[PD] Gem [glsl_geometry]: need OpenGL-2.1

[ALAN BROOKER]

Hi all,

Thanks for the comments,

here is my list:


GEM information
---------------
OpenGL info
Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
Renderer: GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a/PCI/SSE2/3DNOW!
Version: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 260.19.21

hmmm I dont see GL_EXT_geometry_shader4 on the list so must be to do with my
crud integrated graphics

no worries though, as per IOhannes suggestion I currently trying to
download  new-graphics-card now from the Ubuntu software centre...

...if only!
Thanks again
