How to get Open-GL 3.0 for wine?

The interface for setting the product is worse than vad, It offers not a
clue as to how a user can find a suiable match. I am surprised that a group
of people who maintain Launchpad haven;t discovered regular expressions and
obvious thoughtful features like a topic hierarchy rather than giving a
yes/no response on a match. That is hardly considerate.

The question was about Open GL 3.0 on Wine under Ubuntu 2.04 LTS with a
Nvidia graphics card. Is that not specific enough?

Have you checked the Wine Appdb?

You can see your video chip with:

sudo lshw -C display

What is the output?

Thanks

$ sudo lshw -C display
[sudo]

Sorry, I could not change the product string, some admin could, it is for
Graphics card and Open GL.

The database doesn't say very much for the app I want to run which is Space
Engine, a simulation of stars, planets and galaxies. This app complains
about the version of Open GL, which it says needs to be 3.0. I would say
that the question about graphics card implies that mine is too small of
processor or graphics ram to run this. I have a six yearold AMD 64
motherboard with 2 or 3 GB of ram. Do i need to upgrade the Video card, and
to what can I upgrade?

Looks like yours is only OpenGL 3

No, my OpenGL is 1.6 according to Wine. I need OpenGL 3.0.

So, is the problem I'm having is that Wine thinks I have an older video driver? A Newer driver came with a software upgrade a few weeks ago. Do I need to run wineconfig to have it discover a newer driver?

I misspoke, Space Engine under wine says that I have Open GL 2.1, which is too down rev for it. It needs Open GL 3.0

Please, somebody, correct the For: for this question. I cannot find a correct match. I don't think this question is being seen by the correct people. I find it quite distressing that Launchpad is this unforgiving.

Your graphic card is of a very simple and old type. It is not supported by the most recent nVidia drivers anymore. In fact there is a legacy driver (version 304) that will support it. But that driver as well as the card do not have OpenGl 3.x support.
OpenGL 3 is supported from 8000 models on: http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2443/~/what-nvidia-products-support-opengl-3.0%2F3.1%3F

Thank You, Thomas Kruger, this confirms what I thought was the case. I consider the problem solved.
