Let me preface my comment by saying that this is secondhand knowledge.

One of my students informed me about a month ago that our OpenGL interface is 
hideously out of date. "It doesn't even support version 2", he said.  My 
guess--and it's just a guess--is that what you're seeing *is* due to a lack of 
the time and energy required to update the FFI.  

Feel like doing it?

All the best,

John Clements
