Which I noted above has already been proven to have a bugged OpenGL library DLL.
Why are you surprised? Again, above (and in several related topic threads,) I clearly stated that the earliest version known to work is 10.18.10.4061. You’re now up above that, so now you can enjoy SketchUp 2017.
Yes, end users should always check with their computer manufacturer first. (I discussed this clearly above with my own issues updating two Toshiba notebooks, and how none of the basic driver packages from Intel would install.)
(Well, you know the old saying about making assumptions …)
Dell (and every other computer or graphics card manufacturer,) does not start from scratch with graphics driver code. They get the base code from the GPU manufacturers (Intel, AMD/ATI, Nvidia, Matrox, etc.)
Then the computer (or graphics card) manufacturer tweaks the driver code especially for their machines / cards, compile it, and sometimes package it with OEM configuration utilities. They often just keep the same build numbers as the GPU build. (Rhetorical: Why create confusion by using a different versioning system?)
- Sometimes there is another level between these two parties, the motherboard manufacturer,… who’ll collect drivers from chip manufacturers, do some tweaking, and pass the tweaked code on to the computer manufacturer(s).
No problem. Yes. This topic should be easily found via forum search.
