It does not work again on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with i965. I am not sure
whether i965_drv_video.so is packaged with the snap or not.
If I do:
```
troels@troels-ThinkPad-X230-Tablet:~$ LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965 vainfo
libva info: VA-API version 1.14.0
libva info: User environment variable requested driver 'i965'
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_10
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA-API version: 1.14 (libva 2.12.0)
vainfo: Driver version: Intel i965 driver for Intel(R) Ivybridge Mobile - 2.4.1
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints
VAProfileMPEG2Simple : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileMPEG2Simple : VAEntrypointEncSlice
VAProfileMPEG2Main : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileMPEG2Main : VAEntrypointEncSlice
VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointEncSlice

VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD

VAProfileVC1Simple : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileVC1Main : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileVC1Advanced : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileNone : VAEntrypointVideoProc
VAProfileJPEGBaseline : VAEntrypointVLD
```
However, if it force the iHD driver:
```
troels@troels-ThinkPad-X230-Tablet:~$ LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD vainfo
libva info: VA-API version 1.14.0
libva info: User environment variable requested driver 'iHD'
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_14
libva error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init failed
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 1
vaInitialize failed with error code 1 (operation failed),exit
```
So my computer does not work with the iHD driver, that I think the snap
comes packaged with. Maybe I by mistake in Ubuntu 21.10 was using the
normal packaged version of Firefox, which enabled me to use the i965 VA
driver.
