Is it possible to use headless Chrome on Linux with --use-gl=egl

[fludge]

Card: Intel Arc A770/16GB

I've spent days trying to configure Linux to run headless Chrome with the --use-gl=egl command line option.

I do not know at this stage if it is because this is simnply an impossible goal, or if I do not have it configured right in some way.

Can anyone confirm if this is possible or impossible?  If impossible then I can give up.

Here is the command:

DISPLAY=:0 /opt/google/chrome-unstable/chrome --headless --use-gl=egl --run-all-compositor-stages-before-draw --remote-debugging-address=0.0.0.0 --remote-debugging-port=9222 --window-size=1920,1080 --ignore-gpu-blocklist

Here is the result:

DISPLAY=:0 /opt/google/chrome-unstable/chrome   --headless  --use-gl=egl --run-all-compositor-stages-before-draw --remote-debugging-address=0.0.0.0 --remote-debugging-port=9222  --window-size=1920,1080  --ignore-gpu-blocklist
