Maybe I'm talking to myself. The offending blacklist code is the
stanza on lines 329-332 of widget/xpwidgets/GfxInfoX11.cpp :
if (aFeature == nsIGfxInfo::FEATURE_WEBGL_OPENGL) {
*aStatus = nsIGfxInfo::FEATURE_BLOCKED_DRIVER_VERSION;
aSuggestedDriverVersion.AssignLiteral("Not Mesa");
}
Seems very purposeful. This file is not touched by the Debian patch process,
so that snippet comes directly from iceweasel_17.0.8esr.orig.tar.bz2.
I have not found this stanza anywhere in a Mozilla version control
repository (I know git, but I don't claim to be a GitHub or Mozilla
expert), so I don't know what its historical context is. Wikipedia
tells me FireFox 17 ESR was released on November 20, 2012.
My dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot of this package just ended, after
135 minutes of wall-clock time, apparently successfully. So I guess
I could modify or disable this stanza and see how it goes.
Comments, anyone?
