thanks for the reply
I managed to get the acceleration going by enabling the relevant flags (see attachment)
But that has made the issue worse, the CPU usage has gone up! Its also showing multiple instances of chromium as well, so I guess this avenue may have just been a red herring
Anyway I downloaded the desktop version (Nov 2024) and the CPU drops considerably when the browser is in full screen kiosk mode (strange)
So it looks like the issue kind of goes away with the desktop version.
Chromium does add the flag when using desktop
But on Lite or X11 it uses
I'm starting chromium using the --kiosk flags and starting X using startx
You might be able to test by disabling Wayland and labwc and just using X11
I probably would carry on using the desktop version but I can't get labwc to display my chromium browsers on the two screens in the way I need (programmatically). I feel X gives me more control
So I'm not sure if chromium is optimised with Wayland and X11 is now completely legacy or I'm missing some packages or something?
