Hi all,

Thanks for the comments, 

here is my list:


GEM information
---------------
OpenGL info
Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
Renderer: GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a/PCI/SSE2/3DNOW!
Version: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 260.19.21

hmmm I dont see GL_EXT_geometry_shader4 on the list so must be to do with my crud integrated graphics

no worries though, as per IOhannes suggestion I currently trying to download  new-graphics-card now from the Ubuntu software centre...

...if only!
Thanks again

ah nice :)

@Alan:

I see a: "Extensions: GL_EXT_geometry_shader4" in my List. This is
probably what you need.

GEM information

Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
Renderer: GeForce 9800 GT/PCI/SSE2
Version: 3.3.0
--snap--

And it should look like this, if you own a nvidia-GPU. Otherwise you
will have to install the proprietary drivers.
