suddenly OpenGL-Exception on different PC
Feb 4th, 2008, 12:10pm  
Hello everybody.

I just tried to copy a complete working sketch to another Computer. To make sure that it works i copied the whole processing-folder too. At least that worked on every PC until now.

Here I get following error:

javax.media.opengl.GLException: Method "glGenFramebuffersEXT" not available
at com.sun.opengl.impl.GLImpl.glGenFramebuffersEXT(GLImpl.java:5705)


Does that mean that some files are broken or that my graphics-card has limited OpenGL-support? Or does it mean something totally different?

If anyone has an idea please tell me, any help is appreciated...

Thanks in advance,

Sven

Not all video cards/drivers support all features unfortunately.

EXT means an extension to the GL spec, and so not a feature a card has to support in order to claim OpenGL capability.
