Error using webgl on Firefox and chromium with

Hello,
I try to test Webgl on my laptop.
On the first one, every thing works like a charm.

On the second one, I’ve got a very strange issue :
When I try webgl exemples (such as http://learningwebgl.com/lessons/lesson01/index.html and many other) with Firefox, the browser tells me that He can’t initialize webgl.
When I try using Chromium, i’ve got a black canvas, (for exemple http://gwt-g3d.appspot.com/). It’s something like everything is working but he doesn’t display the 3D canvas :frowning:

I’ve got the --enable-webgl attribute, and FF’s webgl about:config set to true.

I’ve got an ATI radeon X1600 with the last drivers,
and OpenGL version 6.14.10.5696

Am I missing something ?
Can it be possible that OpenGl ES isn’t installed ?
Any help is welcome :slight_smile:

Thanks

It might be a problem with the version of OpenGL supported by the driver on your second laptop – you need at least 2.1.

I did have a link for a good tool for working out which version a machine had, but I’ve misplaced it… this one sounds like it might do the job, though: http://www.ozone3d.net/gpu_caps_viewer/

Cheers,

Giles

Sorry, I should say: 6.14.10.5696 isn’t an OpenGL version – they only just released version 4.

Final update: this blog post gives a link to the tool I’ve used before: How to Find Which OpenGL Version You’re Running « Greg Dolley’s Weblog

Hello giles,

i have the same problem as described by Quentin. Using the OpenGL Extensions Viewer 3.22 it shows my OpenGL Version 2.1.
Using software rendering with OSMESA32.DLL instead is working. Is some special OpenGL Extension required? Version 2.1 is supported 100%.

The graphics card is ATI Mobility FireGL v5200.

Any hint would be appreciated.

Thanks keemmo

Hmm. The stuff about the extensions at the bottom looks odd – IIRC you have driver version 6.14.10.7287, but it’s saying “GL_ATI_element_array was not found, but is available in driver version 6.14.10.5757”, which sounds like certain extensions have been lost between the two driver versions. The “GL_EXT_vertex_shader was not found, but has the entry point XXX” lines look odd too.

Not sure what to suggest, though – sorry :frowning:
