Hi,
Trying to run a depth peeling program on ubuntu lead me to an exception saying many profiles can't be found.
The program is almost the same than the depth peeling example provided in JOGL demos, and is using JOGL2 rc5 (http://www.jzy3d.org/misc/depthpeeling/org.jogl.demos.dualdepthpeeling.zip).

Do you have an idea why it can't find profiles?
I recently updated nvidia drivers as follow:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

Cheers,
Martin
