I am not a MAC specialist :-(

On Linux and Windows:
	You have to install the correct OpenGL drivers/libraries
	you want, e.g. software rendering or hardware rendering, or what else.

GL4Java uses the installed OpenGL implementation of your OS.
So it is different for every OS, how to switch to a different OpenGL
impl.

E.g., for Linux, I have tell the OS, to use this libGL.so,
I do so, while putting my libGL.so in a directory,
which is in the 1st place of the 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

I believe, for Windows, you can put the opengl32.dll library 
into the working directory, so it is used instead of the one
installed under c:\windows\system32 !

For MAC ?
I do not know !

You should install the Vodoo OpenGL driver/library properly,
so if any OpenGL application uses it, GL4Java will use it too !
You can check the the library which GL4Java uses with:

	java gl4java.GLContext -info

on the command line.

Yours, Sven
