    Hi,

    I'm trying to run Enemy Territory on my dv6-6150eb. So far I always have the common OpenGL error: "could not load OpenGL subsystem". I've tried numerious things like updating my Mobile Intel(R) HD Graphics and ATI Radeon HD 6770 drivers. First of all my ATI driver seems to be the latest and Intel doesn't let me update the current driver because it's a stock one from HP.
    Driver version: 8.830.6.1000

    (I also tried running the game in a standard 800x600 window. A wrong resolution can rarely result in an OpenGL error too.)

    I've read that there are issues with Minecraft on this type of notebooks because of the OpenGL too. Am I overlooking something here? Do you guys have some suggestions to fix this problem? Thanks in advance!

    PS: Don't ask me why I want to play Enemy Territory :cool:

    I clearly need to look better. You're right. After updating my BIOS and graphics driver the issue has been fixed. Thanks, this can be closed.
