Trouble Deploying opengl32.dll (with mesa) with newer versions of Chromium

[Greg Clark]

Hello,

With previous versions of chrome I was able to place opengl32.dll in the same directory as the chrome executable.  The opengl32.dll is a mesa build.   Then I launched chrome with the --use-gl=desktop switch and everything worked fine and I was able to verify that Mesa was being used as a GPU driver when looking at the Chrome://gpu values.  This worked fine with Chrome Version 44

With newer versions 59 and above this is now not working.   I have tried a number of switches -enable-webgl --ignore-gpu-blacklist but nothing seems to work. 

Does anyone know how to get this to work with current versions?

Thanks

Greg

Note:  I do not want to use --use-gl=osmesa, this is way to slow only get 1 fps  where is the 13 and 17 build of mesa gets around 13-17 fps.

Sorry, we have never tested anything like that in-house on the Chromium project and can't help.

You might get somewhere with --use-angle=gl instead of --use-gl=desktop ; ANGLE's OpenGL backend is well tested, while Chromium's raw OpenGL backend on Windows is unsupported.
