The Intel i965 VA-API driver works well in Xorg sessions (Unity7 and Gnome Shell). But it refuses to load when in a Wayland session:

$ totem bbb_sunflower_1080p_60fps_normal.mp4
libva error: va_getDriverName() failed with unknown libva error,driver_name=(null)

$ env LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965 totem bbb_sunflower_1080p_60fps_normal.mp4
