thanks, tried with -sw and got rid of the seg fault, but chromium still
doesn't run. log just says says Focus: focused
Resize requested to 1152x1847. FPS with software rendering would probably
be pretty bad also even if it worked

I think I'll wait for the official version of Chromium to land on the phone

Thanks guys
Jouni
