what is this ? VAAPI connection ?
Hello teamsters !!
What does this here mean ? Here is running TB 118.0b3 :
linux@home ~/Downloads/thunderbird $ ./thunderbird [GFX1-]: vaapitest: ERROR [GFX1-]: vaapitest: VA-API test failed: failed to initialise VAAPI connection.
ATTENTION: default value of option mesa_glthread overridden by environment. ATTENTION: default value of option mesa_glthread overridden by environment.
Is this safe ? What is vaapitest ? and What is VAAPI connection ?

VAAPI (Video Acceleration API) is an open-source library and API specification, which provides access to graphics hardware acceleration capabilities for video processing.
Maybe you have 'hardware acceleration' switched on and it needs to be switched off.
- Settings > General
- scroll to the bottom
- Uncheck: 'Use hardware acceleration when available'
- Restart Thunderbird.
Hmmm ... this did only help partially :
Error messages output is reduced by half :
linux@home ~/Downloads/thunderbird $ ./thunderbird [GFX1-]: vaapitest: ERROR [GFX1-]: vaapitest: VA-API test failed: failed to initialise VAAPI connection.
... this still appears in terminal at Linux (Solus 4.4).

re : Something wrong with NVIDIA drivers ?
It's worth checking that they are up to date.
