Hello everyone

I learn OpenGL here at a course in university, and found it much easier to write code in Ubuntu 8.10 running on VirtualBox under a Windows XP host (all 32 bit only).

From observation, when I was using 2.1.4 the GL_RENDERER output of glxheads was "SOFTARE RASTERIZER" and the GL_VENDOR was mesa libraries.

Installed 2.2, installed guest additions again onto the virtual machine and glxhead gives me "GL_VERSION 1.5 Chromium 1.9", "GL_VENDOR: Humper" and "GL_RENDERER: Chromium".

However, my OpenGL codes seem to crash. Well, they compile (gcc -lGL -lglut code.c) fine, but when executed they just output a blank white screen.

Am I missing something?

(Oh and a quick edit - I am using Intel Mobile 965 Chipset and I think I have the right drivers for it on Windows XP)

Depends on the code you're writing. Check opengl errors returned, host log etc.

OpenGL itself didn't return any errors. The program compiled and executed.

How do I check logs?

Windows Host + Intel graphics card = not working OpenGL. Sorry, go complain at Intel for releasing such crappy drivers.
