So, GLSL functionality was scaled back due to the fact that some graphics cards and drivers don't support GLSL very well. I don't know if this utility would be of any value to LL, but here's an OpenGL extensions viewer that shows how completely a given card and driver set supports OpenGL and GLSL:

Maybe someone else will find it useful in gauging the compatibility of their graphics card and drivers.

I'll take a look! If nothing else, it could prove useful for support purposes, to help troubleshoot that someone's OpenGL drivers are working correctly.

Link is not working, I'm using a beta OpenGL ATI driver, was wondering what stuff was supported in that. Too bad SL isn't coded to work well with ATI though.

Edit: NM slow ftp site. Ran all the tests, passed them all. What exactly am I looking for?
