I have a Geforce FX Go5650 with the latest drivers on my dell laptop. I can’t get:
GL_ARB_fragment_shader
GL_ARB_vertex_shader
GL_ARB_shader_objects
GL_ARB_shader_language_100
to work. Aren’t they supported with this card? How can I get them to work?
I don’t get it, since NVIDIA has a tutorial ON THIER WEBSITE using these! Please tell me what is up!
Using “glew”, in the tutorial I got off of NVIDIA’s site, it says the extensions aren’t supported!
Try a this driver:

NVidia doesn’t support Go chips in it’s drivers. You have to use DELL drivers. Usually this drivers are outdated. But… there is a trick…
Get latest forceware drivers (FW 61.71, www.guru3d.com ) and dl inf patch from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
Install this new drivers and you can use GLSL.
yooyo
yooyo,
It worked!
WOO WOO!
My computer looks rather funky when windows is starting up (like it isn’t exactly drawing to some pieces of the screen), but, oh well!
I don’t exactly know what a forceware driver exactly is, so I’m going to read up on that. Thanks for your help!
