I get a lot of "FRAGMENT glCompileShader "" FAILED" error messages and no trees. I made a search on Google and it seems that my graphics card does not support some extensions. It is a NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 460 using the 1.0.9631-r1 driver, as it is called in Portage in Gentoo Linux. There is a new version called 96.43.01 that supports my card, but I would like to hear what you say, before I upgrade. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
