Now there are rumours about nVidia's "Big Bang II" might have something to do with OpenGL 3.0 (however, I doubt this) and maybe OpenGL 3.0 will finaly be born soon (I hope so). Will OpenGL 3.0 be supported in Linux on AMD/Ati graphics cards soon after the release of the final specs? As I understand OpenGL 3.0 needs the same hardware as OpenGL 2.1 does, so that would only mean new drivers.
Or is it even the case that OpenGL code is shared in the Windows driver and the Linux driver (in that case I guess we should see OpenGL 3.0 support at nearly the same time on both platforms). Maybe bridgman can tell something more about this?
I'm curious because I like doing some OpenGL programming in my spare time and I would like starting developing OpenGL 3.0 as soon as 'it is finished' on my Linux HD4870 pc .
