Chrome fails to launch with hardware graphics acceleration on Ubuntu+Wayland when using Nvidia proprietary driver version 535.288.01. If I use X11, it does work, but I get screen tearing on full screen videos (for example on Youtube).
On Firefox hardware GPU acceleration works fine on Wayland.

I have tried launching with the string "google-chrome-stable --ozone-platform=wayland --use-angle=vulkan --ignore-gpu-blocklist --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations,AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL --disable-gpu-process-crash-limit" but that did not help either.

Any suggestions?

Hi Jarmo,

Would you mind filing a bug about this on crbug.com, making the component Internals > GPU > Internals if you have permission to, attaching your about:gpu, and post the bug ID here? That'll be a more effective way to get the bug in the hands of the appropriate engineers and track a fix.

Your command line has a lot of options that I don't understand (hadn't heard of --render-node-override before) but in the fullness of time it's expected that Chrome will have full GPU acceleration when running on Wayland with any GPU type.

Thanks,

-Ken

not sure it's relevant but if that's DGX Spark on ARM Xorg is the only acceptable target there so far (and sadly so, they are also in Linux 6.17 and not 7).
