[webkit-qt] QtWebKit, QtWebKit 2 and... WebGL

[Ivan De Marino]

Hi Jarkko.
Happy to see you here and thanks to take the time to answer.

Anyway, what I did is more or less following the instructions.
I compiled with: "..build-webkit --qt --3d-canvas --3d-rendering --release
(or --debug)".
I tried on Linux Ubuntu Karmic and Lucid. The first with an Nvidia GeForce
6something, the second with a Nvidia Quadro for laptop.
Both using Nvidia closed-source drivers.

Good news of today is: I played with the options in the "developer" menu of
the test application and I figured out how to see the 3d Canvas: I have to
do those steps
- Load a page with a 3d-Canvas within
- Enable WebGL
- Enable QGraphicsView
- Disable Composite

And I have to do it again for every new page. I read "quickly" that there is
something going on wrong with the composite-thing (I don't really know what
"Composite" is, I must say) in QtWebKit, so I guess is being
addressed/known.

That's the story on Linux, more or less.

On Mac OS X, instead, until yesterday morning I was unable to build with
3d-canvas enabled. I'll give it another go tonight: I saw that there are a
lot of commits this morning.

Hope it's detailed enough ;)
If not, let me know and I'll elaborate more.

*A question: are you aware if this could build within the Scratchbox-SDK of
Fremantle? My final aim is to have a WebView that is WebGL enabled in Maemo
5 ;)*
