Mesa 7.2 (Default branch)
Mesa is a 3-D graphics library which uses the OpenGL API (Application Programming Interface). Mesa cannot be called an implementation of OpenGL since the author did not obtain an OpenGL license from SGI. Furthermore, Mesa cannot claim OpenGL conformance since the conformance tests are only available to OpenGL licensees. Despite these technical/legal terms, you may find Mesa to be a valid alternative to OpenGL. Most applications written for OpenGL can use Mesa instead without changing the source code. License: OSI Approved Changes:
The OpenGL 2.1 API is now implemented, though some drivers don't support it yet. Support for the Intel G41 chipset was added. Several bugs were fixed. Image

glxinfo

GLXINFO(1)						      General Commands Manual							GLXINFO(1)

NAME

       glxinfo - display info about a GLX extension and OpenGL renderer.

SYNOPSIS

       glxinfo [-t] [-v] [-b] [-display displayname]

DESCRIPTION

       glxinfo	lists  information  about  the GLX extension, OpenGL capable visuals, and the OpenGL renderer on an X server. The GLX and renderer
       info includes the version and extension attributes. The visual info lists the GLX visual attributes available for each OpenGL capable  vis-
       ual (e.g. whether the visual is double buffered, the component sizes, Z-buffering depth, etc).

       Command line options include:

       -t      By  default  the visual info is presented in a concise 80 character wide tabular format. The -t option directs glxinfo to produce a
	       wider, more readable tabular format.

       -v      Directs glxinfo to generate a verbose format output style for the visual list similar to the info of xdpyinfo.

       -b      Print the ID of the "best" visual on screen 0.

       -l      Print interesting OpenGL limits.

       -i      Use indirect rendering connection only.

       -display displayname
	       Specify the display to query.

ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY To get the default host, display number, and screen.
