Material Bug on old Graphics Cards

With my old 600MHz laptop I have some problems initializing all openGL extension (which is quite clear, because they are not present
). This is just to remind everybody, that this problem still exists.
SVN: Revision 9879
My systems:
=================
Desktop:
=================
OS: Gentoo Xorg 7.0
Gfx: S3 Savage IV
Driver: Kernel S3 savage driver
=================
Vaio PCG-SR11K
=================
OS: Gentoo Kernel 2.6.17
Gfx: S3 Savage IV
Driver: Kernel S3 savage driver
Starting the game causes this error to happen:

Some extension in the material class is the problem

This should be fixed in r9882

I don't know if it's related with this bug... what are the sizes of the textures in Orxonox? Most old graphic cards can't handle texture sizes which aren't a power of 2. It just came to my mind when I read about old hardware...

Created a ticket for this bug:
https://dev.orxonox.net/ticket/208
Could you all please check, if this bug still exists on your systems (silvan?), thx!

Yes, this is most probably connected to the square-texture BUG.
For the Fix one should first check for the support of
--> GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two <--
So two solutions can be considered (split by step a and b):
1. Adapt texture class as follows:
2. Check for the extension using GLEW (hope it is found on newer HW)
3. Check for the 2^n size of the texture being loaded.
4. SDL_Surface* Texture::prepareSurface(SDL_Surface* surface, bool& hasAlpha) should return a square Texture.
a) Either blit to a square surface
b) or rescale the surface and blit it to a new one that is OpenGL conform

Yes the bug is still here
(At least in the current cleanup branch).

Thx for the replies! I think I will try to fix this bug first.

Is it just me or is this last post completely unrelated to this bug?
I'm afraid we're dealing with some kind of not allowed ad. At least the last one posted in a related topic and a question, while this time it's pretty obvious that's an ad.
Edit: The unrelated post has been deleted

Don't get why this can happen. I may direct you to the post, hofzge:

Two users are wiriting the same message? I think it's just spam! Check "UserA" and "UserB". They are spamers too. -> delete them and we need a stronger spam protction.
