After updating media-libs/mesa from version 24.0.9 to version 24.1.3 and above, the following problems appeared:
- the screen freezes after launching firefox
- the screen freezes when playing videos in telegram-desktop-bin

If media-libs/mesa is built without the "vaapi" USE flag, then the problems disappear.

What to do? Disable vaapi?

This was due to some library linking changes within mesa. The next release (and stable release) will have merge request targets/va: Build va driver into libgallium when building with dri which will fix the issue. Either add the merge request as a user patch under /etc/portage/patches or use 9999 in the meantime to keep VA-API happy.
