Hey folks, I have encountered a problem which already was discussed in this forum before. However not realy explicitly about what is troubling me. I implimented FBOs on my laptop computer (ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M) and was quite happy that everything seemed to be workin just fine. Then I compiled a release version and ran it on my desktop computer (ATI RADEON X1600). And to my suprise it crashed right when I call the glFramebufferTexture2DEXT(...) function. I am using the GLEW extension libraries. I executed the glewinfo executable and everything about the FBOs passed, just like on my laptop. So I wonder, why is my program crashing? Do you guys have a hunch about it? I would appreciate every hint, link or comment very much!! Thx in advance! cherio Woltan

My guess is that you are adding a colour buffer AFTER you add a depth buffer?

For some reason, this used to work fine and then in a later version of the driver crashes things out.

Try moving the order around so that you attach the colour buffer first then attach the depth, i think this is what fixed it for me.

Heyas yall,
thank you for your help. I finally found some time to trouble shoot the problem, and as stupid as it sounds i didnt have the latest drivers installed. I didnt know that fbos were that new on the marked to not be supported in a one year old driver.
The strange thing is that the driver on my notebook is older than the one on my desktop was.
But now that it is workin i am happy :)
thanx for ya help!!
