but as i understand it: GL_VERSION_2_1 defines geometry shaders.  on 
GL_VERSION_2_0 a card _could_ have the ARB extension; if either was true 
(in your case at least the ARB extension is there) then the checks 
should succeed.
btw, i have simplified the code in svn a bit (using isRunnable() which 
you didn't have to hack, so it seems like the new code might work for 
you anyhow).


as for "latest GLEW" being installed, this doesn't really matter, since 
Gem includes its own static version of GLEW.

but if you have it installed, could you post the output of glewinfo?

yep; that's all we want, isn't it?
