Bug#1025389: libgl1-mesa-dri: AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_dri.so

[bob_smith_1337 <bob_smith_1337@protonmail.com>]

Hi, I am having the same issue. Intel gen7 + nvidia with PRIME, debian testing

I have intel-media-va-driver-non-free installed and video decoding hw accel is working on vlc, but I would like to get hw acceleration on firefox

arch wiki says :

mesa-amber is the legacy Mesa package which includes the classic (non-Gallium3D) drivers for Gen 2 hardware and later. This driver has better performance and stability for Gen 7 and older hardware.

should we have the classic driver available as well ?

nevertheless, how can I make mesa use the new driver, instead of trying to find the old one which no longer exists ?

please let me know if you need any other information, thanks
