I run OpenGL in Ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop with a nvidia card. My laptop has a dual GPU (the nvidia one and the Intel integrated one).
I install the nvidia driver through the CUDA toolkit install (as I need both).
Because my laptop has 2 GPU cards, I have to install the nvidia driver with the --no-opengl-libs argument, which states not to replace GL libs (as they are the libs from the non-nvidia GPU).
My problem is that these non-nvidia GL libs are OpenGL 3.0 which is rather old.
What shall I do to make sure I use a more recent version of OpenGL?
The reference to the section of the Install Guide here mentioning --no-opengl-libs is in page 20.

Are you positive your GPUs even support anything newer then OpenGL.
-The manual indicates thatno-opengl-libs` is useful in the case your display isn't being driven by a Nvidia GPU, but clearly in your case, that is happening. So it isn't clear the reason you are using it. – Ramhound – 2017-09-08T13:58:18.427Actually I am not too sure which GPU is driving my display... But my nvidia gpu is rather advanced and supports GL 4.5 according to the specs.
