[sldev] Self built viewer: gray only world with no texture (and quite unstable), any idea?

[Bok-yeon Lee]

It might be graphics driver issue. When I  used a laptop which has ATI-based
IGP graphics, I always saw the same gray world just like the picture you
posted. Have you ever run the downloaded viewer (not self built) on your
Vista machine?
