Hello! Im posting this in "software" because i simply do'nt know if my concern is a "software" or "hardware" matter... (i know, that sounds odd)
My computer can't handle OpenGL. It's a 13 year old Fujitsu/Siemens AmiloPro V2055 laptop, graphics is VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP Version 6.14.10.0284-16.94.44.51 (no idea what that means), OS is XP. On the display-GUI is a "OpenGL"-logo, but no settings or version-info (likely V0.01). In Stellarium, Celestia etc. i get disorted graphics and a close to zero frame-rate. Could'nt find any info about this at Fujitsu and in www. In BIOS i changed graphics memory from 16 to 32 to 64MB - no effect other than more or less RAM...
My simple (maybe silly) question: Is my graphics-chip too old = i can forget about OpenGL, or do i just need some to-date-software (in the style of directX). Www if full of "Get-OpenGl-Now!"-sites, but it's likely malware and i do'nt dare to dl anything...
Thanks for some advice!
