Bug 137879 – [WinCairo] Crash in ATI display driver in accelerated compositing mode.

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit Misc.

I got a crash in the ATI display driver in accelerated compositing mode, which resulted in a Windows blue screen.
This patch is a speculative fix for the crash; a call to use antialiasing when drawing a texture is removed.
I haven't seen the crash after making this change, and I don't think antialiasing is really needed.
It is taken from the GTK implementation, and I can't see any visual differences after removing the call.
Accelerated compositing should also be faster when not doing antialiasing.

Is this code used only in the WinCairo configuration or is it also used in Apple’s Windows port?

This file is only used in the WinCairo port; we don't build it on our port because we do not enable the TEXTURE_MAPPER_GL feature (we use our own compositing code).

This seems like it is just covering up a bigger problem, but I'd rather have no antialiasing than frequent crashes. Is there an equivalent call in the gtk code?

Yes, the gtk code has the same call.
