Hi Antony ,
OpenGL ES 2.0 is based on OpenGL desktop 2.1 . It requires a Graphics card
with support for Vertex shader and Pixel Shaders ( At least cards from 2008
onwards support these stuff. ) and the driver should support OpenGL 2.x
Some cards might have support only for OpenGL desktop 1.2 , 1.3 or 1.4. So
support for OpenGL ES 2.0 won't be there .
OpenGL ES 2.0 on desktop piggy backs on OpenGL desktop driver available with
the OS.
Mesa3D (Software OpenGL ) has got support for OpenGL 2.x and I have seen source
code of OpenGL ES 2.0 in it's distribution.
In a nutshell , if the Graphics driver on Linux distribuition has got support
for OpenGL 2.1 , you can run your OpenGL ES 2.0 programs.
This is not straightforward process because most OGL ES 2.0 programs would have
been written for iPhone (with EAGL ) or Android ( with an implementation of
EGL ). What is ur use case here ?
regards
Praseed Pai

Hi all,
I read in the KDE site(http://kde.org/announcements/announce-4.7-beta1.php)
that the new KDE 4.7's KWin supports OpenGl-ES 2.0.
My desktop does not suport OpenGL and so I've not been able to enable
compositing on my current version of KDE(on squeeze).
Is
it possible to install OpenGL-ES on desktops and is there any chance
that ES version would work(on desks that does not support the regular
version)?
Details of my computer:
AMD athlon XP 2600+
An old Unichrome graphics card(32 Mb)
512 Mb RAM
Thanks in advance
