video drivers installed, but no WebGL or OpenGL acceleration working
I have a XPS 13 Developer Edition with Ubuntu 14.04, but nothing requiring 3d acceleration is working.
lspci | grep VGA gives me:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics (rev 09)
and lshw -c video outputs

I enabled WebGL in Chrome as posted in another question and I get a false positive that everything is working in chrome://gpu
Graphics Feature Status

Flash Stage3D Baseline profile: Hardware accelerated
Compositing: Hardware accelerated
Multiple Raster Threads: Enabled
Rasterization: Hardware accelerated
Threaded Rasterization: Enabled

Just to be clear, if I go to any site requiring WebGL, the detector fails and I'm shown whatever non-webgl content older browsers get.
