[SOLVED]Find out Intel chipset and OpenGL version

CarterCox · 2018-03-18 14:52:11

Hello! I'm trying to find out my intel graphics chipset and the OpenGL it supports. I'm having trouble finding it online and I wanted to know if there are commands to do this. Thanks!

glxinfo | grep "glx version string"
lspci | grep Display

Thanks, worked for the most part, except I can't find the specific chipset.

Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller

I read in a website it wash GM45 express, but I'd like to make sure.

Thanks fot the answer!

See https://ark.intel.com/products/35134/In … roller-Hub and https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en … brief.html
The 82GM45 is the display part of GM45, GS45, and GL40 Express.

Ok I just learned something new

glxinfo | grep Device

Output on my system

[ugjka@archee bresenhams]$ glxinfo | grep Device
    Device: Mesa DRI Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset  (0x2a42)

I think I might have the same chipset as you

Thanks! I did read those, but it doesn't really tell you to which processors they correspond. There is a PDF that reads:

But it doesn't mention my procesor (P8700). Maybe it's because it's not "optimized" for it?

Did you check the Device from glxinfo as ugjka demonstrated?

CarterCox · 2018-03-18 20:59:46

ugjka, we should have the same chipset, but I can't know for shure because my output is different which is weird. Which drivers did you install? I installed xf86-video-intel and mesa, then the xorg-drivers group just in case.

loqs, I did, but that only gives me my OpenGL version (2.1), not the chipset. Output of both commands:

archie@ArchHP ~ % lspci|grep Display
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)

archie@ArchHP ~ % glxinfo|grep "OpenGL version string"
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 17.3.6

ugjka · 2018-03-18 21:01:19

Read my last post carefully...

glxinfo | grep Device

Alternatively just go through the glxinfo manually without grepping it has a lot of info

Yeah, my bad, I got the commands mixed up. It is the same apparenlty, heh. Thanks!

ugjka · 2018-03-18 21:24:46

This sounds like an XY problem though, why do you need that info?

CarterCox · 2018-03-18 21:55:07

Sorry but I don't know what XY stands for here.

I wanted to know my OpenGL version initially because I wasn't able to run Resident Evil 4 in Dolphin apparently because my system wasn't compatible with OpenGL 3.0. So I wanted to make sure that was the case. It clearly is

About the chipset model, it was from reading some Xorg-related man pages. I kept seeing "compatible with YYY chipset and above" and sometimes I couldn't determine if it would work for me or not, so I took advantage of the thread to ask both questions, and avoid creating 2 different ones.

So, as you can see, you solved 2 different problems at once. Congratulations! And thank you!

ugjka · 2018-03-18 22:07:24

You can try to force it by prepending MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.1 MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=140 variables to your application in your terminal

CarterCox · 2018-03-19 09:43:41

Hmm that's a nice trick. I'll definitely try. Thanks!

ugjka · 2018-03-19 11:55:24

I just ran this opengl 3.3 demo https://github.com/skeeto/opengl-demo with

MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.33 MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=330 ./demo

otherwise it fails

Also I can now run OBS

Wow that's excellent. I never thought about tricking the program.

Probably the performance will suck but it's a good thing to know. Maybe it'll crash when some 3.0 features are required. Anyways I'll try it as soon as I can.

Just found another way LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 it forces software renderer. But it is utterly slow for obvious reasons
