My undestaing is that using EGL/dma-buf would only benfit users using DRM (Wayland) instead of X11 (Xorg).

EGL works just fine in X.

@prodrigestivill

I’m speculating here but I would say that all current X11 apps/browsers using libva use GLX instead of EGL, is that correct?

Incorrect. They use EGL. Well, I have no clue what Chromium does, but mpv, VLC, Kodi all use EGL.
