Chromium has no acceleration on Raspberry Pi 4 Manjaro 20.08 64 bit

Hi,

has someone working GPU acceleration within chromium. Mine says most of it is deactivated. Do I need some more libs?

In chromium “chrome://gpu” says this:

### Graphics Feature Status

* Canvas: Software only, hardware acceleration unavailable
* Flash: Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled
* Flash Stage3D: Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled
* Flash Stage3D Baseline profile: Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled
* Compositing: Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled
* Multiple Raster Threads: Enabled
* Out-of-process Rasterization: Disabled
* OpenGL: Disabled
* Hardware Protected Video Decode: Disabled
* Rasterization: Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled

No just need to run it with flags or enable it in settings.

But do you want to watch videos which gpu acceleration? Then it is not the same like in x86 video acceleration is separate than gpu acceleration for ui.

So even with GPU acceleration on the video playback will use cpu.

Here is what it shows on my PBP Chromium. This is without any tweak.

Interesting. Under raspbian OS (32 bit) this looks the same as in your screenshot. It seems that the rpi team has some problems with its 64 bit kernel and hw acceleration. MMAL is not supported (OpenMax stuff for hw accel) and there are some other issues.
