Is there a module that supports OpenGL 2.0?

I don't have an ATI card, I bought an nVidia soley for Linux. To get 
hardware acceleration to work was as simple as:
$ sudo nvidia-glx-config enable

Hmm, I got it to link ok, but I had to comment out some glut functions 
to get it to work. And I had to change glee_h as it had a bunch of 
redefinitions (GL_BYTE, GL_PHONG_WIN, GL_VERTEX_ARRAY_EXT, etc).

Anyways, when I include glutDisplayFunc in the program, I get this error:

test.d(127): function glut.glutDisplayFunc (void(C *)()) does not match 
argument types (void(*)())
test.d(127): cannot implicitly convert expression (& renderScene) of 
type void(*)() to void(C *)()

Any clues how to fix this? I've never seen this one before.

Hmm, I don't have any problems on my 2600+ 512ram... maybe I'm slow?
Anyways, I would say try Dapper, but the ati and nvidia drivers are in a 
state of flux at the moment. So here's some alternatives then:
- Xubuntu (Xfce on ubuntu) - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu
- Elive - http://www.elivecd.org/

I haven't tried the newest Elive yet, but I do run Enlightenment on 
Ubuntu and it works nicely. I've tried the previous version of Elive and 
it was pretty good, but they just came out with a new version that looks 
a whole lot better.

Um, don't know. I don't use Kate (or any kde stuff). I try to stick to 
purely gnome, as I'm always afraid using kde programs will add extra 
services running on the computer (maybe that's some of your slowness?). 
But I just use gedit, a simple text editor... :|
