As far as I know, the Mesa drivers do not provide OpenGL 2.1 support. Note that the shader version string is null. Supermodel requires GLSL 1.2. Install native, binary drivers if they are available for your card.

Thanks for the info. The trouble is, that the propritary drivers wont work with my 15khz arcade monitor in low resolutions.

Unless you can find a way to get your arcade monitor working with the binary drivers, I'm afraid there is no way to get around this. Shaders are an integral part of Supermodel's rendering system and that can't really be helped, unfortunately. Hopefully the Mesa team has plans to support OpenGL 2.x at some point, because OpenGL 1.x and even 2.x now are considered deprecated.
