Re: GL & OPENGL for linux



In message <F50B1F1C40@hagiga.jct.ac.il> you write:

|First, you can always use SvgaLIB, which is pretty OK. 

Maybe, but it isn't as compatible as OpenGL may be.

|I'm positive there's an OPENGL for Linux, although I don't
|know where to find it.

A PD implementation of 90% of OpenGL is Mesa, look at
http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~brianp/Mesa.html.

There is a company, I think E&S (Evans and Sutherland?) which sells a
commercial 100% implementation of OpenGL for Linux.  They mentioned
planning for a hardware support sometime in the future.  I don't have
pointers but it could be a question asked frequently enough to be put
in one of the FAQ's.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,
