First of all, which version are you using? If it's 4.7 or 4.6 + a new webkit: I'd check paltform/graphics/qt/GraphicsLayerQt.cpp, and try to disable QWebSettings::AcceleratedCompositingEnabled and see if it helps. That code accelerates CSS animations by drawing the animated components into pixmaps; after which they wouldn't have to repaint themselves with gradients or anything else; my guess is that that's what you're seeing... see http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2010/05/17/qtwebkit-now-accelerates-css-animations-3d-transforms/

To maximise the hardware's capabilities, we have already added rudimentary support for accelerating linear gradients to both QtGui and the X11/EXA driver for this hardware. This is effective for some instances of linear gradients (eg. on form buttons that appear on a page), but others (such as CSS animations) don't even seem to hit the abstraction layer in Webkit that would pass these commands on to Qt. Breakpoints set in WebCore/platform/graphics/qt/GradientQt.cpp are triggered by the accelerated case but not by the non-accelerated cases. Similarly, atlas maps (used on some high-profile websites to minimise HTTP request count) appear to similarly evade the abstraction layer and result in expensive client-side software fallbacks. As far as we know, no special hardware features are needed to support these - we have made sure that support for sufficiently large image dimensions is available. Where should we be looking in the code to figure out the difference between these cases, and is there any good reason for them? -- ------ From: Jonathan Morton [email protected] _______________________________________________ webkit-qt mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-qt _______________________________________________ webkit-qt mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-qt
