So, I say it again, yes this cute little chip has freaking OpenGL 2.1 capabilties, and good ones, and yes it's compatible with windows 10, but it needs a bit of attention. Then patching JRE a bit to make it accept this custom unsigned driver, and everything work. The solution? A patch made for windows 8.1, using windows update sh177y compatiblity drivers, replacing dlls by w7 ones, adding desktop software gpu manager, and patching the windows registry, enabling openGL capatibilities to be detected by softwares on top of already being there. So yes, this chip support openGL 2.1, whatever your sacred documentation says. PS: I perfectly know what kind of framerate and performance I can ask from a 8-9 years old integrated graphics, and won't complain about that, I'm just awaiting to use it to its full little potential on a suprisingly smooth w10! I have a graphic media adaptater that rocks freaking 2.1 opengl, I want to freaking use it! That's the least the hardware we buy is supposed to provide, right? I'm willing to try everything needed, really, as this computer is a spare one, having to restor it and stuff is not really important, BUT, I just want it to WORK. The one W10 originally put, with no dedicated software nor menu on desktop-rightclick wasn't better and reported the same issues. I know the driver is quite old, but that's just the one I'm actually on. I tried 9 different drivers, cleaned between each attempts, direct X works fine, but OpenGL still don't, often reporting as openGL 1.0 in most softwares. Still, some softwares keep crashing cause of openGL issues, and, as a good test, I tried minecraft, which reports the famous "Pixel format not accelerated". Ī software dedicated to openGL support detection reported this: (see pictures) Precisely the GMA 4500(M)(HD) on a lenovo x200, with the following hardware ID: PCI\VEN_8086
