So I had a user report a problem when running on their X3100 chipset, as glActiveTexture doesn’t appear to be available. Here’s the stats dump from their machine:

Now I’d decided that minimum specs for my game would be two-texture multitexturing, on the basis that every desktop/laptop chip has supported that for years, but that doesn’t seem to be the case here. The dump says that it supports GLSL shaders, VBOs, FBOs and multitexturing, yet the GL version is way down at 1.2, and the number of multitexturing units is only one (which begs the question, why include the GL_ARB_multitexture extension at all?).
What’s going on here? Is this an accurate reflection of the actual hardware capabilities or some crazy intel/apple driver quirk? Hard information on this card seems a little difficult to come by, but it seems recent (released ~2007 from what I can tell) and the driver version seems up to date too.
Any information and hints as to how to deal with this appreciated. Thanks.
