I'm seeing the same on a laptop running trusty with an intel GM965 GPU. Version 53 has hardware-accelerated support for most graphic features, version 58 doesn't.
The "problems detected" section of chrome://gpu says: Mesa drivers older than 10.4.3 is crash prone on Linux Intel i965gm: 462426 And it links to https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=462426. Trusty has mesa 10.1.3. So this is expected. @indigocat: would you mind attaching the entire output of chrome://gpu (can be saved as an html page)? ** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1687213 Title: All video acceleration flags *disabled* in Chromium 58.0.3029.81-0ubuntu0.14.04.1172, tearing ensues To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1687213/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
