AHA!
I found out why an8 > 1103 doesnt load in HW mode.

And so on...
And so on...
So, the GL_MAX_SAMPLES_EXT = 7572332. is clearly wrong and should be 7, not 7572332
Now, I guess to test this theorey I should waut untill it reaches this number ...
in fact I will... ... *waits Patiantly... Has dinner... Still waits*
