[Neurodebian-users] openGL 3.3 for intel integrated graphic card ?

Thu Jun 5 11:13:54 UTC 2014

It is generally important to differ between OpenGL version and OpenGL core profile version. My intel card has core profile 3.3 and OPenGl 3.0. You can query all relevant version numbers via

$ glxinfo | grep version

glxinfo is in the mesa-utils package. I assume you now have OpenGL core 3.3 since you have a recent version of Mesa. If not, this might also be caused by your intel kernel driver or intel xorg driver.

Does mrtrix not compile? What exactly is the problem right now?

Cheers
Sebastian
