As most of you probably know now, Workbench supports two visualization modes: hardware & software based. Unfortunately automatic switcher was not in place by the time when beta version came out (will be fixed in a week), so some of you, who don’t have video subsystem supporting OpenGL v1.5, will encounter error on start when trying to run hardware based configuration. Note v1.5 is a minimum required version of OpenGL needed to start Workbench. You can get detailed information about your video subsystem using one of these tools: OpenGL-Extension-Viewer or GPU-Caps-Viewer. Both of them support export into xml file, so you can also easily attach your video configuration to your bug report when needed.
