I just notice in the nvidia xserver settings tool: select OpenGL/GLX information and scroll about halfway down. My GeForce 6200 us reading support for Open GL 1.2(2.0.1 NVIDIA 81.78). I read that as Open GL 1.2 as I know my card only supports Open GL 1.5.
If your card is of the generation nvidia 5xxx then open gl 1.2 support would sound about right. If you're using nvidia cards ascertain your open GL support first by accessing the nvidia site and checking your chipset. This is only half the story however. From what I can see some of the Geforce 6xxx generation cards provide support for open gl 1.5 and some 2.0. The nvidia site can't give you much information on this. To get more information you need to check out the specs on support sites for your specific card manufacturer. Open GL 2.0 is well supported on new nvidia hardware including low end cards such as the 7100's. But high-end cards of the Geforce 6xxx line often only support Open GL 1.5. If you are buying cheap ebay or remainders beware. I'm no expert but I have been researching building a new computer and have discovered this. I'm thinking about a very cheap pair of Geforce 7100s since I have a spare SLI motherboard...
