imx6q Chromium on wayland has no hardware acceleration

[BaNe]

Hi,

we have chromium-ozone-wayland_94 running on yocto gatesgarth. It looks like it runs without hardware acceleration for CSS animations, which is making it very sluggish compared to X11 with a older chromium version.

Is there a solution for this issue?

Hi @BaNe, 

I can suggest applying the flags to run chromium with hardware acceleration as follows:

Type on the browser

chrome://flags

Then set the following flags

chrome://flags/#ignore-gpu-blocklist
chrome://flags/#enable-accelerated-video-decode
chrome://flags/#enable-gpu-rasterization

If these flags don't works please help me using the following command on chromium.

chrome://gpu

This command will help me to analyze the issue with the gpu acceleration.

Have a great day!
