In my test, the 104.0.5112.79 version maybe the final vaapi workable release for wayland Qzoneplatform.

The recent releases both of 105 and 106's vaapi trigger only be succeed for x11 session, and even for x11 there're laggy gpu render problem and video decoding laggy problem for that.

On my Intel Coffeelake (Gen9) on intel-media-driver/ Nvidia Pascal Optimus system with the DGPU disabled I can't get vaapi with vulkan enable, however it works with these flags:

--enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder,VaapiVideoEncoder
--disable-features=UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder
--ignore-gpu-blocklist
--enable-hardware-overlays
--enable-oop-rasterization
--enable-raw-draw
--enable-gpu-rasterization
--enable-gpu-compositing

Is chromium working for you? for me is not even launching on manjaro compute(may be its needed to wait only)

@hedgepigdaniel Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, the patch seems more like a preparation to support VA-API on wayland and it does not work for me. Could you share your flags if it works for you?

@emilss @nihil21 Extra flags may break VA-API support. On my machine, enable vulkan make VA-API unavailable although about:gpu page still show Video Decode: Hardware accelerated. Try remove all flags in your config and add the flags you actually needed. Make sure VA-API work with X11 first, then add the flags for native wayland support.

@mars you may want to update this to use the more up to date patch here: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/3646633

Unluckily those flags do not work for me, intel_gpu_top shows that the iGPU is not being used. If I launch chromium from the command line it outputs:

[491455:491455:0905/233502.709740:ERROR:vaapi_wrapper.cc(2389)] vaCreateSurfaces (import mode) failed, VA error: resource allocation failed
[491455:491455:0905/233502.709815:ERROR:vaapi_picture_native_pixmap_ozone.cc(66)] Failed creating VASurface for NativePixmap

Got it working on Wayland with amdgpu (RX 6700 XT). Here is my ~/.config/chromium-flags.conf:

--ignore-gpu-blocklist
--enable-gpu-rasterization
--enable-zero-copy
--force-dark-mode
--enable-features=WebUIDarkMode,CanvasOopRasterization,VaapiVideoDecoder,VaapiVideoEncoder
--disable-features=UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder
--use-vulkan
--ozone-platform-hint=auto
--enable-hardware-overlays

The most important flags that did the trick are: --ozone-platform-hint=auto, --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder, --disable-features=UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder and --enable-hardware-overlays. Not sure if they work for integrated graphics.

@usuariopolivalen would you mind sharing the flags you wrote in ~/.configs/chromium-flags? I tried to install this patched version of Chromium but hardware acceleration does not seem to work on Wayland. I'm using the intel-media-driver, and vainfo reports that the driver is configured correctly, so I guess the problem is in the flags I used.
