Sorry about the whining, but I’m starting to get pretty annoyed by the fact that
it seems to be virtually impossibe to find any OpenGL documentation (GL, GLX,
perhaps GLU; not very interested in GLUT) in a usable format. I’d prefer
standard Un*x man or info pages, but nice and clean HTML would do.
Does this exist on the 'net at all? The closest matches so far are some OS/2 man
pages (which I can’t convert into a readable format) and the on-line man pages
on www.sun.com, which I’m trying to wget now… I’d be very happy if someone
had a pointer to something more useful.

You can actually get the full api spec in pdf format,
in addition if you check out:

Thanks!
I also looked at the sun ftp server that some sites link to, and it
actually exists! hehe It didn’t even seem to be known by any DNS
when I checked before…
Got some man pages from there as well, apparently belonging in the
XFree86 source tree. (While my XFree86 trees only have the GLX pages.)

There is a ton of information here:

Hope that helps.

Yes, I was there a couple of times before, but either the ftp server was down,
or the links were wrong. Worked yesterday, though.
