On: Why you should use WebGL

[clebio]

Am I missing something here? I've been trying to use WebGL for weeks now, based on [unconed's MathBox articles][uc]. For the life of me, I [cannot get this to work][my] on any laptop that uses the Intel HD 4000 graphics card (my samsung series 9) ... which includes nearly all the macbooks, no less. If that pretty common graphics card isn't supported, how can anyone develop WebGL libraries, let alone expect others to use them. Perhaps this will be patched in some (linux?) driver update in the future, but until then....

EDIT: I clearly don't understand HN's subset of Markdown, either...

http://www.tuxlom.com/ runs fine (60 FPS) on a mobile Core i5 with HD 4000. :)

OS/version, browser/version? Doesn't work here, though if I reboot into Windows 7 I'm sure it will.

Windows 8, Chrome

There was a bug ticket about that a while back: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=162634

If you still have the problem you should note down your GPU, driver/version and OS/version and comment on that ticket.

I will follow the progress of that ticket as of now.

Ok, I just updated that ticket. I had seen it, and tried the recommendations (latest chromium build), but have not yet had success. Thanks for any help!
