gpu

Google has an Easter egg that draws 3D graph but when I tried it out on chrome it complained about no WebGL support. I've also tested it on Firefox whose WebGL support was enabled but ended up with the same problem. Thus, I suspect it's an issue of my GPU. Some googling led me to chrome://gpu and here's what I got

Graphics Feature Status

Canvas: Software only, hardware acceleration unavailable
HTML Rendering: Software only, hardware acceleration unavailable
3D CSS: Unavailable. Hardware acceleration unavailable
WebGL: Unavailable. Hardware acceleration unavailable
WebGL multisampling: Unavailable. Hardware acceleration unavailable

Problems Detected

GPU process was unable to boot. Access to GPU disallowed.
GL driver is software rendered. Accelerated compositing is disabled.: 59302
Mesa drivers in linux older than 7.11 are assumed to be buggy.
Accelerated 2d canvas is unstable in Linux at the moment.

Version Information

Data exported Tue Apr 10 2012 18:35:57 GMT+0800 (CST)
Chrome version 18.0.1025.151 (Official Build 130497)
Operating system Linux 3.0.0-0300-generic
Software rendering list version 1.27
ANGLE revision 988
2D graphics backend Skia

I wonder what each of the problem implies and How I may properly deal with it? I'm using Ubuntu 11.04
