Shaders are faulty!

I think my video card is too old even for Supermodel.. I've even put in the Fragment Shader fix, but it did no good! Here's the report:

Program terminated due to an error.

Any ideas?

The fragment shader is too big for some of the older ATI GPUs, despite their OpenGL 2.1/GLSL 1.2 support. You can try making the modification to Fragment_NoSpotlight.glsl discussed here and see if it helps any. You can also download the source code and extract Src/Graphics/Shaders/Fragment_Flat.glsl and try that (but you'll have no texture mapping).

Thanks! It works now - albeit very sloowwwlyyy. Some parts are fine but the cutscenes are very choppy and the trench scene is in slow motion. I'll go see how I can improve performance.
