Decided to try 701, I had been putting it off... Quite nice, I found, the gtk ide seems OK, I also updated all the pacman stuff. I like it, I might carry on with it (I was a bit wary of anything new, my J is not that strong anyway)
Guess what? Still no joy on the OpenGL front. It says "OpenGL OK" when it tests the dlls, but then complains that a context can't be found when it is actually asked to render something. Ho-hum. I wish there was a clear explanation somewhere of the interrelation between all the libraries, mesa and the native nvidia stuff, but if there is, I haven't found it. Bit disappointing really, you'd think basic Linux stuff like this would be sorted long ago.
