Other than this, not that I know of.

I see nothing in chromium's rather minimal man page. I also tried
several command line switches in
https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/, to no
avail.

Alas, chromium never gets far enough to deliver useful information.

charles@jhegaala:~$ chromium chrome://gpu
libva error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init failed
^C
Killed
charles@jhegaala:~$ 

I did a killall -9 in another window to kill it.

There are no crash reports.

I looked in the two bug report sites mentioned in the man page for
chromium, and did not see anything that looked relevant.

I tried removing intel-media-va-driver |
intel-media-va-driver-non-free, which required removing va-driver-all.
No go. chromium just sits there as a background process, and I have to
kill it.
