hi

if anybody know operating systems / platforms with weak or missing opengl support (for example: no hardware drivers), its welcome to post it here. it can be pc operating system, or pc-like platform (not necessarry x86), the only thing is that it must be still in development. even oneman os-es are welcome, if they are relevant enough to countable significant number of users.

I do not understand the question. What exactly are you aiming at?

If you don't bother installing hardware drivers, every OS will have "weak" OpenGL. And if there are no drivers available, that's more of a problem with the hardware (and the people supporting it) than the OS.

Are you looking for obscure operating systems that are still in development? How about Syllable?

He's the author of TitaniumGL and he's looking for new platforms to target.

[EDIT] Geri, you should ask Thom Holwerda at OSNews.com, for my vote that used to be THE place to talk alternative OS's, perhaps he'd put up a news bit for you.

Stiletto: after i quickly rolled over his site, it seems he only interested into mainsteam os-es, he would not probably the ideal person to bother about this.

leileilol: i alreday started to make a port to that in last year, however there is a brutal overindexing bug somewhere that grinds important memory areas, so i not yet was able to continue

But in the day he was the goto place for news updates on AROS, ReactOS and such, so his commenters should know... anyhow.
