I don't think that is the case. That ATI part does not support the OpenGL functionality in question at all whether through the NV or ARB extension. No properly functioning ATI driver would have that extension in it.
I am thinking for the Pd-0.39.2-extended release, Gem should be compiled with --disable-NV, but it can stay as is on the nightly builds if that's useful to y'all.
I wouldn't do anything until it is clear that the autobuild machine is building a binary with calls to the Nvidia extension. I do not think it is.
Ah, ok. I was going on the configure report, which says "using NV-extensions : yes" I guess that doesn't necessarily mean that it compiles with the extensions.
You can see the build logs here:
