ContextException from Easy

Hey all.

I tried both Windows binary and source versions of Easy, but get:

Traceback (most recent call last):

ContextException: Unable to share contexts

I read on a PyWeek post about another game that this is a known pyglet issue on older cards. I do have a serially disappointing ATI X1400.

Yeah, that's a generic pyglet problem - it requires a shared OpenGL context. You can disable it by setting the environment variable PYGLET_SHARED_WINDOW=no but I'm not sure my game will work if you do that - there's a chance I load images etc. before explicitly opening the game window.
