I've been struggling with setting up opengl in ubuntu.

My glxinfo:

OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Ironlake Mobile 
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 9.1.3
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
OpenGL extensions:

I have a nvidia GT 520m card, how can I use opengl library by nvidia? I installed nvidia-current and nvidia-current-dev, but nothing happens. I need a newer version of opengl but it seems my intel integrated card only supports opengl 2.1.

My laptop:

Acer 4743g; 2g ddr3 memory; gt 520m graphics card.

Sounds like an Optimus problem. - genpfault
All the graphics cards use optimus technology, do all of them have the same problem? I installed bumblebee to accommodate optimus, but nothing more happened. Everytime I ran optirun to run a program, it crashed. - user2390930
