GPU acceleration on the Chromium Web browser
Edit /etc/chromium-browser/default like this:
CHROMIUM_FLAGS=" --use-gl=egl --ignore-gpu-blacklist --disable-accelerated-2d-canvas --num-raster-threads=2"
You can see much smoother HTML rendering. Try this link to test the Webgl on the ODROID. Webgl demo
Tip: When you exit the full-screen mode, the screens goes just black from time to time.
Press “Ctrl-Alt-F2” and “Ctrl-Alt-F7” as a workaround.
Note
Preinstalled Chromium Ver-47 shows wrong video rendering when we play Youtube.
To fix the issue, you need to enable the EGL option as described in above.
Kodi crashing when exit
The Kodi(xbmc) crashes when exit.
Workaround : Open a virtual terminal (ctrl-alt-F2) and kill it.
- killall -9 kodi.bin
And return to desktop (ctrl-alt-F7)
