Until Chromium gets back hardware acceleration enabled as default - I'm using a workaround which might be usefuly for others as well:
1. Download and install Google Chrome for Ubuntu here: https://www.google.de/chrome/browser/desktop/ 2. Link your Chromium profile directory to chrome: ln -s ~/.config/chromium ~/.config/google-chrome 3. Start using chrome instead of chromium ... and enjoy GPU hardware acceleration :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1463598 Title: Chromium 43 fails to use hardware acceleration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1463598/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
