The problem is that Intel does not do special driver for Linux, their
hardware is supposedly supported by X11/Mesa and the proprietary
drivers for ATI/nVidia cards simply don't work (tried with recent
cards about half an year ago).
Support for Intel® Graphics
They weren't particularly good until recently, but they are there.
These *are* the X11/Mesa drivers and they *are* bad as in having few
features, possibly in part because of limitations of the Intel
hardware.
The stability has also worsened recently. Too many chipset revisions
with different hardware issues I guess.
Thanks

Sorry to hear that. I do most of my work in Windows. I just booted my desktop into Mint Linux 7 which already had the Nvidia 3D drivers installed then installed ruby 1.8.7, glut, ruby-opengl and ran the gears_with_shaders.rb file just fine. I've had the best success with Nvidia under Linux. Even the Geforce Go 6150 in my old HP tx1000 laptop supports OpenGL 2.1 in Mint Linux 8. I've had some success with ATI in Linux but it varies greatly for different models and from distro-to-distro. I'd heard that the Intel x3100 IGP and later chipsets were supposed to support OpenGL 2.0+ but haven't had direct experience with them.

The nVIdia drivers may have better 3D support but no matter what I do
I cannot set up rotated display properly on them. The glue for binary
ATI drivers did not even compile for me.
The mesa library should support OpenGL 2.1 since version 7 but it
seems that support for different features in hardware accelerated
drivers varies per chipset due to hardware limitations or some
features may be simply not implemented for some hardware.
I would also think that higher level libraries like Ogre or
CrystalSpace would make a better job at isolating the developer from
these hardware and driver differences than raw OpenGL.

I don't have such system at hand either, only i945G/GM (something like
GMA900 or GMA950) here.

I tried with nVidia drivers on Debian Lenny and the demo still does
not run although glxinfo now reports OpenGL version 2.1.
It sounds somewhat offtopic here but I am not sure what the problem
would be and where would be the more appropriate place to send this
then.
Thanks

I tested Ruby-processing and I saw good 3D samples made thanks to
OpenGL.
But I did'nt find people using it to do something.
I just found some samples using free-context, but it's not 3D.
Does someone use Ruby-Processing to made something greater than a 15
seconds technical demo ?
