textrenderer fails on RADEON XPRESS 200M Series x86/MMX/3DNow!/SSE2

one of our customers informed us, that our jogl-application crashes when run on an RADEON XPRESS 200M Series x86/MMX/3DNow!/SSE2.
we cannot test this, since we do not have access to such a graphics card.

the jogl version is RC6.

if it is of any help, here is the gl extension string

is this issue fixed in the nightly builds?

That issue should have been fixed in RC6. Perhaps the graphics card is incorrectly reporting that OpenGL 1.5 is fully supported when it does not provide the glBindBuffer function.

thanks for the information.

the card is even reporting Opengl 2.0

glvendor: ATI Technologies Inc.
glversion: 2.0.5817 WinXP Release
glrenderer: RADEON XPRESS 200M Series x86/MMX/3DNow!/SSE2

i will try to get our customer to install the latest drivers and see if that fixes the problem.

ok finally it turned out that the latest ATI drivers fixed this problem.
