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
