And "de facto" does not make it a real one. opengl is installed on more machines that directx. If installation numbers is what decides it, then opengl will beat directx easily and obviously means opengl should be the de facto standard everyone uses. I think what you meant is that windows which has both opengl and directx is by far the most common installation, and microsoft says to use directx rather than opengl on their systems even though it has both and both work, and ID software thinks microsoft's direct3d isn't as good as opengl, but that apparently doesn't actually matter either. -- Len Sorensen - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
