[PyOpenGL-Users] No stencil buffer?

[Jordan S. <jso...@MI...>]

I've been developing a simple application using PyOpenGL for a few weeks 
now, and trying to add a feature that requires use of the stencil 
buffer.  However, the stencil buffer doesn't seem to be working- all 
pixels pass the test, even when the test is GL_NEVER.  
glGetInteger(GL_STENCIL_BITS) returns 0, but running glxinfo on my 
machine shows that my graphics card supports an 8 bit stencil buffer.  
I'm running Ubuntu and my graphics card is an nVidia GeForce Go 7300.  
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks a ton,
