Bino requires OpenGL 2.1 + FBOs since 0.7. It is possible to make it
work with older hardware (earlier Bino versions did), but you
essentially have to write a complete second video output pipeline
because of all the differences, and this second pipeline will only have
a subset of the features. I think it's not worth the effort, but if
someone is willing to write and maintain such a pipeline, I can add it.

I cannot reproduce this problem here. On what platform does this happen?
