I believe only the GMA X3500 and the GMA X4500 family. Your hardware accel to a new version of the OpenGL reference implementation.

Is there any way of getting proper OpenGL working with Intel GMA 4500MHD on a laptop? Currently on Ubuntu 12.04 AMD64. Intel Core2Duo P8400 CPU on an Acer Aspire 5735 laptop. For some reason I thought Intel were the best supporters of Open Source graphics drivers for Linux.:/ Among other things, I am trying to get the accelerated version of GoogleMaps through Chromium, with MapsGL and WebGL enabled.
I also have an HP Touchsmart with a Nvidia card, and Google Maps (MapsGL) and WebGL work properly on Chromium. Thanks in advance. Sorry, I am not a linux expert. But I have another computer with the same Ubuntu version. 12.04 AMD64, that one with an Nvidia card, 9500 (I think), and WebGL and the accelerated Google Maps (MapsGL) work by default.
In both computers I am using Chromium. Intel drivers are blacklisted in Firefox if you have Mesa below 7.10.3 installed.
There is a reason for it, because these lower versions will crash. If you have MesaLib below version 8, only OpenGL 2 is supported, which may be preventing some cool apps and games to run. Last but not least, without libxtc_dxtn installed, you don't get S3TC texture support in Mesa, which will also break a lot of things. Make sure, you have Mesa 8 and libxtc_dxtn and you are good to go with your Intel card.
Hi, thanks for the answer. As you can see in my other response, it seems I am over Mesa 8 OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 8.0.2 But I still have no OpenGL activated, at least it seems since MapsGL doesn't work. How do I install libxtc_dxtn?
Would that activate OpenGL in my computer?
Hello, If the laptop is using Intel 2nd Generation Core Processors, with Intel HD Graphics 2000 or 3000, it should be possible to download latest drivers from the manufacturer's website. If not, you could try downloading the latest graphics driver at (Look under Graphics->Processor Graphics->Intel HD 2000/ 3000 drivers or run the auto detect applet). Hope this helps. Thanks -deepak thank you for the reply. Yeah my System is Intel Core i3-350M and my system OpenGL support 2.1 BUT! Intel HD Did had OpenGL 3.but the problem is.its incomplete.There`s some missing extension that Intel HD doesn`t have.I using OpenGL Extension Viewer 4.0 and this is what i get: Intel HD had OpenGL 3,3.1,3.2 and 3.3 but only OpenGL 3 have almost complete version. I already update my graphic card,even newer version.But still same.
I just thinking,how to make that extension supported? Or i should use Linux Ubuntu instead because mostly users saying that the graphics support OpenGL 3. The i3-350M is not a 'second-generation' Core processor, in Intel's marketing parlance. It only supports OpenGL 2 with current drivers, and it looks like they'll never update its drivers to support OpenGL 3. A shame, as I think it should be able to - it does support D3D10 after all. I previously asked about this but got no reply. The OpenGL Extensions Viewer application reports things in a slightly confusing way IMO.
