Where could I found documentation about installing OpenGL on a Linux Machine with a NVidia GeForce ?
Thanks,

AFAIK, OpenGl isn''t available on Linux. But Mesa is, which is a near exact port of OpenGL. Look up Nvidia''s website to see if they have some Linux drivers for your card.

NVidia provides a set of (non-open source) drivers for XFree86 and OGL/MesaGL.
They work quite well for me, though it took a little trouble to get it set up right.
And you have to use Mesa''s header files for development and you also need the Mesa source to compile glu and glut.

MESA is prolly the most "exact port" of opengl around
there should be documentation at the nvidia site when u download the latest version of the linux drivers included in the file.
BTW they''re only 5% slower than the windows drivers. whats the bet within 3 months linux (with nvidia) does gl quicker than windows
