Is there no WebGL implementation in Opera 12.0?

Question

I am trying to get WebGL running with Opera 12.0 (Mac OS X Lion). The Opera Website states that WebGL is supported, although if I check it via the WebGL check website, Opera doesn't really seem to work.

Everything I tried is working fine in latest Chrome.

Is there anything I have to change in Opera's prefs to enable WebGL or is it just not supported at all?

Open opera:gpu and see if your video card is block-listed. If there is a text: Vega backend: Software, it means HW Acceleration got auto disabled because of previous crashes ;) Easiest fix is re-installation. Or separate side-by-side installation.

I have had a similar problem yesterday, now its fixed - and i can see:

• http://www.khronos.org/webgl/wiki/Demo_Repository
• http://maps3d.svc.nokia.com/webgl/

For google webgl experiments - many of them do not work even in chrome 17.
