this would of course be better (if it works; if it really is a buggy  
driver thing, then i don't think that glew will be able to detect it)

roman, could you please try to install "glew" (if you are on  
debian|ubuntu, there is a package, called "libglew1" (or was it  
"glew"?)) and run "glewinfo"; then send me/us the output of this?
