I am having the same issue with the same version and platform.

Ledger Live 2.40.4
libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null)
spawned internal process 111549
init
Checking for update
Update for version 2.40.4 is not available (latest version: 2.40.4, downgrade is disallowed).

I wonder if this libva error is related to this old issue: https://github.com/intel/libva/issues/278

libva logs are empty when I set LIBVA_TRACE=on:

➜  ~ LIBVA_TRACE=1 ledger-live-desktop-2.40.4-linux-x86_64.AppImage

This looks like a solution: https://github.com/intel/libva/issues/278#issuecomment-1032389405

Not sure exactly what fixed it, but after a few updates came for Fedora 36 RC, including kernel and nvidia drivers, this is now working on the same version that was experiencing the issue.
