Details

We need AdapterVendorID and AdapterDeviceID in the crash report. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777187#c25
Blocks: b2g-crash-reporting
Adding to the summary that this (probably) needs GfxInfo. mwu, bug 777187 comment #29 says you have taken a look at this at some point, who can we contact to work on this? How difficult is it?

Joe can you tell us what would be most useful here? Does someone from gfx want to take this bug?

FYI, from the crash analysis POV, we 1) have those fields already shown in public crash report data on the website and 2) will work to get some kind of correlation data or "signature summary" data using those fields to show on which graphics chips what percentage of those crashes occur. As soon as there will be devices with different chips where we ship B2G, this will be very helpful - before that, I guess devices to which people deploy custom builds will be even easier to pick out through this.
The easiest way to implement this is using GfxInfo, and I suggest that it just be copied directly from the Android version, doing exactly the same things (so long as they work).

Android's GfxInfo is implemented through AndroidBridge which talks to Java, which Gonk doesn't have. We can probably just query the graphics drivers directly, however.
Is this optional for V1, or required? If required for useful crash submissions, please nominate for blocking-basecamp.
