Dear Maintainer,

When I try to view certain videos (one example is at
http://br1an.fastmail.fm.user.fm/debian/The_Banshees_Of_Inisherin.mp4 [4MB movie trailer] )
xine aborts/is killed immediately (sometimes after 1/2 sec of sound, but
never any video).

The following messages appear on the commandline where I ran xine:
libva info: VA-API version 1.17.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  150 (XVideo)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  13 ()
  Value in failed request:  0x2
  Serial number of failed request:  772
  Current serial number in output stream:  774

Let me know if there's things I can do to troubleshoot this further.

Hey Torsten,

Could you help here?

Since I have successfully watched this video in the past, I decided to try rolling back some of the recent package upgrades I've done, in attempt to see which one broke this.
I've learned that if I downgrade xserver-xorg-video-intel to 2:2.99.917+git20161206-1 (and xserver-xorg-core to 2:1.19.2-1+deb9u8) the problem goes away, and I can watch the video.

The following three combinations of packages trigger the problem:
v1/buster
xserver-xorg-core 2:1.20.4-1+deb10u9
xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.917+git20180925-2

v2/bullseye
xserver-xorg-core 1.20.11-1+deb11u3
xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.99.917+git20200714-1+deb11u1

v3/bookworm
xserver-xorg-core 21.1.7-2
xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.99.917+git20210115-1

(v1, v2, and v3 differ only in those two packages)

I can go to snapshot.debian.org and bisect between the Stretch and the Buster if you think that would be useful.

More details about my system:
This is a "Mac Mini (Mid 2007)" with a Intel 945-something chipset with a GMA 950 video hardware.
