How to update OpenGL on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with Intel graphic card
I am trying to run Supertuxkart >= 0.9.2. It says that my video driver is too old. It wants OpenGL version 3 or greater. So I am trying to update OpenGL.
I have seen other posts about this issue (e.g. How to Update OpenGL with Intel graphics card Ubuntu 14.04 ), but none is working. So I am asking here.
The last thing I did was:
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends xserver-xorg-lts-xenial libqt5gui5 libgles1-mesa-lts-xenial libgles2-mesa-lts-xenial libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-xenial libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-xenial:i386 libglapi-mesa-lts-xenial:i386 libegl1-mesa-lts-xenial libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-xenial libgbm1-lts-xenial libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-xenial This updated mesa. I now have
OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945GM x86/MMX/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 1.4 Mesa 11.2.0However, supertuxkart still says I have OpenGL 2:
[info ] IrrDriver: OpenGL version: 2.1
[info ] IrrDriver: OpenGL vendor: Intel Open Source Technology Center
[info ] IrrDriver: OpenGL renderer: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945GM x86/MMX/SSE2
[info ] IrrDriver: OpenGL version string: 1.4 Mesa 11.2.0My graphic card is:
$ lspci
...
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
...Why OpenGL was not updated?
Thanks in advance.
Update Thanks Doug. Indeed, my graphic card does not support OpenGL version 3 or greater. I have verified it using OpenGL Extension Viewer. So, this is why nothing was working for updating OpenGL.
