You should get information with glGetString and also, make sure you have the drivers from nvidia installed and not MESA3D or some other software junk.

1. You can start out with freeGLUT to get off the ground. It hides the OS specific stuff like creation a window and GL context, user input.
2. There is Nehe but it is ancient and just teaches GL 1.1 and few things like VBO.
There is the Wiki for GL 3 stuff
http://www.opengl.org/wiki/Tutorials
and all this
http://www.opengl.org/wiki/Getting_started#Tutorials_and_How_To_Guides
3. The same way you learn the syntax for any other API
4. 2D tic tac toe or Pac Man.

The code looks fine. It is probably some system issue. BTW, what OS, gpu are you using. Do you have the latest graphics drivers?

So you are saying you are rendering to a texture (FBO) that doesn't have a depth buffer, but it appears that it is using the depth buffer from the window? That should not be possible. If it is working, there is no guarantee that it will work on other hardware.
Also, if you don't have a depth buffer attached to your FBO, you should should disable depth testing. http://www.opengl.org/wiki/Framebuffer_Object_Examples#Color_only

Use a 24 bit depth buffer for better precision. It is supported on everything.

#4944939 Does the OpenGL fixed function pipeline compute lighting in view-space?

It sounds like you aren't a OpenGL user.
GL doesn't have a view matrix and it doesn't have a world matrix. GL only has a modelview matrix.
GL transforms vertices by the modelview matrix to get eye space vertices. It also transform normals by the inverse transpose of the modelview matrix to get eye space normal vectors. Lighting is computed in eye space. In order to deal with non uniform scale, you can glEnable(GL_NORMALIZE). If you only have a uniform scale, you can glEnable(GL_RESCALE) which is "faster" than GL_NORMALIZE.
Of course, all of the above is relevant to the year 2002 and before. It's time to move to the world of shaders.

I see this problem come up often on these forums. Perhaps you aren't NULL terminating the string you send to GL or you aren't reading in the shader text file properly.

The shader look fine.
You should probably verify your "LightDirection" that you send to
glLightfv( GL_LIGHT0, GL_SPOT_DIRECTION, LightDirection );

If you are going to use glVertexAttribPointer, then you need shaders.
Otherwise, use glVertexPointer, glNormalPointer and the like.

You create the matrix and upload it to the shader. Use a matrix library such as

Any card that does GL 3.0 has a driver that does GL 3.3 (on Windows anyway) so why not use that?
Doom3 can run on GL 1.1 apparently http://liamm.com/tech/voodoo-2-sli-doom-3-kit
All id engines are GL 1.1 + a load and tons of extensions.
