WebGL broken on Firefox 65.

89c51 · 2019-02-01 20:16:11

With FF65 https://get.webgl.org/ doesn't work. If you downgrade to 64.0.2 it works.

Radeon r600 on open drivers.

Any solutions to this?

It works here for me with a GCN architecture card and the open drivers, so it might be something specific about code for the R600 in the drivers?

Does Firefox maybe show something interesting in "about:support" with regards to WebGL that's different between the 65 and 64 versions?

Works for me with xorg and r600:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Park [Mobility Radeon HD 5430/5450/5470]
	Subsystem: Sony Corporation Park [Mobility Radeon HD 5430/5450/5470]
	Kernel driver in use: radeon

You could maybe try webgl.force-enabled in about:config?

about:support seems identical on both versions.

Didn't work. I am on xwayland though but i doubt it makes much difference.

Did you try on an X11 session?

Nope. Stopped using X long(ish) time ago.

You're running firefox on xwayland, so maybe rethink that claim…
I'd suggest to either try the wayland version of FF or the X11 version on Xorg to see whether xwayland might indeed make a difference (like because it's what provides the GL server or so…)

X as in main display server. I know what xwayland is. And at this point sadly you cannot avoid it. But anyway.

I tried FF 65 wayland and webgl works. So as it seems xwayland is the problem here.
