Blackstream, that person didnt know what the hell he was talking about. OpenGL does NOT at all use DirectX. For one thing, OpenGL was made long before DirectX was even thought of.

Have you ever debugged an opengl program?
If you look @ the debug window you''ll see DDRAW.DLL (!)

OpenGL as such doesn''t require DirectX in any way, but many driver implementations use DirectDraw for the window into which their OpenGL driver renders, so it is true for many drivers that OpenGL uses DirectDraw.
