me not either :)
I haven't the slightest clue what's behind OpenGL.
Of course I can google for it and download Gigas, but before I
waste time and disk-space I'd like to know what I may get.

If OpenGL is what I think, it could be my key into analysing
drivers/tools to finally get the missing information on how
certain GPUs could be direct controlled at lowest level.

I gave up on DirectX analysis, it's just too heavy detoured and
dragged me through hundreds of dlls and into the kernel too often.
And I wonder why it at all works any faster than linear VESA,  ;)
bypassing all these detours would free the CPU for other jobs
during a GPU frame cycle.

Ok, I'll search for GLSL-tools and GL1.1/2.0 specs as well.

[3D & game features ...] ok

I hope GL is a less detoured story in the back ...
