x00007fccbf6bdfc6 in vaInitialize () at /usr/lib64/libva.so.2 --- vaGetDisplayDRM() doesn't fill ->x11_dpy, causing the segfault. More detail in the linked report. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install x11-libs/libva-vdpau-driver on a system with nvidia card. 2. Launch Firefox, or call the API manually. Actual Results: Segfault. Expected Results: Works. Reading through the bugreport and looking at the time of the last update of x11-libs/libva-vdpau-driver, it seems questionable whether it is worth fixing the bug or last-riting the package (it seems other distributions have dropped it already). Currently, media-tv/kodi[vdpau] seems to depend on it.
[...] depcreacted x11-libs/libva-vdpau-driver library does not support x11-libs/libva-vdpau-driver and crashes. => [...] deprecated x11-libs/libva-vdpau-driver library does not support vaGetDisplayDRM and crashes.
I suspect we should remove x11-libs/libva-vdpau-driver. It's quite dead (see https://cgit.freedesktop.org/vaapi/vdpau-driver/).

(In reply to Matt Turner from comment #2) > I suspect we should remove x11-libs/libva-vdpau-driver. It's quite dead (see > https://cgit.freedesktop.org/vaapi/vdpau-driver/). A replacement based on NVDEC exists at https://github.com/elFarto/nvidia-vaapi-driver/ I haven't had a chance to test it yet but it compiles successfully. FWIW

It's quite dead (see Now that x11-libs/libva-vdpau-driver has been masked for removal, I am getting the following: $ sudo emerge -avuDN @world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

The Steam overlay needs to update from x11-libs -> media-libs for libva: emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "x11-libs/libva:0/2[abi_x86_32]". (dependency required by "games-util/steam-client-meta-0-r20220819::steam-overlay[-steamruntime]" [ebuild]). It's not related to this bug per se.
