    I have a hp compaq v6000 laptop with a GeForce Go 6150. The last driver I could find for it was made in 2006. I was wondering if there was any newer drivers or some solution either official or unofficial that could make it so I can test OpenGl 3.0-3.3 dependent programs on here.

    Check the laptopvideo2go forums for the newer drivers....

    The newest drivers might not be necessarily the best/most supportive for the Go 6150 considering its age. But these should be newer than the ones provided by HP. Make sure you use the modified inf in order for the driver to install on mobile GPU's.

    How would I use the inf file with the driver? Put it in some directory?

    Yeah, just extract the drivers and the inf file to the same directory and then run setup.

    How do find compatible ones? I entered in the string I found in my driver properties in the 'search term' boxes but are those the only ones that are compatible?

    The newest WHQL certified driver for the GeForce Go 6150 is currently version 197.45 if you use Windows Vista or Windows 7 -- the driver date is April 3rd, 2010. :)

    nVidia has a scanner program to see if you need a new driver. Unfortunately the mobile version of the 6150 is dependent on the manufacturer's driver.
