[Qtwebengine] open files

[Andras Becsi]

Hi Tom,

With an embedded device running X11 I do not think you can get much 
better performance, unless the device is really powerfull.

To use ozone, you need a platform implementation, and we only provide it 
for eglfs (ozone_platform_eglfs.cpp). Also use_ozone=1 is probably 
conflicting with desktop_linux=1, and ozone_platform_dri is just an 
implementation of the ozone layer withing chromium, which won't work 
with Qt.

As I wrote previously this setup is not supported hence not tested, so 
your crash is probably also caused by the heavy X11 setup.

I'm not sure 60000 is even a valid value for ulimit, you could try 
setting a more realistic limit (ulimit -Sn 8192) according to:
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/180063/chrome-too-many-files-open-crash-sorry-jim

You probably mean 5.4.1 here.

For these kind of issues you can always google for Chromium problems 
since if you see something rendered by Qt and it runs, then the Qt layer 
basically works and the issue is most probably in the Chromium setup 
and/or the system setup, so other people might also encounter it.
