Hardware Acceleration issues

English Hardware

I have an NVIDIA card with proprietary drivers installed, on Leap 16, Plasma and Wayland. I’m trying to enable hardware acceleration on chromium (brave browser).

This is the output of vainfo:

Trying display: wayland
libva info: VA-API version 1.22.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib64/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

Following the Arch wiki, I was trying to set the LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME env variable, but looking into /usr/lib64/dri, it looks like there is no .so for NVIDIA.

Perhaps this is not the way one should setup VAAPI on OpenSuse? Is there a way to do it with my current setup?

Maybe this one:
