Sweet! Thank you for posting this. Does it retain with Openelec upgrades, or do you need to reapply each time?
Works great for me on standalone 4.0.6, very noticeable difference!

The code worked first time for me without any issues. I was very proud of myself of creating the autostart.sh command because I noticed it wasn't a persistent change and I'm as green as they come with Linux.
Logically, I don't see why this wouldn't work for any of the Celeron Asus Chromebox's, but in case this MIGHT have an effect as to why yours is not working, here is what I did from a brand spanking 100% fresh install of Openelec 4.0.6
Works great, no need for apologies. The autostart was a nice easy bit of persistence too. You should be proud. Great picture quality increase on my 47" LG.

The Prefer VAAPI Rendering is the inverted setting of "Use SW Filter". It will automatically fallback to VAAPI Rendering when you are decoding surfaces larges than 1920x1088 for peformance reasons.
Fails hard for me too. Hard crash when trying to play 1080p video on openelec current release. Glad to know you are keeping an eye on the thread though!
