The code for lesson 7 is now pretty much done; I’m writing up the blog entry now, and may make a few final tweaks to the code as I do so, but you can try it out now if you’re feeling adventurous…
[UPDATE] Just realised it might not be obvious — in order to see the lighting effect, you’ll need to start the cube spinning (with the cursor keys) and check the “Use lighting” box under the canvas.
[FURTHER UPDATE] I’ve made the obvious change: lighting is now switched on by default, and the cube starts off slowly spinning. So now the lighting should be easy to see.
Hello. Sorry but i can’t see the light effect.
Are you clicking the “Use lighting” checkbox?
(Sorry if that’s a silly question
Oh, and you won’t see much unless you start the cube spinning — otherwise you’ll just have the front face lit, and it will all be lit up with the same intensity.
I’ve updated the post, as this was definitely not obvious
Im just interessing, if anybody had successfully run webgl on linux.
Does it depend on the video card (driver)?
Im fighting with this issue (ubuntu +firefox beta +intel video card) more than a month now, without any success.
Here is a thread:

Looks like nobody really cares…
Any idea? Where should I post my question? Is there some knowledgable people out there?

I reckon your best bet is to post in the OS/Browser issues forum at Khronos: http://www.khronos.org/message_boards/viewforum.php?f=45

In reply to the Linux question, yes I am running it on Ubuntu 9.04 on a dual boot Macbook Pro with (I think) a Nvidia 9400 card.
Nick: Could you please write what is your string value of “webgl.osmesalib” ?
(just go to the about:config to check it)
And also which package contains the file where it points to?
giles: Dunno about Khronos forum, it seems very low traffic. ITs worth a shoot however, thanks for the tip!
Best regards,
