WebGL no longer works on my laptop with the Intel X driver. In other words, bug 605992 has regressed. Using nightlies, I found that it was working on the 2010-12-03 Linux nightly, the last day before vlad disabled WebGL on Linux. However, WebGL has been re-enabled on Linux, and it's broken; in a debug build I see: WARNING: Failed to create GLXContext!: file /home/dbaron/builds/mozilla-central/mozilla/gfx/thebes/GLContextProviderGLX.cpp, line 287 I'd guess the most likely cause of the regression is http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/056814244ceb , but I haven't verified that yet.

Backing out the gfx/thebes/GLContextProviderGLX.cpp changes in that patch does in fact fix this (though of course I now have to use MOZ_GLX_IGNORE_BLACKLIST=1).

Ah, sorry. I have a patch kind of ready in bug 616416, will make it ready when I can. But of course intel drivers are blacklisted by default, as you note.

I can make WebGL demos work with 4.0b11 on my Intel Kubuntu 10.10 box by doing the export trick. I raised #632578 about the surprise WebGL not actually working unless you have one particular type of video card or go fiddling at the command line. This is KDE4.6 from the Kubuntu backports PPA, Intel X drivers from x-org updates (so it's not quite stock, but version 2.13.901 rather than 2.12.something, but without the update, you can see individual tiles being painted in all X apps :-) ).

Will look ASAP, but this isn't a 4.0 blocker so I may not prioritize it right now.
Sadly, the OpenGL tests pass maybe 70% as far as it gets, then FireFox crashes. I suspect this means Intel needs to stay blacklisted for 4.0 release.
Oops, here is the crash : https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/74f8860a-90ea-4083-b444-8ff9f2110209 I didn't bother with an empty profile or anything. It's clear WebGL, at least using the intel X driver, is dead for now, and Mozilla's intent is to launch with a black/white list of drivers that work/break <shrug>. So at least it might be possible to turn it on if it works later. See you on the 4.1 beta :-/

@ timeless, don't worry about this crash, the only way to hit this crash is to bypass the driver blacklist by defining an environment variable.

If we assume the extension is GLX, then the requests are X_GLXCreateContext, X_GLXQueryVersion, and X_GLXDestroyContext.
Retesting this on dbaron's laptop shows that the teapot demo works when WebGL is force-enabled, but disallows the webgl otherwise. ('...does not support WebGL') Trying MapsGL froze the whole system.
about:support will tell you why it decided to blacklist this driver.
Adapter Description Tungsten Graphics, Inc -- Mesa DRI Intel(R) Sandybridge Mobile GEM 20100330 DEVELOPMENT Driver Version 2.1 Mesa 7.10.2 WebGL Renderer Blocked for your graphics driver version. Try updating your graphics driver to version Mesa 7.10.3 or newer. (This isn't the same laptop, but it's still Intel graphics running on Ubuntu... though a newer Ubuntu.)
I'm puzzled by the status of the support for Intel Mesa drivers and Webgl. The wiki page says that Webgl is enabled by default for Mesa >7.10.3 https://wiki.mozilla.org/Blocklisting/Blocked_Graphics_Drivers#On_X11 However, my card is blacklisted even though I'm running Mesa 7.11.3 The graphics section of about:support says this: =================================================================== Adapter DescriptionGLXtest process failed (waitpid failed): VENDOR Tungsten Graphics, Inc RENDERER Mesa DRI Intel(R) Ironlake Desktop VERSION 2.1 Mesa 7.11.2 TFP TRUE WebGL RendererTungsten Graphics, Inc -- Mesa DRI Intel(R) Ironlake Desktop -- 2.1 Mesa 7.11.2GPU Accelerated Windows0/1. Blocked for your graphics driver version. Try updating your graphics driver to version <Anything with EXT_texture_from_pixmap support> or newer. =========================================================================== This is on ArchLinux x64 with the 3.1.9 kernel. I can get it working by force-enabling webgl and layers acceleration, but why am I having to do this? Is the Wiki page just wrong? Is there a bug with Ironlake hardware that needs to be filed with the Mesa team?
Incidentally, if I run glxinfo | grep texture_from_pixmap I get the following: ==================== GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap, GLX_SGIX_visual_select_group, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap ===================== So it appears that my driver and hardware do support the EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension, contrary to what the about:support message says.
Benoit, maybe you can roll a try build with more debugging output in about:support?
Yeah, actually I am getting an intermittent 'waitpid failed' error on my own Linux/radeon machine, but only in Nightly, can't reproduce in local debug builds.
To be clear, my understanding is that this bug has been completely hijacked; dbaron's original bug is fixed (about:support doesn't report a X error in glxtest) and now he just has to upgrade to Mesa 7.10.3; but now we're discussing waitpid failures.
I should have mentioned that this occurs on Firefox 9 (stable channel) Please let me know if you want me to open an new bug report; I didn't mean to hijack. The title of this bug still seems apt enough, but I don't know enough about graphics drivers to know whether this is something different or part of the same problem. The frustration for me is that the driver is blacklisted even though it "shouldn't" be according to the only documentation I can find (the wiki)
Ryan, I would appreciate if you could open a separate bug report. I understand that it seemed very reasonable to use this one, no problem, but now we know that it's a separate bug.
Filed bug 718629 about the waitpid failures. Closing this one.
