Description
We will need a mechanism, similar to prism-d3d pipe, to qualify HW/driver to use prism-es2 pipe for Mac and Linux deployment.

Verified.

Verified that the system is in place to guard against unsupported hardware and blacklisted drivers.

Thanks for the explanation!

This qualifying work is done on top of the general detection and fallback mechanism. It only applied to a small set of GPUs that perform badly or buggy.

Could this not be solved more generally, by detecting failures and falling back to j2d in response, rather than relying solely on a manual GPU blacklist? For what it's worth, I can't say that I'd be confident deploying any serious JavaFX application to Mac OS X users otherwise.

Yes, use -Dprism.order=j2d to select a SW pipe.

Is there any workaround? A way to override the graphics pipeline is setup at runtime?

Schedule this task for gfx-sprint20

I'm also getting this on an ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512 M card in a Mac Pro (circa 2008) running Lion

SQE: will be tested as much as we can as part of ES2 implementation testing

We might need to blacklist this card (AMD X1600) on Mac.
