I need to point to Intel graphics card drivers on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. How can I do that?












0














I am using this software VAPOR3 and the developers of that software want me to use Intel Graphics card drivers rather than Mesa. How can I do that ? When I type



 glxinfo | grep -i opengl


I get these messages



OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 630 (Kaby Lake GT2)
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.5 (Core Profile) Mesa 18.0.5
