OpenGL/webGL not working, nouveau drivers

2

Title says it, OpenGL software crashes and Chromium says hardware acceleration is not available for webGL, though they should be supported by nouveau drivers.

Running 64-bit Arch linux with xfce4 desktop. I have mesa, xf86-video-nouveau, nouveau-dri and lib32-nouveau-dri packages installed. Am I missing some package?

Have you reported the crashes to the developers? – Ramhound – 2013-10-01T19:31:06.217

Probably the best thing to do to get full 3D support is to use the proprietary drivers:

pacman -S nvidia

They update in lock-step with the official kernel packages so your system won't break on you.
