it's possible in the OpenGL specs... sorta...
OpenGL isn't designed for multiheaded but it's designed for multiple
display perspectives. Not the same...

Nope. OpenGL == 2D and 3D target is what I was looking for :)
X isn't part of the equation here unless OpenGL is running under X.
(not always true :)
Cute possibility -> Mesa/GGI as target for GGI.... (could it be done?)
I've been looking at making a Mesa/3Dfx/fbdev varient [or DRI without
requiring X]. I'm annoyed at X again...
G'day, eh? :)
