Master20111107 on/for Ubuntu gets OGL error

Post by NRoach44 »

I built the latest master build, and run it on my laptop, it spits out an error saying I need support for OpenGL 2.0. I'm pretty sure it does, as it will run Minecraft, WZ 2.3.9 and Compiz. Did I do something wrong in the compile stage?

On Ubuntu you can goto System/Administration/ then click additional drivers this should allow you to see your opengl version and or update your card drivers If needed

I'm not sure about Minecraft, but WZ 2.3.9 and Compiz certainly don't require hardware support for OpenGL 2.0.

Well, I'm pretty sure it should still have it..

Additional drivers wont work as its an Intel chip.

According to Wikipedia, the FOSS drivers for my chip support OGL 2.0, but several commands say that my chip doesn't.

I shall research more.
