Is it regression? Good in old configuration?

None

What happened?

When running Chromium, Chrome or anything using the CEF, the application will not start, always exiting with the following error:

Debug Information

I narrowed this down to either intel-media-driver or intel-gmmlib, so if anyone with more knowledge suspects this issue is due to gmmlib, I will post there instead.

I'm running Arch Linux, tested with Kernel Versions 6.12 and 6.13, Mesa 24.3 and Mesa 25.0.

Tested with package version: intel-media-driver 24.4.4.

GPU is the Intel Arc B580, with the 'xe' kernel driver module.
