Package "libgl1-mesa-glx"

free implementation of the OpenGL API -- GLX runtime
Mesa is a 3-D graphics library with an API which is very similar to
that of OpenGL. To the extent that Mesa utilizes the OpenGL command
syntax or state machine, it is being used with authorization from
Silicon Graphics, Inc. However, the author makes no claim that Mesa
is in any way a compatible replacement for OpenGL or associated with
Silicon Graphics, Inc.

This version of Mesa provides GLX and DRI capabilities: it is capable of
both direct and indirect rendering. For direct rendering, it can use DRI
modules from the libgl1-mesa-dri package to accelerate drawing.

This package does not include the modules themselves: these can be found
in the libgl1-mesa-dri package.
