OpenML

Probably have most of you seen the OpenML annoncument. I do not know what to think about it... http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/smile.gif

It seems to extends the native window system in the same way as OpenGL. This is not a wrapper like GLUT. Has anyone any experience with a similar designed multimedia library?

One good thing is if it will be possible to configure the display with the same standard functions. I guess marcus256 agrees. http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/smile.gif

Here is the URL if anyone missed it http://www.khronos.org/openml/index.html

Some of the things that I am thinking of:
- when will an implementation be available on linux?
- are companies like nvidia and ATI really going to release this on windows? (Remember that they are not distributing an updated OpenGL DLL)

[Overmind]

It's not their fault that no updated OpenGL DLL is available. The OpenGL DLL is part of the operating system and therefore subject to M$ copyright. It can't be altered by another company than Microsoft.
