Using Linux with Nvidia binary drivers, how do I enable WebGL in Firefox 8?

I've heard it is possible to use WebGL in firefox 8 for linux if using Nvidia binary drivers, but I haven't found a succinct recipe. can someone point me to a working recipe?
thanks!

You have a WebGL renderer listed on the Help > Troubleshooting Information page:
WebGL Renderer: NVIDIA Corporation -- GeForce 9800 GT/PCI/SSE2/3DNOW! -- 3.3.0 NVIDIA 280.13
You can check the values of the webgl prefs on the about:config page via the location bar.

  • After effects instantly crashes while using opengl with nvidias new drivers 178.24

    Since I installed nvidias new drivers 178.24, after effects instantly crashes while using opengl. Anyone else experienced this?
    I have Geforce 8600 GT.
    As a minor note, I had major problems with the new quicktime 7.5.5 update, both After effects and Premiere got problems with interpreting footage and frames here and there got the "missing frame" look. I also got more problems so I uninstalled it instantly. Is there a major problem with the update or a major problem with me?
    Thanks

    I use Vista (in retroperspective this was probably a mistake, but the company wanted to test the capabilities with Vista when we bought the computer a year ago). And specs are:

    Sorry not to give more info on the Quicktime problem, I don't remember exactly what more problems there where as we have had extremely much to do these last couple of weeks and I just freaked out and uninstalled it as soon as the problems emerged. I do remember the frame issue however, it was very clear, i imported an image sequence in premiere and everything worked fine, then i updated and frames were suddenly dropped, then i uninstalled and installed 7.5 again and it worked just fine. I also tried to flush the cache, restart and generally search for the source of the problem for a couple of hours.

  • Trouble with VDPAU with Nvidia Properitary Drivers

    I've recently got arch on my machine, but I've been unable to get VDPAU to work as a hardware decoder for my media player.  I have installed and am running the latest Nvidia proprietary drivers along with the packages nvidia-utils, libvdpau, and lib32-libvdpau.  Also, vdpauinfo confirms that my GPU can support VDPAU.  I've read the wiki's page on VDPAU, but I'm entirely new to Arch and still somewhat new to linux, so I'm afraid some things may have gone over my head.

  • Uninstall NVIDIA IDE drivers--how?

    I've read a lot about how the NVIDIA IDE drivers are causing problems.  How do I uninstall them?  Is it just from the driver tab for the NVIDIA PATA drivers in Device Manager or do I uninstall the NVIDIA drivers from Add/Remove programs?
    Thanks!
    Bruce

    hansh,
    Thanks for the info.  I found "NVIDIA drivers" located in my Add/Remove programs, but when I clicked "Change/Remove", I did not see the NVIDIA IDE drivers listed.  I'll have to double check what drivers are actually being used for the NVIDIA PATA controller.

  • WinProducer2 start error, won't run with nVidia Capture drivers

    I'm not having a good experience with the bundled WinProducer2 that came with my MX440VT8x-128.
    If I have either of the versions of the nVidia capture-drivers that came on the card's CD (that's v. 1.16 or 1.18)  installed, or the 1.22 version from nVidia's website (as of 2-20-03),  and then try to start WinProducer, I get the same start-error every time:
    "WinProducer.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows....need to restart program...an error log is being generated."
    If I look at the Dr. Watson log, it says WinProducer 2 generated  "Exception Violation c00005."
    If I uninstall the nVidia capture-drivers, WinProducer2 opens right up just fine, but, of course, with no capture capability.
    I downloaded and tried (after uninstalling v.2) WinProducer3 from InterVideo's website yesterday (2/20/03), with the exact same results!   ???
    Anybody else having this problem?
    This is under Win2k, w/SP2,  then added SP3, with no improvement.

    After I made the original post, I tried a lot more things that didn't help:
    I booted in safe mode and tried it but PSP gave an error message that it wouldn't run with the screen resolution that low (800x600); so it did try to run. So I booted normally and set the screen rez to 800x600 manually, then tried to run PSP and got the same error message.
    I did a clean boot with all start-up programs and all services disabled; PSP still wouldn't run.
    I disabled my anti-virus and PSP still wouldn't run.
    Disabled my video card in the device manager and booted with my on-board video; PSP still wouldn't run.
    There's never an error message as long as the screen rez is high enough; when I try to run it, it looks like it's starting to run but nothing ever happens.

  • School network uses WEP with 802.1x  Encryption How do I connect?

