 The release notes of the ATI driver for linux, version 8.21.7
 (some times ago) claim they introduce support for opengl 2.0:
 http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.21.7.html#179162

 is that false? Because when I configure cinelerra 2.1 I see
 opengl 2.0 is not detected, as you say.

ATI supports some OpenGL 2.0 commands but not
the OpenGL 2.0 version of the shading language, which
makes it a pretty worthless release.

The ATI driver uses a version of the shading language called
the ARB extension.  The ARB extension was used before
OpenGL 2.0 was finished.

Someone will probably start porting Cinelerra to the ARB shading
language so it at least partially runs on ATI until they finish
OpenGL 2.0 support, then the ARB porting will be abandoned.


Is the OpenGL 2.0 support related to the ATI *hardware* or only a  
matter of software?

Its a matter of software only. ATI always had bad drivers and even worse 
support for Linux.

?

i believe they don't fully support OpenGL 2, but i could be wrong.

 Which libraries do I need in order to get OpenGL 2.0 to work? I am
 running FC5 on i386.


The OpenGL libraries come with the driver for your graphics card.
Currently the only graphics cards which come with OpenGL 2.0 libraries
