    Your card is an integrated Radeon HD3000 series. It is no longer supported by the proprietary AMD Catalyst drivers but it should work with the open source drivers. Most likely you do not get hardware support for WebGL because Chrome disables it by default.

    You can not install the drivers from AMD web site on your computer. It is not possible because AMD do not support your graphics card any more. It is too old. You will have to use the open source drivers. Please read [Radeon HD 2000, 3000, 4000 on Ubuntu 12.10 and higher: fglrx (legacy) unsupported, what to do?](http://askubuntu.com/questions/203232/radeon-hd-2000-3000-4000-on-ubuntu-12-10-and-higher-fglrx-legacy-unsupporte) To enable WebGL for Chrome see [How To Enable WebGL In Chrome On Ubuntu?](http://askubuntu.com/questions/299345/how-to-enable-webgl-in-chrome-on-ubuntu) – bain May 31 '14 at 09:55
  • i have enabled webgl in chrome and its working superbly but i am getting too many problems to download fglrx drivers – agha rehan abbas May 31 '14 at 10:03
  • my computer does not shows any additional drivers in the additional drivers option and everyone posts that to use the additional driver – agha rehan abbas May 31 '14 at 10:06
  • You can not install the (proprietary, closed source) drivers from AMD web site on your computer. It is not possible because AMD do not support your graphics card any more. Your graphics card is too old. Your only option is to use the open source drivers. – bain May 31 '14 at 10:57
  • how to use that open source driver @bain – agha rehan abbas May 31 '14 at 11:36
  • You are already using it. It is installed by default in 14.04. – bain May 31 '14 at 11:45

    Check `glxinfo|grep 'OpenGL vendor'` – bain May 31 '14 at 11:50
  • it shows some other thing which i have updated in my question – agha rehan abbas May 31 '14 at 13:39

    Try `glxinfo|grep -E 'OpenGL|direct'` and `cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log` - post the output to pastebin.com and link here. It is easier to copy and paste text than to take screenshots. – bain May 31 '14 at 14:02
  • i have updated my question – agha rehan abbas May 31 '14 at 14:08

    It looks like you are using the open source drivers and have full accelerated 3D (`Direct rendering: Yes`). Why do you think it is not working? – bain May 31 '14 at 14:41
  • i cannot get many application before but now after enabling webgl i am getting those but still some applications are unsupportive – agha rehan abbas May 31 '14 at 14:59
  • Which applications? If some application does not work with the open source drivers then it is a bug. Report it at Launchpad or upstream with the xorg radeon project at http://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeon/ – bain May 31 '14 at 15:03
  • can you please see this question http://askubuntu.com/questions/476078/ubuntu-14-04-gnome-crashed-after-installation – agha rehan abbas Jun 03 '14 at 06:28
  • Did this bug not get fixed yesterday? You enabled acceleration in Chrome and it worked? – bain Jun 03 '14 at 09:25
  • yes it was enabled and i can use it explicitly i am just requesting you to see this question and help me if you can thank you verymuch – agha rehan abbas Jun 03 '14 at 18:24

    Yes I was just wondering where all of the comments from yesterday went? Anyway, if you are happy with the answer to this question then please accept it so the question is closed. – bain Jun 03 '14 at 18:37

Sometimes Google Chrome blocks 3D support in their browser in Linux due to known driver issues for example. However, there is a way to override this and force 3D support in Chrome.

To do this, navigate to chrome://flags in your browser. In there, search for the option Ignore GPU blacklist and enable it. After that you need to restart your browser to apply the changes.

In Chrome 60 there is no Ignore GPU blacklist, but it is Override software rendering list now (the first line in chrome://flags)
