WebGL Browser support
« on: November 09, 2012, 09:24:51 pm »
Hey, I wanted to start and so some awesome stuff with WebGL but it looks as if my browser doesn't support it.
I have Chromium, this version: Version 22.0.1229.94 (161065) and i'm running on archlinux
my html code looks like this (from a tutorial to test if it's working):
Code: [Select]
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function initWebGL(canvas) {
// Initialize the global variable gl to null.
gl = null;

try {
// Try to grab the standard context. If it fails, fallback to experimental.
gl = canvas.getContext("webgl") || canvas.getContext("experimental-webgl");
}
catch(e) {}

// If we don't have a GL context, give up now
if (!gl) {
alert("Unable to initialize WebGL. Your browser may not support it.");
}
}
function doFirst() {
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");

initWebGL(canvas);      // Initialize the GL context

// Only continue if WebGL is available and working

if (gl) {
gl.clearColor(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);                      // Set clear color to black, fully opaque
gl.enable(gl.DEPTH_TEST);                               // Enable depth testing
gl.depthFunc(gl.LEQUAL);                                // Near things obscure far things
gl.clear(gl.COLOR_BUFFER_BIT|gl.DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);      // Clear the color as well as the depth buffer.
}
}
window.addEventListener('load',doFirst,false);
</script>
</head>
<body onload="start()">
<canvas id="canvas" width="640" height="480">
Internet explorer SUCKS! :P
</canvas>
</body>
</html>

Does it pop up with the error message? It works fine for me in Chrome (beta channel).

Chrome should support WebGL since version 9.

Maybe the Linux build of Chrome doesn't support WebGL? Though I can't see a reason why not.

EDIT: Is WebGL disabled in chrome://flags/?

You un-checked the checkbox, right?

And did you restart Chrome afterwards?

Do you have 3D graphics acceleration?

easiest way:

glxinfo | grep rendering

it should say:

Direct Rendering: Yes

which means you have 3D acceleration. If it says no, you don't, and it's probably a driver issue.

It might get some other stuff too, but only the Direct Rendering line matters.

Hmmmmm.....

I'm assuming you have a method of installing packages from the AUR. If so, try installing google-chrome. That will be the official build, so it has the flash plugin, and it might handle webGL a bit differently. Worth a try, at least.
