Bug in extgl
Just posting in case anyone here uses extgl (yes I know that it's "dead"), because I just spent a good while on a rather simple bug in it. The bug is rather simple: if the OpenGL version string does not start with "1." then it assumes that OpenGL 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 are not supported (this becomes a problem since I have OpenGL 2.0).
Ahh yes I just mentioned this in my "opengl version problems" thread! :) I was trying to get some demos to run that have crappy OpenGL version checking code. Evidently they assume that if the major version is not a "1" then you don't have OpenGL 1.2, 1.3, or 1.4, and they just report that you don't have a recent version and quit. Bah!
