Platform/GFX/GLLayersOnMobile

Current Status

GL Layers on Mobile are not yet ready to be enabled by default. Some patches on bugzilla get us a little closer. Even so, there are many visual glitches, and GL errors at least on Android. We have yet to run the reftests, and assess performance.

The tracking bug for OpenGL on Mobile is bug 607684.

Tasks

• Land Heeen's patch queue. This addresses:
  • Visual glitches in left and right panel
  • Blitting when using tiles
  • TextureImage improvements
• GL Reftest on Android (ajuma):
  • Can't ignore resolution bug 672704
• Fix Rendering glitches:
  • Zooming and panning (BenWa) bug 666385
  • Duplication of the URL bar (ajuma) bug 621745
  • Restarting causes black screen (ajuma) bug 672574
• Profiling (Focus on previous tasks first)
  • Texture updates happen synchronously and harm interactive performance (Chris Lord) bug 670930

Patches

Here is a patch queue to apply on top of mozilla-central. You probably want to have a dedicated clone of mozilla-central for mobile development, and check this out as the .hg/patches subdirectory of it:
