chromium-9999: from 6.0.409 to 6.0.428.0 (49144) with none works. only one of 6.0.408 worked before. chromium --enable-webgl --no-sandbox http://learningwebgl.com/lessons/lesson15/index.html fails, error message: Could not initialize WebGL Reproducible: Always
webgl works in firefox 3.7a5pre on the same gentoo system. so the system support webgl.
chromium --enable-webgl --in-process-webgl --no-sandbox http://learningwebgl.com/lessons/lesson15/index.html chromium-bin --enable-webgl --in-process-webgl --no-sandbox http://learningwebgl.com/lessons/lesson15/index.html will not enable webgl in new opened chrome window if the chromium window has been opened. if exit all opened chromium windows then the command works.
previous bug report for chromium-bin-9999 and chromium-9999 might be the same case.
Probably yes, let's merge both bugs. And fixing -bin is more complicated (it usually means upstream fixed it) You may be hitting this: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=21852#c30 (as the user explicitly mentions Gentoo)

Just updated to portage version 6.0.427.0, and I do see the Earth spinning Which opengl implementation do you use? (eselect opengl) which video card? The boxes I run chromium on all use nvidia binary driver, this may be the cause

Oh, if so then that's how it works, really. If you're not happy with that, you'd have to wait until WebGL is enabled by default (it will be at some point, I think). Feel free to file an enhancement bug to make it easier to set default chromium launch arguments in Gentoo.
