I'm sure Karl Schultz could enlighten us all about current position &
future plans. He has been know to follow this group, but perhaps he's
otherwise occupied at the moment. I do know that he was keen to get
OpenGL acceleration working with Linux.

In the meantime, if you want to find out what renderer your
IDLgrWindow object is using, call its GetDeviceInfo method with the
ALL keyword set and check the result. If it says something about
"Mesa" then it's using RSI's software renderer.
