The question is: What are the OS requirements to provide hardware OpenGL in a linux OS?
Research beginnings
MESA is a 3D Graphics Library that can provide software and hardware rendering of openGL. To give hardware rendering it needs DRI (direct rendering interface) and DRM (direct rendering manager).
This is limited to DRI-supported video cards but works fine and is hardware-accelerated, get Stephane Marchesin's glSDL patch
