WebGL gone, so is anything else rendering via OpenGL

Maverick89 · 2016-11-25 22:36:16

Hello,

I have an issue with graphics acceleration and have no idea where to start tracking it down:
both firefox and chrome have ceased using webGL. My system is an up-to-date arch, running Plasma on X with an NVIDIA GTX960 running nvidia's drivers.

Firefox's "about:support" reports as follows:

WebGL: "WebGL creation failed: * Error during native OpenGL init."
HW_COMPOSITING: "blocked by default: Acceleration blocked by platform", "
OPENGL_COMPOSITING: "unavailable by default: Hardware compositing is disabled"

Chromium's "gpu":

GPU process was unable to boot: GPU access is disabled in chrome://settings.
Disabled Features: all
***** 
GL_VENDOR	NVIDIA Corporation
GL_RENDERER	GeForce GTX 960/PCIe/SSE2
GL_VERSION	4.5.0 NVIDIA 375.20

To test the GPU I've downloaded a few OpenGL-dependant applications like gears and foobilliard++ - both would render a black window without any visible graphics!

journald did not contain anything seeming relevant either.

It must have appeared (after an update?) somewhere in the last 2 month, but I'm not sure enough to start downgrading stuff blindly. I haven't changed any related configuration files in the past months and I know it worked before.

I'd be thankful for any hints on how to track down what's going on...
