Which component impacted?

Not sure

Is it regression? Good in old configuration?

No, this issue exist a long time

What happened?

I looked at the https://github.com/intel/media-driver/blob/a584e987e16cf624b664155685412a9d6937e26f/README.md, which states:

media-driver/README.md

Lines 96 to 98 in a584e98

Media driver supports below two builds
- **Full Feature Build** is ***default*** driver build, which supports all feature by hardware accelerator and close source shaders(media kernel binaries). Most of OSVs(like RHEL/SUSE/fedora) are using this build.
- **Free Kernel Build**, enables fully open source shaders(media kernels) and hardware features but the features would be limited.

The statement “Most of OSVs(like RHEL/SUSE/fedora) are using this build.” is incorrect. At least Fedora uses a stripped build with no kernels at all and no support for H.26x codecs. I suspect RHEL and SUSE are also using a stripped build for legal reasons.

What's the usage scenario when you are seeing the problem?
