Install the correct VA-API driver for your video card and verify VA-API has been enabled and working correctly, see Hardware video acceleration.VA-API does not work with the chromium package when using the native Wayland backend, but it does work in chromium-wayland-vaapi AUR.However, chromium from official repositories is compiled with VA-API support and you may ask for help in the dedicated forum thread. There is no official support from Chromium or Arch Linux for this feature.~/.config/nf # This line will be ignored. (This is only supported by the Chromium launcher script and will not work when using Google Chrome.)īelow is an example nf file that defines the flags -start-maximized -incognito: Lines starting with a hash symbol (#) are skipped.Flags can be placed in separate lines for readability, but this is not required.In case of improper quoting anywhere in the file, a fatal error is raised.The arguments are split on whitespace and shell quoting rules apply, but no further parsing is performed.No special syntax is used flags are defined as if they were written in a terminal. You can put your flags in a nf file under $HOME/.config/ (or under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME if you have configured that environment variable) or /etc/ for global. For Google Chrome, use nf (or chrome- nf for the Dev and Beta channels) instead. Note: The nf file and the accompanying custom launcher script are specific to the various Chromium packages.
