[Solved] New version of intel-media-driver doesn't work with libva

Hi, I just updated intel-media-driver to 25.2.1-1 and this new version doesn't work with libva that is currently distributed.

Here's the output of vainfo:

Trying display: wayland

Re: [Solved] New version of intel-media-driver doesn't work with libva

Fixed it, the problem occured because I have intel-compute-runtime-legacy-bin installed, which updated and caused issues as it was providing intel-gmmlib for intel-media-driver.
