    Have you faced real issues namely with hardware acceleration?

    Other than this, not that I know of.


    iHD driver is tied first, but your graphics card is too old for it,
    so i965 loaded next. I am unsure if it is possible to suppress
    attempt to load iHD and so to avoid an error message e.g. by setting
    some environment variable.

    I see nothing in chromium's rather minimal man page. I also tried
    several command line switches in https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/, to no
    avail.


    chrome://gpu may provide more info.


    Alas, chromium never gets far enough to deliver useful information.

    charles@jhegaala:~$ chromium chrome://gpu
    libva error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init failed
    ^C
    Killed
    charles@jhegaala:~$

    I did a killall -9 in another window to kill it.

    There are no crash reports.

    I looked in the two bug report sites mentioned in the man page for
    chromium, and did not see anything that looked relevant.

    I tried removing intel-media-va-driver |
    intel-media-va-driver-non-free, which required removing va-driver-all.
    No go. chromium just sits there as a background process, and I have to
    kill it.
