Yup, Gem loads and so does [gemwin]. An ATI from 1998 supports some

I don't think that is the case.  That ATI part does not support the
OpenGL functionality in question at all whether through the NV or ARB
extension. No properly functioning ATI driver would have that extension
in it.


i am pretty sure that the gfx-card on the autobuild machine does NOT
support the nvidia extensions (natively).
however, i am also pretty sure, that these machiens are using the mesaGL implementation which (being a software renderer) can provide pretty any
extension (it knows about).
it would provide the nvidia-extensions (in software, like everything
else) even for an old vesa card or whatever.

so configure correctly detects that glDeleteProgramsNV() is supported on
the autobuild machine. period.

now, why is it not supported on some machines? probably because of older
versions of mesaGL which do not yet support the nvidia-extensions.

This is what is on the Ubuntu machine in the auto-build farm that compiled the Ubuntu build that started this thread:

This is what is on the Ubuntu machine that had the problem running it:

So you are saying that they removed NV compatibility from in mesa when going from 6.4 to 6.5?
