the NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500 graphic adapter on my old XP system is fairly old and seems not on list of supported Chrome HW; however, I managed to enable 3d transforms on Chrome, using this:
- in address bar, go to chrome://flags/
- Override software rendering list -> enable
Now I'm looking for a similar trick to enable 3d css on Opera 12.16.
Testing is done with this page: http://jsfiddle.net/amustill/Qh8YV/ which displays a simple 3d rotated div. This test succeeds on FF, Safari, Chrome, but fails on Opera.
Similar result with this simple test:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<style type="text/css">
.outer {
background-color: gold;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
position: relative;
perspective: 300px;
perspective-origin: 50% 50%;
transform-style: preserve-3d;
-o-perspective: 300px;
-o-perspective-origin: 50% 50%;
-o-transform-style: preserve-3d;
-webkit-perspective: 300px;
-webkit-perspective-origin: 50% 50%;
-webkit-transform-style: preserve-3d;
}
.inner {
text-align: center;
background-color: red;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
position: absolute;
top: 50px;
left: 50px;
font-family: Arial;
font-weight: bold;
transform: rotateY(45deg);
-o-transform: rotateY(45deg);
-webkit-transform: rotateY(45deg);
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="outer">
<div class="inner">
is this 3d?<br>
is this 3d?<br>
is this 3d?<br>
is this 3d?<br>
is this 3d?<br>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The div is unrotated on Opera.
In Opera's error console I found these messages:

Questions:
- DOES Opera support 3d transforms?
- If yes: what can the problem be - the old HW?, the code?
- Is there a workaround?
Let me post this as an answer too, so that it's visible at a more prominent place.
Opera 12 and earlier do not support CSS 3D Transforms, they are available as of Opera 15, which is more or less a new browser based on Chromium.
So no need to worry, there is no workaround for this, it's simply not supported.
