H/W acceleration issues when using Ripple within a VM #104

Open astanley opened 12 years ago

astanley commented 12 years ago

Discovered at DevCon EMEA: If Ripple is running within a VM where hardware acceleration is enabled, input controls are hidden (e.g. Devices/Platforms drop-down box).

Hardware acceleration issues appear to be very common, often resulting in missing UI or malformed text. Users need to manually change config.ini to resolve this issue

SUGGESTION

  1. Enable HW acceleration only if target computer supports it (installer check?)
  2. Disable HW acceleration by default and provide a user-controlled setting to enable/disable.
