OpenGL on /dev/fb - followup

Hi,

I am writing in reference to the archived post at:
http://www.lokigames.com/ml/sdl/5689.html

I am very interested in having the ability to use SDL and OpenGL outside
X, and I think an fbcon OpenGL (mesa) driver would be ideal.

Has there been any recent development in this area? I am willing to
assist with this if possible.

Thanks,

well… I heard, that Voodoo3 glide don’t work on console (Voodoo1 works OK),
so is it possible to have OpenGL without X with this card?On Sat, Apr 07, 2001 at 02:41:29PM -0600, Steve Houston wrote:

I posted a patch one time to glide-patches that made glide2/glide3 (I
don’t remember which - and my 3dfx card is toast now) work under fb/con

but I never did figure out how to make mesa talk to it…

G’day. eh? :slight_smile:
