OMTC is known broken on linux even with upstream builds. You are gonna be in same boat most other users are in including myself. (In reply to Jory A. Pratt from comment #1) > OMTC is known broken on linux even with upstream builds. You are gonna be in > same boat most other users are in including myself. yes you're right i just run the bench from https://developer.mozilla.org/media/uploads/demos/p/a/paulrouget/8bfba7f0b6c62d877a2b82dd5e10931e/hacksmozillaorg-achi_1334270447_demo_package/HWACCEL/ fps was 29/27 both builds broken i got that thanks anyway Created attachment 416810 [details]
emerge --info firefox
I was able to turn on hardware acceleration (at least judging by about:support output) by setting USE='-egl' for firefox. With USE='egl' I was unable to convince firefox to enable hardware acceleration even through various 'force-*' preferences.

I wonder if rebuilding with USE='-egl' solves this issue in general. Olcay, Jory could you test it and provide feedback, please?

It will not fix it for the majority of users. The option in the mozilla overlay should be about ready to move to the tree in next few days. (In reply to Jory A.

Are you referring to this: https://github.com/gentoo-mirror/mozilla/commit/d6bfb5bd999fef763c3dadfaf155a588ac5c2c5a ? Because I have hardware acceleration + stable, working OMTC with cairo[X,xcb,xlib-xcb]. (In reply to Coacher from comment #6) > (In reply to Jory A.

The only way you do not have a crash with this when opening a new tab is using newtab instead of the default newtabpage. (In reply to Jory A. Pratt from comment #7) > The only way you do not have a crash with this when opening a new tab is > using newtab instead of the default newtabpage. What do you mean by "using newtab instead of the default newtabpage"? My newtabpage is the default about:newtab. there is no hardware accel at about:support output but i got 60+ fps with radeonsi from https://developer.mozilla.org/media/uploads/demos/p/a/paulrouget/8bfba7f0b6c62d877a2b82dd5e10931e/hacksmozillaorg-achi_1334270447_demo_package/HWACCEL/ it was 27 fps with fglrx (In reply to Coacher from comment #3) > Created attachment 416810 [details] > emerge --info firefox > > I was able to turn on hardware acceleration (at least judging by > about:support output) by setting USE='-egl' for firefox.

I was able to turn on hwaccel with -egl emerge --info is here: https://564918.bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=416900 Basically, with hwaccel I get 9fps instead of 5fps without, with system-cairo; and with -system-cairo, with hwaccel 5fps instead of 16fps without(yes, without is way faster!) tested firefox 42.0-r1 Prior to -egl, so with egl, I had this: 0/1 Basic (OMTC) Blocked for your graphics driver version. Try updating your graphics driver to version <Anything with EXT_texture_from_pixmap support> or newer.

See, Anarchy? '-egl' does help. If you feel I have closed your bug and it is still a current issue, please reopen and update it completely. We will not work bugs that have no ebuild in tree any longer or can not be reproduced with a current system. Thank You for your support and understanding The Mozilla Team |
