28 Sep 2003 - Site start

A fast 3D T&L accelerated video card with OpenGL support.

GLX version 1.3 is preferred but 1.2 should work with some restrictions

If GLX version 1.2 is used, screen must be at least in 24bpp color depth mode to get appropriate results. For GLX 1.3 15bpp or 16bpp mode can be used - internal rendering is done in 24bpp
