Ok, wait I think I misunderstood.  You are saying that the ancient  
ATI card in the autobuild machines might support the nvidia  
extensions, and they are being properly detected.  I thought you mean  
whether the card was nvidia or not (neither are).

It seems to load from the command line with -nogui, I am testing now  
whether I can load an object.
