== how to get webgl browser ==

* Firefox 4 Beta : http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html
** if it doesn't work, enter about:config in the adressbar of your browser and search for "webgl"
** set  webgl.enabled_for_all_sites  to  true
** set  webgl.shader_validator  to  false
** todo : still problems under vista, firefox beta 8 ?
*** problem : "Unable to initialize the shader program."  , so WebGL works, but something wrong with the shader ?
*** Warnung: WebGL: UseProgram: program was not linked successfully Quelldatei: ...main.js Zeile: 123, Spalte: 0

* chrome/safari/webkit/(opera?): see http://www.khronos.org/webgl/wiki/Getting_a_WebGL_Implementation
* linux chromium : chromium --enable-webgl
