The simplest way to install your own drivers is download them from your manufacturer site...

But that doesnt work because the manufacturer doesnt have a drivers download,, theres only one download on the web (that i have found in 2 days) that doesnt suport OpenGL
If your manufacturer/video card does not support OpenGL probably there is no installer that can resolve your problem :(

Which is no surprise, since the MagicMedia 256 AV is a 6 year old 4MB graphics chipset without anything even remotely similar to 3D acceleration...
If you really want to run OpenGL on such an obsolete system, then you have to use a software implementation, such as Mesa.
i had same problem.. i have aspire 1605 with ati radeon 9000 mobility..
yha can download openGL as sourcecode and recompile it on your system... after that(if not allready done) replace the files in the correct folders... and setup your compiler for your openGL prog...
if that aint work there are million other ways to make it work

*sigh*
You cannot recompile OpenGL, because OpenGL is just a specification. You have to install a graphics card driver exporting the appropriate calls. If such a driver is not available from your notebook or chipset manufacturer, then you won't get hardware accelerated OpenGL.

No, there is no way to make it work on his obsolete system, except using a (slow) software only solution such as Mesa.

Not.
Open in OpenGL doesn't stand for Open Source, but for Open Design. As said in the thread.
And you will need VC++ to compile it using the dsw (a workspace).
