Latest drvier... check.
Checked GL_EXTENSIONS and didn't see my framebuffer extension.
Played with Glew and got the same results.
Looks like my software is beyond the reach of my hardware. I guess
I'll just have to get off the bleeding edge. I can't have anything on
the screen, so it's off to study the pbuffer.
Thanks guys. Your input is much appreciated.
