I didn't know that about modesetting driver, anyway, even with LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE=1 same thing happens.
Maybe chromium doesn't pass on the environment variable to its GPU helper process, or maybe there was still a chromium process around.
I don't how to disable tripple buffering to test it and if it's possible,
Only by changing the code, mesa/src/loader/loader_dri3_helper.c:dri3_update_num_back(). E.g. set num_back = 1 in the else case.
