Eh? The OpenGL interface was working fine the last time I tried to use it. Now, granted, this was J7 and more on windows than on linux. But the whole interface was talking directly to the *.so files. If that no longer works, it sounds like something has changed in Linux and we are not tracking those changes. (Which probably has a lot to do with licensing restrictions on the part of GPU vendors?) Anyways, my search engine abilities seem to be fading recently - most content that used to be showing up in searches seems to exist no longer in google, and I've not found any other search engine which does as good of a job as google used to do, so out of frustration I'm dropping a snapshot of the old versions of the addons on github. Try pulling down a copy from https://github.com/rdm/j701-addons/tree/master/addons/graphics/opengl/ and see if you can make that work? If it does, let the ISI people know so they can start distributing it again?
