1208846 - Startup crash on replicant 4.2

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[wowie]

Attachment: logcat.txt

Fennec immediately crashes on startup on replicant with the following error: No available EGL configurations. Complete logcat is attached.
It seems that eglChooseConfig fails with numConfigs[0]<=0. Would it be possible to provide a fallback there instead of an exception?

Snorp, any ideas what could be going on here?

fwiw, I don't think we officially support replicant (though are happy to take patches, provided they don't cause too many complications!).

While this is an old post Replicant has a buggy or incomplete support of GL 2.0 or better. The ROM would need to fix this. We have never supported GL 1.1 or lower. Most of the OpenGL ES driver code is not FOSS so it was removed from Replicant.

Yeah, we need GLES2.

Just chiming in to say this still exists on replicant 6.0. Crash report with subject mozilla::gl::GLContextEGLFactory::Create.
