Hi Nathan,

Quick update: I have tried modifying Chromium profile file per your
instructions and indeed this silenced the error message. But it had zero
effect on the GPU bug. I also installed updated kernel which arrived
today and observed no changes either.

$ uname -a
Linux xxxxxx 5.19.0-35-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Feb 3
18:36:56 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I am less interested in chromium, which I do not normal use, so haven't
tried installing from beta channel yet. But I doubt this would be
different since Firefox shows the same issue with the GPU acceleration
enabled.

Thanks,

Ivan
