Crazy Colors Problems

Problem

If you have a really old driver, or something that doesn't support recent OpenGL shading language, you might see an error in your DOUG output that says "OGLSL not supported!!".

This is a bad thing. Also, further investigation with the gde.csh script might show that you are running a pretty old driver version:

== Local machine ==
NVIDIA card found at domain: 01:05.0
NVIDIA driver version: 1.0-8762 

1.0–8762 … that's very old.

Your visuals might look like this:

Solution

The solution here is to update your nvidia driver. Go to the NVIDIA website and download the latest driver for your platform, and install it.
