[Paraview] Graphical rendering: troubleshooting

[Hugo Gagnon]

As a matter of fact I believe this is the only OpenGL application I happen to have installed. In fact, now that you bring it, how can I check if my graphic card support OpenGL, or if I have it installed on my computer at all? I am using a built-in video GMA 950 on an Intel macbook. I have no idea how to update graphics drivers too. By now you probably figured out that I have limited Linux knowledge, therefore can you please provide me with command lines to run?

Hugo.

Do other OpenGL based applications work? Try updating your graphics drivers.
