short update, I upgraded ours and 01hello seems to work (the torus comes
up), the only difference is, that one has an ATI card, but from my
experience hardware behaves more uniformly under OS X, so that should
hopefully not matter that much. Only for some tests (csm) I lost the
mouse input, not sure why ;(.

One thought, could you try testWindowCocoa on the discrete nvidia card, 
not that glut has an influence.

kind regards
