Hi,

Thanks, yes that is what I did, with glDrawable.getGL().getGL3() rather than glDrawable.getGL().getGL2().
The version reported by  gl.glGetString(GL3.GL_VERSION) is 3.3, rather than 4.1

The problem with this is that the NVidia driver itself definitely supports OpenGL 4.1. It is the latest (whql) driver,
the NVidia documentation says they support OGL 4.1. And an independent tool, GPU Caps viewer, actually
runs a little demo using OpenGL 4 features.

What goes wrong is that, apparently, the Jogl systems does not recognize the OGL 4 capabilities, and the question is why.
