Stellarium uses many of the newer features of OpenGl but ATI has not updated its drivers to suit these new features.

Effectively, this appears to mean that those of us with older ATI cards (Radeon X300 series in my case), for which
no further driver updates will be issued by the OEM according to their website, have been forgotten about by Stellarium developers too busy chasing the latest and greatest OpenGL features to incorporate. In which case, it's a problem of the programmers' own making!
The Stellarium people seem to have a disappointing approach to legacy system support - my Dell is only 4-5 years old and running well on XP, it's hardly scrap-heap material.
