Hi,
I just ran the Advanced Shadow Mapping sample from Panda 3D and the message I get is
“Shadow Demo: Video driver reports that depth textures are not supported.”
I am pretty sure Depth textures are supported for Radeon HD 4850.
Also, other samples run with some or the other error when run in DirectX 9 mode.
I have the latest drivers for the card.
Below is the debug log.
