Oh, and ATI seems to have completely broken shaders, at least with older
cards, in the latest fglrx. And don't think older versions will work on
F7/F8. I filed a bug:

http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-3429

I can't even enable hardware skinning on standard viewers, which used to
work fine, so its not even a windlight specific bug. fglrx is just plain
b0rked, as usual. ;P
