[DUG] OpenGL drivers and GLScene

[Matt Comb]

I remember that DelphiX had a similar problem some years back. It was due to 
an internal routine that basically checked the version of a main dll and ran 
it through a case statement. If dll version = whatever then version = 
thisversion.

The drawback being that all versions had to be calculated in the units and 
when a new version was released, the units said they no longer worked, even 
though they probably did if directx was backwardly compatible.

I haven't worked with GLScene for a year, but its possible it does a similar 
thing.

I would do a search on the units for the error message (e.g. v1.1) and see 
if you can trace it back. If you find it, you may need to fudge the unit 
temporarily and report the error back to Eric or Mike
