Hello Spout!
I'm a Quality Assurance Engineer with Android Development, I hope I can be of some help if I find issues! =)

I've found an issue with the spoutcraft client (white screen)

On my PC here at work if I try to launch Minecraft.exe it will let me know that my video card is not supported. (posted report from minecraft.exe below)

When I launch the spout client I will get a White Screen without any warnings about my video card drivers.

Additional notes:
I have The dev build checked in options so I should be launching if it wasn't for the white screen / bad drivers.

Expected:
Give a warning if the users video card drivers are not supported.

Bad video card drivers!
-----------------------

Minecraft was unable to start because it failed to find an accelerated OpenGL mode.
This can usually be fixed by updating the video card drivers.
