opengl 2.0 for winxp, intel945

  • Follow


Hello,
    I need to run some opengl program on my laptop (winxp). My laptop
does not have a graphics card but only a intel 945GM chip. Where can I
get the opengl 2.0 or a software emulation?
   I am currently using  the opengl 1.4 in  VS2008. I want to keep it
rather than have the newer version overwrite it in case the opengl2.0
refuses to work. What should I do?
Thank you.

Nowhere. In the Windows world anything beyond OpenGL 1.1 is delivered in
form of extensions. Those are brought by the graphics driver, depending on
the capabilities of the used hardware.

Just use OpenGL 2.0: Access the proper extensions and you're done. Use a
extension loader library like GLEW to keep things simple.
