Is there a setting to disable ANGLE in Chrome?

The Body Browser works for me - I think your problem is due to an outdated driver. AMD releases graphics drivers every month.

[Ahmed Harthi]

I can't install the latest drivers for my laptop, hp dose not offer them and I can't use the ones in the AMD's website. 

If it is the drivers, why Chrome dose not have this problem?

I think FF4b7 dose not have this problem on my machine. (I'll check and reply)

In addition to the above.
This problem does not happen on Ubuntu10.04.1 installed on same hardware and default setting without webgl.enabled_for_all_sites to true.

Chrome's and Firefox's implementations of WebGL are different in sufficiently many ways, that one can hit a driver bug that the other doesn't.

This bug is certainly a driver bug.

Please do.

Same problem in FF4b7.

I have updated the driver and the problem is gone :)

Now you can update the driver for your laptop directly from www.AMD.com :D

(Toshiba, Sony and Panasonic are excluded)

Since this is only a bad-rendering bug, and it won't happen with default preferences (since by default we use ANGLE for rendering on Windows) and is fixed anyway in current driver (comment 13), closing this bug.

Comment 15

[Alice0775 White]

Why close the bug?
It happens on clean profile and latest driver.

The bug title says "webgl.prefer_gl true". This is incompatible with saying "clean profile". Which one is true?

Comment 18

[Alice0775 White]

I mean "clean profile"

Comment 19

[Benoit Jacob [:bjacob] (mostly away)]

So the bug title, saying "webgl.prefer_gl true", is wrong? If this bug happens without this preference set, the title needs to be edited.

OK  I'm not a original reporter. And I misread the title.
And I revert the status of bug.

I filed a new Bug 622094.

Comment 21

[Benoit Jacob [:bjacob] (mostly away)]

I just thought about the fact that we still are relying on the user to install the DirectX runtime (the plan is to no longer rely on that in final FF4).

So the confusion could easily come from there. In the absence of DirectX runtime, it falls back to opengl.

Please try with the DirectX runtime installed.

For me, this does not happen with ANGLE. Only with GL.
