the libva and the Xserver seem to be a bit outdated
yes, I know. It's the versions included in Mint 18.3 (identical to those in Ubuntu xenial). I will certainly not touch the Xserver. For libva, I tried already installing a recent version in parallel to /opt, but was never able to get this working (for such versions, softhddevice/vaapidevice always just crashed at start, which is probably since I did not correctly install this). So I am currently stuck to these versions until Mint 19 / Ubuntu bionic are released.
Nevertheless, this problem was not present with older vaapidevice/softhddevice versions, and therefore I am not sure if my Xserver and libva are too blame here.
When I resize the vaapidevice window, sometimes the image becomes cluttered with strange artefacts on it. As soon as I either display the OSD, or change window size again, the artefacts disappear again and everything seems normal.
P.S. I should add that this issue has appeared recently. It was not present in the old softhddevice pesintta code (before the project was renamed to vaapidevice and a lot of code was changed).
