Ok, after tinkering with it a bit, I think I can finally say that it's ready for people to test:
BLEEDIER, EDGIER Graphics Drivers
The primary purpose of this PPA is to provide the most up-to-date development snapshot of OpenCL support in the Mesa drivers. Bugs are being fixed and new cards are being supported every day in the LLVM and libCLC trunks, so this will give you a good idea of the state of open source OpenCL.
This requires you also have the oibaf PPA added to your sources as well, to install dependencies.
As always, the disclaimer is: this is an unstable development snapshot, so don't be surprised when things break.

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; 19 February 2014, 05:54 AM.

i7-2600K does have a HD 3000.
