interesting..

the relevant code from glview.cc is:

--snip--
        GLenum err = glewInit();
        if (GLEW_OK != err) {
                fprintf(stderr, "GLEW Error: %s\n", glewGetErrorString(err));
        }
        const char *openscad_disable_gl20_env = getenv("OPENSCAD_DISABLE_GL20");
        if (openscad_disable_gl20_env && !strcmp(openscad_disable_gl20_env, "0"))
                openscad_disable_gl20_env = NULL;
        if (glewIsSupported("GL_VERSION_2_0") && openscad_disable_gl20_env == NULL)
--snap--

so unless you have set OPENSCAD_DISABLE_GL20 in your environment you should
start looking at the glew library and the handling of "GL_VERSION_2_0"
there..
