[PyOpenGL-Users] software render

[Andrew W. <and...@al...>]

Hello,
  Is it possible to force opengl to switch from a hardware render mode to a
software render mode.  For example, I have some code that won't work on some
older hardware as some of the calls are to functions that aren't supported
on that card.  Is there a software driver that I can use in those cases
without much recoding?
  Thanks
  Andrew

Hi Andrew

I think if you use MESA everything is in software.

However, how you install and setup (and specify) Mesa would depend on your OS
and available packages.  There my knowledge runs out sorry.
