I have a DG45FC motherboard this board has a G45 Express Chipset which has X4500HD GMA on it. This chipset supports OpenGL 2.0/2.1. I have downloaded the latest graphic driver from Intel and installed it but XBMC still says that I am using the MS default OpenGL drivers and I need to download the latest OpenGL from my Video Card manufacture. I am using Vista.
I used GLView and it says the OpenGL version on my computer is 1.1.
What am I doing wrong or were do I get the OpenGL drivers for the X4500HD and X4500 video chipset. I looked every where.

Bumping this thread in case anyone knows more - I have the same issue with a GMA 500 graphics chipset. Intel drivers installed, but still seeing Microsoft as the VENDOR_ID and only OpenGL 1.1 support. (I'm aware that this is a driver issue rather than an XBMC issue, but someone out there hopefully knows more than I do about the current driver situation!)

but intel says i am running the latest for the GMA 500.

Just install newer alsa, it works perfectly then.
I use my Intel DG45FC perfectly with latest XBMC Live and newer alsa.
Next XBMC Live will contain the needed drivers though and should work out of the box, but I don't dare to promise anything as we haven't begun testing yet.
Cheers,
Tobias.
