How to enable OpenGL 2.0 and WebGL on GMA 3150?

I have a Dell Mini 1012 which has an Intel N450 processor and GMA 3150 integrated graphics card running Ubuntu 10.10. According to Intel's website the graphics card supports OpenGL 2.0.

But when I type glxinfo in terminal the OpenGL version string gives me the following

OpenGL version string: 1.4 Mesa 7.9-devel

I have installed the latest drivers but it didn't work. So, how can I enable OpenGL 2.0 on this card?

1. Install driconf from the software center .

2. Press Alt + F2 and type driconf and press enter .

3. Change Enable limited ARB_fragment_shader support on 915/945 from No to Yes by clicking on the button next to it

Ubuntu 10.10 should contain the drivers for the GMA 3150. This seems a slightly odd situation, with the Intel website saying:

Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 supports OpenGL* 1.5 with Microsoft* Windows* and OpenGL* 2.0 with Linux*

I would suggest you report a bug, by pressing Alt+F2 and entering ubuntu-bug xserver-xorg-video-intel. This will automatically attach information about your hardware setup to the bug report. This way the Ubuntu graphics team will get to see your problem and help you solve it.
