OpenGL and Mesa3D

Hi all,

I'm on a Solaris 10 platform with Python2.5. I'm looking at upgrading
wxPython from 2.6.3.3 to the latest version. I'd like to build
"--with-opengl".

I've been trying to figure out though how to tell if OpenGL is on my
system, so far embarrassingly without success.

I also see that Mesa3D is also an option, but I believe I understand
that Mesa3D does not use hardware acceleration, so I'm obviously
concerned with performance.

If anyone could help or comment on any of this it would be very much
appreciated!

Regards,
Chris Botos

Keep an eye on the output of wxWidget's configure (or check the log.) It should give some info about whether it found what it needs for the opengl option.
