Chromium 141.0.7390.65 is unusable on my AMD A8-7600 PC, while chromium-141.0.7390.54-1 works just fine. Immediately at launch, the window displays some graphic corruption like green bands, and input is so laggy I can barely type "about://gpu". These errors appear to be related: ``` $ LANG=en_US chromium-browser Warning: ../src/amd/vulkan/radv_physical_device.c:2041: Device ‘/dev/dri/renderD128’ is not using the AMDGPU kernel driver: Invalid argument (VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER) [11692:11729:1013/154641.544102:ERROR:google_apis/gcm/engine/registration_request.cc:291] Registration response error message: DEPRECATED_ENDPOINT Warning: maxDynamicUniformBuffersPerPipelineLayout artificially reduced from 500000 to 16 to fit dynamic offset allocation limit.

Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install chromium 141.0.7390.65 on an AMD A8-7600 2. Launch chromium Actual Results: Warnings about acceleration printed, graphics corrupted. Expected Results: No graphic corruption Additional Information: There were some problems with AMD A8-7600 in mesa drivers version 25.0, which were since resolved. The issue did not appear in connection with a mesa upgrade and a downgrade didn't help. Using an earlier kernel also didn't help. I've not tried switching away from Wayland.

I have made some changes in /etc/chromium/chromium.conf in version 141.0.7390.65, It could be that this change causes problem in your case. Could you please attach your /etc/chromium/chromium.conf file here so i can have a look at it? Thank you!
Created attachment 2110470 [details] /etc/chromium/chromium.conf with chromium-141.0.7390.54-1.fc41.x86_64 (In reply to Than Ngo from comment #1) > Could you please attach your /etc/chromium/chromium.conf file here so i can > have a look at it? Thanks for looking into this! Currently it's like this, but I don't know what it was before I downgraded chromium. Should I test upgrading again?
