[webkit-gtk] Is accelerated compositing (AC) successfully supported in webkitgtk2.4.9/webkit2 with X11 as backend?

[Huang Xinsheng]

Thanks, Michael. You do help a lot.
For MiniBrowser using webkit2, how can we forcibly using GPU in AC (if GPU is available) when running the AC case? 
Is there any necessary code change when building webkitgtk or MiniBrowser?
AC case: https://webkit.org/blog-files/3d-transforms/poster-circle.html
 
Best Regards
Eric

Fedora 20 is also an old version that is not maintained anymore and has tons of unfixed security bugs. I think nothing about what you are trying to do is supported, sorry. :)

But the answer you're looking for is: yes, I think accelerated compositing ought to work in your setup.
