Re: upgrade to opengl 2.0

I don't think its possible to exchange the graphics chip in an eeePC. Even for most notebooks this is impossible.

Re: upgrade to opengl 2.0

ok, so you say that opengl version is dependent on chipset; it isn't possible to change opengl by updating  graphics drivers.

thanks

Pierre is right

Only OpenGL 1.4 for your chipset.
