Hi Pete,
This is the call I use.
b = glReadPixels(0, 0, 640, 480, GL_RGB,
GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE)
Seems to work ok for me.
If you send me an example/test of the call failing
I'll try and fix it for you.
Otherwise try out the function above, I know that one
works :) If you need it I could send you the code
where I use it.
Good luck!
