GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object not working on Intel 945GSE

Hello everyone,

I noticed that one of my older applications does not work on my netbook with a Intel 945GSE graphics card.

The application requires either OpenGL 1.5 or the GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object extension. The Intel 945GSE supports this extension, but it doesn't seem to be working correctly on my machine.

The problem is quite simple: I can get a pointer to glGenBuffersARB using glXGetProcAddress and invoke it, but it never gives me a reasonable VBO name (usually zero or some very high value).

The funny thing is that glxinfo reports that the extension is supported (which is true, I had no problem using it on my previous Debian system), but glGetString( GL_EXTENSIONS ) does not.

I am using the xf86-video-intel driver and mesa-full from AUR.

The following is the output from glxinfo:

And the following is the code of my minimal testing program:

#include <GL/glfw.h>
#include <GL/glx.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

typedef void ( * glGenBuffersFP )( GLsizei n, GLuint * buffers );

int main()
{    
    if( glfwInit() != GL_TRUE ) exit(1);
    if( glfwOpenWindow( 400, 300, 8, 8, 8, 0, 0, 0, GLFW_WINDOW ) != GL_TRUE ) exit(2);
    
    printf( "GL_VENDOR: %s\n", glGetString( GL_VENDOR ) );
    printf( "GL_RENDERER: %s\n", glGetString( GL_RENDERER ) );
    printf( "GL_VERSION: %s\n", glGetString( GL_VERSION ) );
    printf( "GL_EXTENSIONS: %s\n", glGetString( GL_EXTENSIONS ) );
    
    glGenBuffersFP glGenBuffersProc = (glGenBuffersFP) glXGetProcAddress( "glGenBuffersARB" );

    printf( "glGenBuffersARB address: %x\n", glGenBuffersProc );
    
    GLuint buffer;
    glGenBuffersProc( 1, &buffer );
    printf( "Buffer: %d\n", buffer );
    
    glfwTerminate();
    
    return 0;
}

And this is its output:
