glfw not running on older card

Monkey Forums/Monkey Bug Reports/glfw not running on older card

Skn3(Posted 2013) [#1]
I have had to send my gfx card back to the manufacturer so am stuck with an old x1550 card.

After much hair ripping I found and confirmed a working driver for this that supported opengl under windows 7.

The latest available driver working is cat7.12.

I ran the opengl extension viewer app to confirm that the card is running opengl 2.1.

Does monkey support this gl version under the glfw target?

If I try to compile I get:
Failed to find any usable GLFWFBConfigs
Unable to find a usable pixel format
Failed to create GLFW window


A google search indicated that other monkey people had this issue:

The solution was to update drivers, but that is not possible. 7.12 is the last version that works with this card on windows7.
