Question

I’m writing some OpenGL 3 program on C++, and now i have an issue on my laptop Lenovo Thinkpad e320 (Intel HD Graphics 3000). It works fine on my PC (ATI Radeon HD 5870).

Code near the error is following:

bool GLWindowCreate(const char *title, int width, int height, bool fullScreen){
...
    g_hRC = wglCreateContextAttribsARB(g_hDC, 0, attribs);
    if (!g_hRC || !wglMakeCurrent(g_hDC, g_hRC))
    {
        LOG_ERROR("Creating render context fail (%d)\n", GetLastError());
        return false;
    }
...
}

All compiles fine and i saw this error in log file.

I’m using Windows 8 (both on PC and laptop). Graphic card on laptop supports OpenGL 3. I have found some answer about same problem that i need to turn off hardware acceleration, but it seems there is no way to do this in Win 8.

I have accidentally found a decision. Problem was there:

int attribs[] =
    {
        WGL_CONTEXT_MAJOR_VERSION_ARB, 3,
        WGL_CONTEXT_MINOR_VERSION_ARB, 3,
        WGL_CONTEXT_FLAGS_ARB,         WGL_CONTEXT_FORWARD_COMPATIBLE_BIT_ARB,
        WGL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_MASK_ARB,  WGL_CONTEXT_CORE_PROFILE_BIT_ARB,
        0
    };

Intel HD Graphics 3000 supports only OpenGL 3.1, not 3.3, so i have had to change

WGL_CONTEXT_MINOR_VERSION_ARB, 3,

to

WGL_CONTEXT_MINOR_VERSION_ARB, 1,

Thanks everyone and sorry for worry, hope my problem solution will help someone
