In my experience, it was the driver. I was running Ubuntu Linux on my laptop with my Ati Radeon Mobility x1600 and if I tried to use shaders in some way, PD would crash(ATI drivers for linux are, bad, closed source and open source versions all have their benefits and drawbacks).
If I run OSX on the same machine for example(which would be a hackintosh) the glsl shaders work very well.
