libigdgmm.so.11 is supplied by intel-gmmlib ref: https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0 ... ia-driver/ package: https://slakfinder.org/sbomt64-15.0/mul ... el-gmmlib/
and vainfo is now in libva-utils in 15.0 (from vanilla slackware) (as mentioned by babam)

With updated modules intel-gmmlib-21.3.1-x86_64-1salix15.0.xzm, intel-media-driver-21.3.5-x86_64-1salix15.0.xzm, libva-utils-2.13.0-x86_64-1.xzm, one doesn't need to specify which driver e.g., LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965: the old driver is used automatically:
