That's funny.. I've never tried Allegro myself (hmm.. maybe I should) but
I _have_ used OpenGL a bit. And it DOES have tons of features that I think
would be a pity to reinvent in Allegro: motion blur, atmospheric fog, a
wide variety of rendering and shading, 3d spline surfaces..
But (as mentioned earlier) someone said Mesa-2.2 compiles cleanly on
DJGPP. Haven't tried it (yet) though. Not sure if it uses VESA or anything
like that. There's a Winblows version of Mesa too.. (in the same .tar.gz
file)
