Comment Linux & HW OpenGL support (Score 1) 92

The Question is how Quake3 will find out if a system supports hardware OpenGL? I guess under Win95/NT all you have to do is check if GL_RENDERER returns something different that "GDI GENERIC" which almost always means you have OpenGL ICD/MCD installed...

What about Linux? checking out /proc/pci won't do the trick since mounted card doesn't have to provide support for hardware OpenGL under Linux. Glide/Mesa + Accellerated X11 are going to be the *only* two renderers in Quake3? What about GGI?
