Nothing showing

Can't get anything showing.
I'm a shader noob, but experienced developer/geek.
Thanks for any input!
Is this because I don't have a proper gfx card?

Yeah, I think it would cook your ThinkPad if it did run. FragM will use 100% GPU for extended periods depending on the render task. Sorry, it was never intended to run on labtop or notebook style machines. Recommend a discrete gfx card preferably nVidia (that's what the development machine has) reportedly works on ATI too but not good for intel or APU chips.
Ok, thank you :) ..I was looking for something like an "offline shadertoy", search goes on..
edit
If others come across this, I found an alternative here: https://github.com/dfranx/SHADERed
try adding "#version 330 core" at the top of the shader - at least on my Debian Linux with Mesa (amdgpu) I just get blank screen in FragM if I don't specify a core profile...
