Thing is, the apparent symptom is fixed, but video acceleration is still missing in comparison to chromium-browser 53; the black screen in chromium is a known bug that appears when hardware acceleration via "ignore gpu blacklist" is enabled (visible as well in version 53). What's happening in version 58 is under default settings, not forced flags.
