- By the way, after following the various threads on OpenGL
- in the PEX forum, I'm curious as to what type of hardware that
- particular OpenGL implementation will support. Will it just contain
- standard drivers, or will it utilize any specific acceleration?
- I'm not a PC user, but I know that there's virtually hundreds
- of possibilities for graphics hardware on those machines. Will
- SGI be targeting specific hardware vendors, or will someone pick
- up the ball and produce hardware specifically for OpenGL (i.e.
- geometry engines, Z-buffer, etc.) ?
