Intel HD3000 once again
Hello community,
my Dell E5420 with i5-2520 CPU and internal graphics HD3000 supports only OpenGL 3.1 which is not compatible with PrusaScli3r 2.1.0. The laptop is a bussines model 2014. On earlier Slicer versions there was an option for older graphics cards. Why did Prusa remove this from V 2.1.0. The most of us printer enthusiasts have little budget and do not want to upgrade their computer because of an Slicer-Update. Intel is not interested in an HD3000 update. What does prusa say about that?
Does anyone have a solution?
wbr, Karl

Best to post over at github where devs might actually respond. This is a peer-to-peer forum, and as such we have little ability to help change code. My notebook is probably in the same state: so I'll be stuck with 2.0 or older for slicing. But I have a desktop.
Have you tried running Plicer on a Rpi4 ? I'm not even sure it's possible, but the Rpi4 I am playing with seems to do some amazing stuff, and only $50.
RE: Intel HD3000 once again
A quick attempt yielded failure on the Rpi ... seems the code needs to be compiled for ARM for that to work. With all the Rpi/Octoprint users, you'd think that would be a default.

@tim-m30
thanks for feedback. I'll open a ticket on GitHub. Maybe i can find there a solution without changing the hardware.

Prusas answer (issue 3008):
2.1.0 implements texture compression for reduced graphics memory usage.
2.1.0 shall behave better than 2.0. We cannot rule out a bug on our side,
but until we collect enough data, we cannot do much. For now, you may try
to update your graphics driver.
I told them, that newest drivers are installed and Intel closed the support 2016. Now i have the choice:
change hardware, change system, change slicer....
My solution was: I installed Linux Ubuntu 18.04 on the same machine and Slicer 2.1.0 is running now without any problems.

Installing Linux fixes myriad problems. Glad you found good hardware support for legacy hardware on a current OS! Cheaper than replacing a perfectly functional computer.

You can test this latest git build to see if that recent commit resolves it for you (unless you blew away your Windows OS installation 😏 ):

i copied the data from zip file into my existing slicer2.1.0 folder (by overwriting existing files) and got following error:

RE: Intel HD3000 once again
My bad. I'm so used to building full debug builds for myself. If you visit the same releases page you will see a revised version. It includes the latest Microsoft VC_redist.x64.exe runtime installer. You should just extract the zip into its own folder (Desktop is fine) and run it from there since your just testing it.
RE: Intel HD3000 once again
Uninstalled current version 2.1.0, installed VC_redist_x64 (VC++), systemrestart, tryed as user and admin, always the same issue, after one second slicer lost the texture mk3.svg on display.

RE: Intel HD3000 once again
It looks like the dev responsible for trying to fix is going thru the effort of providing git builds himself. Just keep watching that github issue. I'm sure the dev will keep posting builds himself as he tackles this problem. Since he may be compiling a special test branch just keep trying out his posted test builds. Keep the feedback going there when you do.
RE: Intel HD3000 once again
Thanks, if something has changed, I will report!
