721785 - Send layers backend with Telemetry ping

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

[Joe Drew (not getting mail)]

Right now we send a bunch of graphics information as part of the telemetry ping, but the layers backend isn't part of it. It should be! It'd be very useful to find out whether our logic is working, etc.

Sid: Is there any reason why we shouldn't collect this?

John: Is there any reason why we didn't initially?

I was specifically interested in getting the DirectWrite lib version.  Not sure what layers info is!

Just the backend - what's displayed in about:support. ("Direct3D 9" "Direct3D 10" "OpenGL" "Basic")

I talked to Sid about this bug and this looks like feature usage or hardware characteristics.

None of those backends exist anymore.
