Most likely a driver problem (or elsewhere in the software). I don't think
there's
_that_ much "context" on a G400 anyway...

It should not be a problem as far as I can tell really...
I'm not an export though...

I do think we should use OpenGL more. That way the problems that
may exist will eventually get fixed :)
And besides, it _is_ a very nice graphics API.
