Mistake: OpenGL problems on Sun Sparc

[M.Schrijver at el.utwente.nl]

Many thanks for all your replies! As some of you already noticed, I made
a stupid mistake in describing my hardware: the graphics board I
mentioned is in my SGI workstation, not the Sun! So, don't ask me where
I bought that particular configuration ....

I will try your suggestions, and I'm confident that I will succeed (I
think ;-O )

Bye, Marc
