Hello all; in addition to having problems with jit.gl.render (I've posted this earlier) I seem to be unable to use jit.gl.shader. I get lots of messages like the ones below when even trying out the help file. Is it just that my computer doesn't meet minimum system requirements? 

jit.gl.shader: graphics hardware is not capable of running CG fragment programs.

jit.gl.shader: CG not supported for current hardware config.

jit.gl.shader: unable to find usable language implementation.

jit.gl.shader: error reading shader xml file 'ART:/Applications/Max5/Cycling '74/jitter-shaders/vertdisplace'

It's saying that the Cg framework (which some shaders use) is not

loading up properly. Could you post a patch and your graphics card

model? Which shader are you trying to load?

I have a 17" Powerbook, 1GHz, OS 10.5.6, 2GB RAM.

I'm having two problems so far with this machine (which is new to me) and Max 5.

The first is with jit.gl.render which always gives the warning in the Max window.

jit.gl.render: warning: OpenGL version 1.2 or higher is required.

jit.gl.render: Some rendering functions may be impaired.

Now System Profiler tells me that I am running OpenGL 1.5.9 so I don't know what's happening with that.

I've reinstalled the operating system and Max a few times and it's still the same.

Second is with jit.gl.shader which gives the following warning each time I try to use it in the jit.gl.shader Help File.

I understand that this is likely due to my old hardware but given the oddity of the jit.gl.render object's behavior I thought I'd ask about jit.gl.shader here.

Thank you for writing!

Likely the shader issues are due to the OpenGL version being detected

as 1.2. On a quick google search, I found info indicating a lack of

shader support for your card, so I don't think it's going to be

possible in any case for you to use shaders. I briefly looked at the

System Profiler on my system and I didn't see any mention of OpenGL

driver version in there. Are you sure that's not the NVIDIA

driver/hardware version? If you have the developer tools, you can run

OpenGL /Developer/Applications/Graphics/OpenGL Driver Monitor

Alternatively, you can download GLEW and run glewinfo to spit out a

text file with all of your OpenGL renderer info.

Too bad about not being able to use the shaders. 

I was given this computer by a friend wanting to help me out 

with an artist residency project I have coming up. 

It needed to put a new hard drive in it and add more RAM. I also got 

a copy of Leopard to bring it up to snuff and now I find that 

it's still not happening. Rats, that's a lot of money kind of wasted.

I wish I could just afford a new computer but oh well.

As for the OpenGL version info; I found it listed in System Profiler in the 

Frameworks category under the Software tab. 

I don't think that I have the developer tools installed and don't know anything 

about them. Would they be on the Leopard install disk?

Hi again; thanks for the advice.

Do you think installing them could help?

This is the version of the OpenGL.framework itself, not the version of

OpenGL your driver supports. There's a difference but it may be

confusing if you're not very familiar with how all this stuff works.

You have to download it from Apple's developer site. It's a massive

download (> 1GB). It would only help verify that your system does or

does not support shaders. It won't add new functionality. You can

give it a go, but I have a very strong sense that you're not going to

be able to get shaders working with your current hardware.
