WebGL on Google Chrome with AMD card

rated 0 times [ 8] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 8893 / 2 Years ago, sat, october 1, 2022, 1:57:12

When I try to use Cooliris for Google Chrome it shows the following message

WebGL did not initialize properly. Make sure you are running the latest version of Chrome.

I have an AMD/ATI video card. How to fix this? Google Chrome version is 13.0.782.218

http://get.webgl.org/ says "Hmm. While your browser seems to support WebGL, it is disabled or unavailable. If possible, please ensure that you are running the latest drivers for your video card."

Catalyst Control Center says "Catalyst version 11.5 and Driver Packaging Version 8.84.6-110324a-116088C-ATI"

google-chrome --enable-webgl didn't work

WebGL on Google Chrome, it is available BUT not on Linux, actually there's a lot of questions regarding this in Google groups and the Chromium issue tracker. This happens in both x86 and x86-64 versions.

Running google-chrome --enable-webgl --in-process-webgl or google-chrome --enable-webgldoesn't have any effect on the browser.

get.webgl.org Mentions this:

Hmm. While your browser seems to support WebGL, it is disabled or
unavailable. If possible, please ensure that you are running the
latest drivers for your video card.

If you now then go an click on the Wiki link, and then on How to Get a WebGL Implementation you'll see this:

Chrome

WebGL is available in the stable release of Chrome. Please report
issues you find to either the public WebGL mailing list or via the
Chromium issue tracker.

THIS is only half-true as neither the stable or the dev. versions of Chrome have WebGL available on Linux. (OP is using the Stable release and i'm using the dev. release)
