woes with vbos

Post by RobSis »

Hi.I've just saw Pioneer on the videos and it amazes me! But soon after, I've found that it's quite dependent on Vertex Buffer Object feature.Which my card seems to lack... Dammit, it's technology from 2003 and my card doesn't support it. :cry: It's Intel GMA 4500MHD and it troubled me few times already, but now I hate it officially :DDoes some other card manufacturers but ATI and nvidia supports it anyway?And are there _any_ chances for software vertex processing? Thanks for any info! Rob

The specs say it supports OpenGL 2.1 which should be enough. Are your drivers up to date?http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect

Well, I have newest version in my distro (debian squeeze), but linux intel drivers are still in development...It's good to know that the card itself supports it, though. There is still hope :D
