Note the additional note in the 1.1 Compliance document (section 2.5.1): . OpenGL ES 2.0 [OGLES] (ARM) or OpenGL [OGL] (Atom) Note For this version of the specification, Atom implementations include MeeGo API components which are built against OpenGL, not OpenGL ES. The Atom implementation is expected to change to OpenGL ES in the next version, which will cause an explicit compatibility break. Basically as of 1.2 and beyond, all verticals and all architectures (inc. Atom) will use OpenGL ES. > > > Hope this helps. > > Yes, a lot!
