Google Chrome WebGL
Is anyone with intel Sandy Bridge having problem running Google Chrome with hardware accel on? Google Maps work fine for couple of seconds, or longer if I am moving the map very slow. Then it freezes, and not only browser, but whole desktop.
Some ten days ago I was having the same situation, but then at least Firefox worked great. Now, with FF, maps are starting only in light mode.

For Chromium have no idea. Try installing Google Chrome, and go to Settings, show advanced settings, Use hardware acceleration when available.
Also, what I have noticed. The issue will sooner appear if I have lots of tabs (not really ~ 20 tabs in chrome.) open. I am also on 13.10 64 bit and i7-2600K Sandy, which I think has HD Graphics 3000.
EDIT:
It looks like one of the latest updates from oibaf repo has solved the issue for me : )).Last edited by reCAPTCHA; 02-19-2014, 05:54 AM.

i7-2600K does have a HD 3000.

oibaf, what do you use to compile and upload these source packages? Right now I'm just using shell scripts to import your sources, apply patches to change the dependencies to llvm 3.5, and dputting them to my ppa. I'm wondering if there isn't something a little more elegant and a little less break-y.
