Raster is right on this one.  If you have two different graphics cards,
and one of them supports OpenGL, but the other does not, then you
should only get that message on the graphics card that does not.  So
it's not your system that is not supporting OpenGL, just that one
graphics card.

On the other hand, saying your system does not support OpenGL, when the
card you are not using supports it fine, would be wrong.  It's the
graphics card that is at fault.

On the gripping hand, if there's only one card, or it's the driver
that's at fault, then saying your screen does not support OpenGL is
still correct.  B-)

Note that two different graphics cards is more common than you might
think.  Motherboards these days often come with built in crappy
graphics cards, as well as the built in crappy sound cards they have
come with for a while now.  Lots of people would put a real graphics
card in.  I did after trying out my motherboards crappy graphics. lol

For the record, I have about a dozen motherboards in my kitchen with
built in graphics cards.  I expect them all to be crappy, and I expect
some of them don't support OpenGL.  For my clients purposes, these
deficiencies are not a problem.
