The question is: What are the OS requirements to provide hardware OpenGL in a linux OS?
Research beginnings
- It looks like MESA is a software renderer and does not use hardware GL. ref
implement OpenGL in the fbcon backend, using Mesa's miniglx (OpenGL over the framebuffer). This is limited to DRI-supported video cards but works fine and is hardware-accelerated, get Stephane Marchesin's glSDL patch
Links
- GLEW detects what GL extentions are available
- Mesh viewer, some nice pics and example models on this page
- Stephane MARCHESIN good GL links
