== how to get webgl browser ==

* for setup see http://learningwebgl.com/blog/?p=11
** for troubleshooting see http://learningwebgl.com/blog/?p=11#troubleshooting
** windows vista and windows seven : you might have to install opengl drivers as they aren't shipped by default, see nvidia/ati page or troubleshooting guide above for intel.

* 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
** still problems under vista, firefox beta 8 ? install [http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=3b170b25-abab-4bc3-ae91-50ceb6d8fa8d DirectX End-User Runtimes] (used by [http://code.google.com/p/angleproject/ angle] in ff4beta8)
*** alternative : about:config : manually create "webgl.prefer_gl" (boolean) and set to true.
*** 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
