Hi J.P, Thanks for the info about Mesa and GLES. Linux has the makings of a great GLES platform once the distro's start being able to install GLES drivers directly.
Porting the OSG to Nokia's Meamo. Andriod would be nice as well but being a Java platform it introduces some interesting technical issues. Does anybody have any expertise on Meamo and Android development? Robert. On Wed, Nov 18, 2009 at 6:35 AM, J.P.
