Emulating OpenGL 2.0 for Intel 915GM graphics?

returning to topic , i was check with opengl extension viewer and shows that intel drivers support opengl 1.4 100% but 1.5 only in 66% and 2.0 in 11% , is this because of hardware (915gm) or because of drivers?

 

opengl 1.5 is the vertex objects

and 2.0 is the shader objects.. this is purely hardware

 

if 915gm have pixel shader 2.0 then only problem is in vertex shader? cant intel drivers emulate vertex shader and caps for opengl like in directx?

 

lol

ok its like this

Pixel shader requires the use of the T&L engine.. the intel chip can't do this via hardware so technically its a false pixel shader and will suffer greatly.

the vertex line can be emulated by cpu but you'll just make the performace hit worse

your better off just using fixed function calls

 

uh

i have another problem ... i was try run diferend opengl demos and always i have error : ARB_multisample and EXT_texture3D and EXT_texture_edge_clamp <- not found .... But OpenGL Extension Viewer shows that 915GM support it .... What is wrong?? (multisample is in opengl v1,3 rest in 1,2)

 

This makes me think if Intel's solution works AT ALL.

 

i wonder too , but games in directx are runing , so .. maybe is something wrong with software , i cant run 3dmark2001 since i install SP1 on win2003

 

have you set hard acceleration back to full?

 

i have all set to full hardware
