OpenGL 1.0 - 1.3 by Silicon Graphics (i know you said 3.3) were release
full source "compile it yourself", i did so in linux and (win95 before i
boycotted ms products for a ton of consumer attacks reasons). the glut
glx were also full source AND WORKING (no "depends lists", no broken
compile environment harassment, etc)
SO: if it is an "OpenGL" product it will work (it will work in software
mode - if you want "all in silicon OpenGL" to work by drivers: then DONT
buy any common commercial card i'd think; and you need drivers not
OpenGL 3.3
if it does NOT work: then it's become a phony and itself is under attack
by hackers
it is that simple
