WebGL not enabled

Reported by l...@getautomata.com, May 15 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
http://webglreport.com/

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Visit webpage using WebGL (eg http://webglreport.com/?v=1)
2. Observe that WebGL is supported by this browser but isn't enabled

What is the expected behavior?
A report indicating that the browser supports WebGL and a summary of the features supported.

On other websites: The use of WebGL based features.

What went wrong?
This behaviour is similar across a range of websites using WebGL (eg http://earth.google.com/web and our own internal WebGL tools).

It appears that WebGL is disabled.

This is on a Dell XPS13 9350 laptop with an i5-6200U CPU and Intel HD 520 graphics. The drivers are the latest drivers distributed by Dell.

WebGL 1 works on Microsoft Edge, and WebGL 1 and 2 work on Firefox 53.0.2

Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes

Is it a problem with a plugin? No 

Did this work before? Yes Unsure - it worked a few weeks ago

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

Thank you for providing more feedback. Adding requester "kainino@chromium.org" to the cc list and removing "Needs-Feedback" label.

I was unaware of about://gpu - finding it lead to advice to check the first flag in about://flags - "Override software rendering list". 

Enabling that flag results in functioning WebGL.

Does that mean the Intel 520 GPU is unsupported by Chrome?
The about://gpu page, after enabling the "Override software rendering list" flag, shows the following:

GpuProcessHostUIShim: The GPU process exited normally. Everything is okay.

Comment 8 by pquir...@gmail.com, May 16 2017

Got the same problem with Intel HD 520 (i7) (w/ AMD R7 M360 for Rendering)
Disabling the blacklist worked for me too.

Comment 9 by pquir...@gmail.com, May 16 2017

Also noticed if I disable the gpu blacklist Chrome crashes when I try to edit a bookmark.  Looks like it was added to the blacklist for a reason.  WebGL works fine in FF though.  Must be something Chrome is doing wrong.

The GPU with vendor PCI ID 0x17e9 and device PCI ID 0x436f looks like a DisplayLink USB  adapter. Is that correct? What exactly is it?

I'm sure it's causing problems and that if you unplug it Chrome should work normally.

You are correct! I really should have tried that before - apologies for not stating my full system configuration.

The DisplayLink adaptor is a Dell Adaptor USB 3.0. WebGL works when the flag  "Override software rendering list" is disabled when just using the laptop, but if I plug in the display adaptor and then close and re-open Chrome it no longer works.

I'm sorry but we don't know anything about the behavior of this adapter. USB display adapters have caused problems like this in the past. We can blacklist it and cause Chrome to fall back to using SwiftShader but the better solution is for you to stop using it.

Comment 13 by zmo@chromium.org, May 16 2017

Wow, Chrome detected three USB display adapters.  Assuming you only got one, and there is a bug in our detection code.
Yes - just a single DisplayLink device.

This seems to be a problem other people have had: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=661930. As this does appear to be a regression (it definitely worked last week!), is it worth running the Chrome Bisect script linked in that issue? It looks like the DisplayLink device driver was updated on 17/08/2016, so unless Windows Update is seriously slow I can't imagine its changed in the last week.

The DisplayLink device is poor (and Linux support is questionable) but as Dell neglected to put any video output ports on this laptop, unfortunately I'm stuck with it.

Comment 15 by kbr@chromium.org, May 16 2017

Could you try disabling Chrome's GPU acceleration? Either launch from the command line with --disable-gpu or go to about:settings , Advanced, System, and switch off "Use hardware acceleration when available".

With the flag "Override software rendering list" disabled, unchecking "Use hardware acceleration while available" results in WebGL not working.

Setting the flag "Override software rendering list" to enabled while "Use hardware acceleration while available" is also unchecked also results in WebGL not working.

Conversely, the combination of enabling "Override software rendering list"  and checking "Use hardware acceleration while available" results in WebGL working.

Comment 17 by kbr@chromium.org, May 16 2017

OK, but what about the rest of Chrome's stability?

Overriding the software rendering list is a reasonable option (though unsupported) if it's working for you.

Status: WontFix (was: Unconfirmed)
This system doesn't have the stability to run native OpenGL.

That said, in M59, we have enabled SwiftShader, which will allow running software OpenGL (and therefore WebGL).
