OpenGL or Driver Troubles?

**BeoWulf** · 03-29-2012, 04:16 AM

Hi,

im working on a openGL-project and have some troubles with the visualisation of my project. On my Computer everything looks fine, but on my Laptop something gets wrong. See here:

Thats the right one (on my PC):

and the bad one (on my laptop):

It´s 1:1 the same source code. And i dont know whats the problem.
Here some information about my systems:

I think you have given us everything except the useful information!, eg OpenGL version and profile used by your application.
Do you detect and use extensions? How, and which are reported on each platform?
What about OpenGL version? Does your app rely upon some specific minimum version?

The biggest problem is this one:

Intel(R) HD Graphics Family

...as Intel is notoriously bad with OpenGL.

I dont know how to check the openG-Version. I found just some unserious tools which i dont want to install. I use Windows7. Isn´t there another Method to check it?
Btw: I use the OpenTK - GameWindow.

**kRogue** · 03-30-2012, 12:34 PM

I dont know how to check the openG-Version.

Here is easy way (assuming compatibility profile which most likely what you are using)

Code :

std::cout << "\n" << glGetString(GL_VERSION)
          << "\n" << glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS)
          << "\n" << glGetString(GL_VENDOR);

**BeoWulf** · 03-30-2012, 02:33 PM

i never used c++. what should i (#include) to can use these methods?

glGetString(...)

thx

**ZbuffeR** · 04-01-2012, 08:21 AM

Just printf the strings returned by each glGetString call.

**BeoWulf** · 04-01-2012, 12:28 PM

I used this code:

Code :

/*************************************************************/ 
#include "StdAfx.h"
#include <stdio.h> 
#include <windows.h> 
#include <GL\gl.h> 
/*************************************************************/ 
#pragma comment(lib, "opengl32.lib") 
/*************************************************************/ 
int main() 
{ 
    printf("OpenGL Check\n"); 
    printf("\nOpenGL Version: %s\n", glGetString(GL_VERSION)); 
    printf("\tglGetError: %x\n", glGetError()); 
    printf("OpenGL Extensionen: %s\n", glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS)); 
    printf("\tglGetError: %x\n", glGetError()); 
 
    getchar(); 
 
    return(0); 
} 
/*************************************************************/

and got the following result:

OpenGL Check

OpenGL Version: (null)
glGetError: 502
OpenGL Extension: (null)
glGetError: 502

**Alfonse Reinheart** · 04-01-2012, 01:39 PM

You're supposed to initialize OpenGL and get a valid context before calling GL functions.

**BeoWulf** · 04-01-2012, 01:48 PM

Is it that hard to show how? As more as this is no software i want to write and profit from it, just want to check my troubles.

thx

**Alfonse Reinheart** · 04-01-2012, 07:52 PM

... show how?

Didn't you write the OpenGL program that you're talking about? You must already have some library, code, or whatever that you use to create and manage that OpenGL window. Indeed, you could just hack your current code to dump those strings into a file once your OpenGL window finished opening.

So, did you write that application or not?
