You need to ask OBS. It's their program, we wouldn't know.

I make the ask here because the error is for gpu driver and I think this has to do with the os general... But I am novices with Linux so I don't know much well I ask obs thenx for the response.
And again sorry for my bad English

I have an Intel GMA45 so it fits.
OBS asks for OpenGL 3.x or higher. That is why it says that the drivers are old. It's just the inappropriate message.
I made it work using some command line parameter. I forgot the details. It worked, but the performance was way below usability so I gave it up.
The only solution is an upgrade to the CPU, which boils down to buying a new computer.
