Hi Steven I think I tracked down the issue with at least correctly recognizing and notifying you that the OpenGL requirements could not be met. There should be a new nightly ready, I will tag and release 0.7.1 in the next few days (with a fix for at least one other issue we uncovered today).
In terms of drivers, looking around it seems that downloading the driver directly from Intel is likely to give the best OpenGL support, once we have a new binary I will make it available. Thank you for your feedback, hopefully we can get this working (or at least fail gracefully).
