DglOpenGL have more features than the traditional gl headers, right?

The solution was simple: The new Imaging  uses dglOpenGL. DglOpenGL requires initialization through InitOpenGL. After adding this initialization the access violation is gone.

After upgrade Lazarus, I can get a stack image:

In 0.22 version I used TSingleImage.ImageData. In 0.26 this property was apparently replaced by ImageDataPointer. This assumption is correct? So I replaced it in my source, that looks like:

procedure TTextureImaging.Load(AFileName: string);
var
  i: TSingleImage;
begin
  Debug.Msg(dlBegin, 'TTextureImaging.Load("' + AFileName + '")');
  i := nil;
  try
    i := TSingleImage.Create;
    i.LoadFromFile(AFileName);
    FWidth := i.Width;
    FHeight := i.Height;
    FId := CreateGLTextureFromImage(i.ImageDataPointer^);
    i.Free;
  except
    i.Free;
    raise;
  end;
end;

The exception is raised in the line: FId := CreateGLTextureFromImage(i.ImageDataPointer^);
Now I'm using Lazarus 0.9.30 and Ubuntu 11.10.

Hi friends,

    I'm using Imaging version 0.22 in a game project, and now I realize that I will need the TImagingCanvas blending. So upgrade Imaging is required.
    The only thing I had to change in the source was the property TSingleImage.ImageData that was renamed to ImageDataPointer. After this the project successfully built.
    For my surprise the program emits a segmentation fault message at start. I tried to debug it, but it happens before the first line of code!
    So... I did anything wrong?
