Is it just fluxus? What happens when you run glxgears for instance?

Fluxus tries to setup a visual with stencil and accumulation buffers, try
playing with line 201 of main.cpp. The accumulation buffer isn't needed,
and the stencil buffer is only needed for the shadows - I think it will
work ok without them otherwise.
