I going to be porting an OpenGL API to Linux in about a month or so, and I have a couple of questions.
What level of hardware GL is available on the Linux platform.
Are fullscreen apps and video mode switches possible.
Could I use an API like SDL and still get hardware GL.
thanks

A fair amount. Matrox G400/450, most if not all NVidia cards, some ATI cards, Voodoo 2 and up, all supported. Probably even more that I’m not aware of.
Take a look at http://dri.sourceforge.net/ and click on “Status” to see a more comprehensive list.

Yup.

Yup.
