Open GL2.0

Post by equitius »

I've recently purchased a Fit-PC2i running Windows 7. I use it for running all my astronomy gear.

My planetarium program requires Open GL 2.0. The default driver only accomodates Open GL 1.1. I can't locate an updated driver anywhere

Do I need to roll back to XP (and try and find an old version somewhere) or is there another smarter driver available?

New EMGD driver 1.8 is said to have OpenGL 2 support in Windows 7

Thanks but no joy there - I downloaded the driver and installed it successfully but without any change.

Is there some way to stop the graphics accelerator defaulting to the most basic setting?

I also ran the driver update feature on the Intel website - but it was unable to identify any driver suitable. It did note that this may be because the chip has been modified by the manufacturer.

Where t o next?

OK - I have realised the error of my ways. The drivers were downloaded but need to be configured.

This is where I could do with some suggestions.

I am running the Fit headless, accessing it with RealVNC. I'm not sure what configuration or package to use. Nor do I know whether to select VBIOS or Windows 7 or both as the Target OS.

Any suggestions would be welcome
