    I need Open GL 3 to run Team Fortress 2 via Steam Linux client.

    Will this give me what I need? http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/libqt4-opengl

    Just to remind users and devs that Ubuntu and its flavors have a long way to go to be as usr friendly as they should be.

    no. OpenGL is provided by the driver to your graphics card. What graphics card and driver for it do you use? as far as I know only the Intel Open Source driver and the proprietary other drivers actually have OpenGL 3.0 support.

      I'm afraid your information is wrong! Only version 2.1 support.:

      Code:
      steve7233@steve7233-HP-Pavilion-dv6-Notebook-PC:~$ glxinfo | grep OpenGL
OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset 
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 9.0
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
OpenGL extensions:

        Actually I am right. I am sure another member in the community will back me up. Your driver provides OpenGL and not some Qt library. Nonetheless, you are not going to get OpenGL 3.0 on that chipset. You need one of the current generation Intel graphics cards e.g. HD3000.

        Your card is old and will never support Open GL 3.0 and you can't just install a library for it!

          Here shows you the output of an HD3000 and a Nvidia Chipset.

OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Sandybridge Mobile 
OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 8.0.4
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30

            Maybe this is why TF2 for Windoz$e causes Windoz$e Vista Home Premium 64 Bit to crash!

                TF2 runs on DirectX/Direct3D on Windows so I don't think that’s the real issue.
