Thanks to both Rob Jenkins and Angus Dorbie. The texture size was the problem. We reduced the size and all is well.

Thanks

These OpenGL errors are defined in GL.h, what you can often do is ogldebug
the app, turn on GLerror checking, then when you hit a GL error, look in the
man page for the call that triggered it. The GL man pages have an 'errors'
section so you should be able to look at the error and the function call to
get an idea of why GL didn't like the call. In this case 0x501 is
'INVALID_VALUE', extending on Angus's guess, the errors section for man
glteximage2d says:

"
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if width or height is less than zero,
     greater than 2+GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE, when width cannot be represented as
     2**k+2*border for some integer k, or when height cannot be represented
as
     2**k+I*border, where I is 2 when GL_INTERLACE_SGIX is disabled and 1
     otherwise.
"

So the texture being too big could trigger it as Angus says but to confirm
it, try and isolate the call that's triggering it.

Cheers
Rob

P.S.

Hmm.. could also be that the texture is too big.

I'm not sure that this would produce this error though.

Cheers,Angus.
