Goodnews for Gamers – OpenGL 3.0 at The Open Source Year

Whilst discussing Linux Gaming with some friends recently, Japan Dan raised an interesting point about Linux supporting Direct X, to which I replied that it didn’t need to as there was OpenGL, at which point he said “oh yes I remember OpenGL, when exactly was it last updated?
” Ah “, I thought, Its passed version 1 and i’m sure i’ve heard of OpenGL 2 so i’ll say version 2. But in actual fact, if I had read the post at The Open Source Year I would have known we were on to version 3 and NVIDIA has an OpenGL driver out now. Pop over to The Open Source Year to learn more.
