browser without gpu support

Solution 1:

Its because your GPU (or the driver being )is not supported for WebGL. Its browser blacklisted.

However you can force enable your GPU for WebGL.

Warning: Do this at your own risk. It can harm your hardware. There are usually good reasons (like some critical driver bug) why features are blocked.

To launch chrome ignoring the black list, run following after pressing Alt + F2 OR in terminal

google-chrome --enable-webgl --ignore-gpu-blacklist

Configuring firefox:

  • To force-enable WebGL, go to about:config and set webgl.force-enabled=true.

  • To force-enable WebGL anti-aliasing, go to about:config and set webgl.msaa-force=true.

  • To force-enable Layers Acceleration, go to about:config and set layers.acceleration.force-enabled=true.

Solution 2:

It's because your GPU (or the driver being used)is not supported for WebGL. It's browser blacklisted. However, you can force enable your GPU for WebGL.

In Google's Chrome:

chrome://flags/

Enable. Override software rendering list.

This can have unstable results. As "Accelerated 2d canvas is unstable in Linux at the moment and Stage3D is not supported on Linux." I found it best to leave it disabled and just update your graphic driver. With the "preferred" v.280 NVIDIA driver, Chrome says it can't support 3D, but it worked fine being forced. Updating to the version current-updates (v.295.2 as of today. v.304.51 is the official release), enables everything that works.

Good luck.
