Sounds like an OpenGL driver problem - it must be using software
emulation (or perhaps lack a full range visuals with stencil bits).

The code isn't in a shape just to be merged yet. Granted, it would be
easier if someone decided OpenGL is the "one true renderer", but I don't
want to see us do that.

I'm house-sitting for my parents next week, so aside from looking after
some livestock(*), I "might" have time to sit down and make some
progress. (Assuming I've finished re-wiring their loft this week).

I had the day to myself yesterday (which I spent wiring, plastering
holes and cleaning) and ended up so bored with my own company I am
looking for a little project next week.


* Where livestock is 8 ducks, 2 rabbits, 3 guinea pigs, 1 dog. The ducks
take the most effort to look after.
