Ah sorry for confusing you.

GraphicsContext3DOpenGL.cpp is used by webkit Mac port (Safari).

For chromium, the in-process port is in chromium tree under src/webkit/gpu/webgraphicscontext3d_in_process_impl.cc:reshape();

the command buffer port is under the same folder, but you need to dig deeper into the command buffer code to add the behavior, and reshape function is the entry.
