Now, call me stupid, but I cannot figure out how to enable VBO and windlight settings, like Glow and reflections.  Shaders are not working properly.  Here is my system:
Fedora Core 8 Linux, x86_64 archetecture
AMD Athlon 64x2 6000+ processor
2gb DDR2 RAM
NVidia GeForce 7800gs
I have updated the drivers, no go, options are still shaded out.  I looking in the secondlife script and nope, the options it tells me to comment out to enable advanced options are already commented out.  I have also gone into .secondlife directory and tried to manually enable the options in the xml files, No go also.  Anyone have any ideas on why I cannot use shaders, or VBO?
