Elementary OS not recognizing OpenGL Renderer

I've installed Blender 2.9 on my kid's laptop and now I'm trying to run it. I get the following error message:

Code:
Error! Unsupported graphics card or driver.
A graphics card and driver with support for OpenGL 3.3 or higher is required.
The Laptop in question is Lenovo-G450
elementary OS 5.1.7 Hera

My lspci output with my graphics information:

Code:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev
 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
        Subsystem: Lenovo Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
        Memory at f4000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M]
        Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
        I/O ports at 1800 [size=8]
        [virtual] Expansion ROM at 000c0000 [disabled] [size=128K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: i915
        Kernel modules: i915
Display recognized as follows:
Code:
-Display-
Resolution		: 1366x768 pixels
OpenGL Renderer		: (Unknown)
X11 Vendor		: The X.Org Foundation
*Question*
Is Elementary optimally recognizing my graphics. If not is there a way to update this?

In an attempt to make some headway I installed the mesa-utils and now my display information reads as follows:

Code:
Display
Resolution	1366x768 pixels
OpenGL Renderer	Mesa DRI Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset (CTG)
X11 Vendor	The X.Org Foundation

Please post the output of glinfo in CODE tags such as follows. The GL_VERSION is the most important info.

Code:
$ glinfo | grep GL_VERSION
GL_VERSION: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 390.132

$ glinfo
GL_VERSION: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 390.132
GL_RENDERER: GeForce GTX 550 Ti/PCIe/SSE2
GL_VENDOR: NVIDIA Corporation
....

I wasn't able to find glinfo and googling it kept referencing the command 'glxinfo' so I am assuming that is what you meant? Just let me know where I can install glinfo if I am in error. And glxinfo | grep GL_VERSION gave me no output so I submit my glxinfo output here below for your critique or approval.

In the meantime I'll search the forum and duckduck a bit to see if I can find a way to provide you with output more akin to what you were asking from me. Thank you.

I wasn't able to find glinfo and googling it kept referencing the command 'glxinfo' so I am assuming that is what you meant?
glinfo and glxinfo are different commands. glinfo is for OpenGL itself while glxinfo is for the GL X extensions. I have both commands on Manjaro.

Some distributions don't provide both commands. I came across a page where a Slackware user was complaining that glinfo was just a symlink to glxinfo. Elementary OS apparently just doesn't supply glinfo.

However glxinfo does provide info about the OpenGL library itself. You would use the following

Code:
$ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"
OpenGL version string: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 390.132
Looking at your output we get the following:

Code:
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 20.0.8
This means you have OpenGL version 2.1 running on your laptop. This explains why you can't run Blender as it requires at least version 3.3.

You are limited to OpenGL 2.1 due to your Intel Series 4 mobile chipset.

https://software.intel.com/content/w...nd-beyond.html

Another user here on LQ had the identical problem.

https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...er-4175677588/

You could try using an older version of Blender.

Blender 2.79 is the last release to support OpenGL 2.1 GPU's.
Blender 2.8x will not run on your laptop.

Sorry, when I opened up my browser I assumed that the thread was already refreshed and I didn't see your updated reply until I had posted the following ...

I still wasn't able to find how to get glinfo on my system but I think that running glxinfo | grep ^[a-Z] is giving me what you are looking for ...

Code:
name of display: :0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.4
server glx extensions:
client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI

client glx extensions:
GLX version: 1.4
GLX extensions:
Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer):
OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset (CTG)
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 20.0.8
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
OpenGL extensions:
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 2.0 Mesa 20.0.8
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 1.0.16
OpenGL ES profile extensions:
**Note: Your post right before this one gave me the answer, albeit a disappointing one, that I needed. Thank you.
