lwjgl programs run, but couple of oddities...

[kmyers]

Hello all,

I managed to get the Nehe demos running finally, but I still have 2 problems:

1) To get them to run I had to comment out the following lines in each:
   
   //sync to monitor
       GLCaps.determineAvailableExtensions();
       if(GLCaps.WGL_EXT_swap_control){
         GL.wglSwapIntervalEXT(1);
       }

2) When each program starts to run the following message is displayed
   in the console window, although the programs SEEM to run fine:

   GL_EXT_vertex_shader disabled because of missing driver symbols.

   I believe I have the newest version of ATI's Catalyst.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.  I am very grateful already for
help Cas has given through e-mail, and I have decided to start bugging the lwjgl community with my questions

Thanks much

Better post here for the record too:

You no longer need to call GLCaps.determineAvailableExtensions() - so it's gone.

WGL_EXT_swap_control has been removed and replaced with the cross-platform functions Window.setVSyncEnabled(true) and Window.isVSyncEnabled().

The latest Catalyst drivers truly are buggy and have missing functions. We currently disable the whole extension if it isn't properly present as advertised.
