Reinforces my notion that OpenGL is broken in so many fundamental ways.
You can't reliably predict what an OpenGL app is going to do on any
random hardware. The implementations seem to
routinely break the traditions of abstraction. It's downright
infuriating. Simple 2D graphics such as is used in Gnu Radio
should "just work", regardless of the hardware. I mean, if the
freaking login window can render, then Gnu Radio apps
should be able to.
