Greetings - I have compiled OpenFlipper on my Mac Mini and upon starting up, I am greeted by a message that my driver/hardware does not support OpenGL 2.0. My Mini is rather old - it's an Intel Core Duo that is at least 5 years old, and so I am not surprised by this. Of course I had to build my own OpenFlipper because the compiled version that's available is 64-bit only, and my Mini is 32-bit. Perhaps I hoped I would get lucky :-) So my question is this: can I assume that a current iMac will have sufficient OpenGL support? The latest machine I will be getting has an AMD (ATI) Radeon HD 6970M card, which I think should be supporting OpenGL 2.1 at least... Thanks!

Without definite guarantees: All current Mac offerings that have at least an NVIDIA or AMD chip in it should work. It might even work on the SandyBridge GPUs, but we don't have those yet, so we could not test that. Best regards, Arne Schmitz -- Dipl.-Inform.
