First of all thank you for showing us this workaround.  I read about drirc and
found about driconf too and how we can set those options.  Using this syntax
though: "always_flush_cache=true always_flush_batch=true
/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable & exit" runs chrome and closes the terminal right
after and I guess this seems to be a better way to handle a temporary situation
than changing dri settings and then changing them back to what they were when a
fix is released.

I'd like to ask what the drawbacks for these two settings are though.  Are they
slowing things down for the specific app that's using them for example?