    My University uses WEP with IEEE 802.1x Encryption with Protected EAP. There are two wireless networks I can connect to and they both use the same security settings. In order to connect on my laptop, I have to enter an User name and Password. I have to use the same user name and password to log on with my iPod touch. The problem is that while both school networks show up on my touch, I can not connect to either because I am only prompted for a password when I need to enter both a user name and password. As far as I can tell, this is not possible on my touch.
    Is there a correct way to do this? Is this feature even supported by the iPod touch? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    Followed your links and did some searching on the website.
    found this page: http://www.calumet.purdue.edu/ctis/wireless_drop.html
    And I think this might be the problem:
    "How Wireless Access Works
    Wireless access points emanate radio signals in a similar manner to non-cellular cordless phones. The signals are strong enough to be received up to 50 to 100 feet from each access point (and possibly further, if the access point is equipped with an external antenna). These signals can be received by laptops and PDA's that are equipped with a standard 802.11b/g wireless card. This feature can be requested when ordering a new laptop computer, or an 802.11b/g card can be purchased and added to most older laptops. _Please note that the iPhone, iTouch, and any device with a palm OS is not compatible with the wireless network_."

  • Can't switch virtual terminals with NVidia binary driver

    I got a new laptop, with an NVidia 9800M card, put Arch64 on it, and put the nvidia driver on it.  Right now, I'm using the default nvidia-xconfig --composite configuration, and X itself is working great.  However, upon switching VTs with Ctrl+Alt+F1, I get just a black screen, with not even the backlight.  I can, however, blindly type commands, and switching back to X with Alt+F7 works.  Googling around, it seems that it is a known problem, and that somehow the driver is setting the display to an invalid video mode upon switching VTs.  I tried a few proposed solutions, including adding different video= options to the kernel, and nothing has helped.  What, if any, is the solution?  Thanks.

  • How do I diable WebGL in Firefox 5.0. I tried the solution from the forum for FF4 but could not find "webgl" in about:config.

    Search using Firefox Help for disable WebGL returned the following question: How does one disable Webgl ? and a subsequent solution. Unfortunately, when trying to use the solution in FF5.0, it fails in step 3 when a "find" fails to locate "webgl". So, since there is a known problem with WebGL security in many browsers, how do I disable WebGL in FF5.0?

    The pref webgl.disabled (true) is still there on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

  • How can I enable java on Firefox

    when I am try to login in my account an error shows that java is not enable please enable your java from browser settings but I am not getting any option in browser setting to enable java.
    I am using Samsung galaxy s3 mini and I have already enabled java from my mobile setting.
    If any one has any idea about this then please tell.

    Java browser plugins do not exist on mobile browsers.
    JavaScript is supported which is different. If you run the noscript extension then disabling that for the site might make sense.

  • How can I active webgl in firefox beta edition

    I want to try google's body browser but I can't access it because it says webGL is needed to run it and suggests to download firefox beta. I also download and install it but I can't access it. Help me.

    I think no... You must use [http://nightly.mozilla.org/ Nightly Build] to run WebGL on Firefox.

  • Vulnerability in nVidia binary drivers

    This is why proprietary stuff doesn't belong in kernel space:
    http://kerneltrap.org/node/7228
    Fixed in the beta drivers, at least.

    some comment mentioned by McQueen wrote:
    "I've weighed the options. I could either:
    1) Use Nvidia's evil closed source drivers and take the chance that they'll crash my computer (hasn't happened since 2000) or give a nefarious hacker root (in the unlikely event that I start allowing random strangers to run stuff on my PC), so I can play Quake 4 at 60 FPS.
    2) Buy a two-generations-old ATI card, and use the open-source drivers that may give me decent performance on 7-year-old games like Quake 3, but won't even run any modern 3D games, while patting myself on the back for supporting "freedom" and deluding myself about the inherent security and quality in open source drivers (my experiences with previous open source drivers for ATI hardware were less than thrilling in both performance and stability).
    I've chosen #1 for now. When somebody releases a high performance, open spec GPU with high-quality open source drivers, I'll be all over it. But until then, I'm just going to have to live with the black spots on my soul left by Nvidia's evil blobs."
    nobody ever said not to use them, Gullible just showed some dislike in the implementation, which is understandable, it's a pretty shoddy way of going about things. but yeah, as long as there's no reasonable alternative, we're obliged to use it, no matter how pathetically designed they are.
