Troubleshooting • Re: Chromium hardware acceleration Xorg Bookworm Lite

You might be able to test by disabling Wayland and labwc and just using X11

Yup, when I said it looks okay on this end, I meant I tried it and it worked fine.

I've read in this post that HW acceleration is not supported for Xorg under bookworm - could anyone confirm?

The linked post doesn't say that. Someone is just speculating that it won't be in the future, without referencing any source.

or I'm missing some packages or something

What packages are you installing

I can't reproduce the issue based on the information provided so far. Admittedly I didn't spot that you were using a lite image initially, so I was testing with a desktop image running X11, but I suspect that it will work just fine with a lite image, because it's something I've tested recently as well.

Before I try again, I'd need something like this, but with the minimal, simplest, steps you take to see the issue:

1) Flash armhf lite image dated blah onto a card and boot on a pi 4
2) Run through the first user setup, run apt update, full-upgrade and reboot
3) apt install chromium xinit openbox
4) Put this into ~/.xinitrc: (your commands)
5) Run startx, wait for chromium to open and go to about://gpu - see that HW acceleration is disabled
