The first tool you use should probably be lspci, but if you are interested in more details is you can use lshw.Įxample from my laptop: prompt>lspci | grep VGAĠ0:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)Ġ1:00. For Intel, there are only open source drivers. They are called nvidia-current for nvidia and fglrx for ATI. If your check turns up that your hardware supports OpenGL 2.0 (which most do), you can try the proprietary drivers. Ubuntu comes with open source versions, which are not bad, but generally a step behind the proprietary drivers released by the graphic card manufacturers (which are often referred to as binary drivers or proprietary drivers). There are multiple video drivers for each chip generation for Linux. To be able to run OpenGL libraries, you also need a driver which supports them. Remember that these only say which version the hardware supports. GeForce 7 series if you have a GeForce 7600 GS NVidia graphic cards - here you have to click to the page for the correct generation, e. Then go to Wikipedia's comparison tables for video cards to find out the OpenGL version your card supports. However, you will need to ensure that you have downloaded and installed a recent driver for your graphics hardware.

Read through the list until you have seen something about ATI or nVidia or one of Intel's models. Downloading OpenGL In all three major desktop platforms (Linux, macOS, and Windows), OpenGL more or less comes with the system. By registering your device, you can easily manage your product warranty, get technical support and keep track of your repair status. This lists everything connected over PCI or PCI express, including the video card. Public class GameView extends GLSurfaceView implements GLSurfaceView.I am afraid you'll have to open the command line of your first day of Linux (don't worry, happened to me too).

Here is the source (I'm an extreme novice): Sorry for the verbosity, I really have no idea why it isn't working on the phone. I am hoping that someone who is well experienced in both OpenGL ES 2.0 and Android will assist me.

However, when I try to use it on a ASUS ZenFone 2E (Android 5.0.1) (Prepaid Phone) it simply shows the clear color of the background with no rotating model. I am using a model loader that works well in the Emulator. I am doing some simple tests with OpenGL ES 2.0 for Android.
