    BUG:10621 Workaround for an nVidia bug in X11 indirect rendering mode. · d64cfbc2
    François Bertel authored
    The version reported by the driver in X11 indirect rendering mode is above what
    the driver can do (for example it tells it supports 2.1 (Xserver on GeForce
    6800) or even 3.2 (Xserver on Quadro FX 3600M)) when it cannot actually support
    PBO (pixel buffer objects) which is core in 2.1. It does not advertise PBO as
    an extension. The workaround makes vtkOpenGLExtensionManager returns false in
    indirect mode for any requested OpenGL version, which let the algorithms to
    only tests against advertised extensions.
    
    It has been tested with nVidia driver 195.36.15 (shipped with Ubuntu 10.04).
