The Wii video card interface is called 'GX'.
Here are some functions of the main header :
GX_Init, GX_InitFifoBase, GX_SetCPUFifo, GX_Flush, GX_GetDrawSync,
GX_SetDrawSync, GX_DrawDone, GX_TexModeSync, GX_ClearVtxDesc,
GX_LoadProjectionMtx, GX_SetViewport, GX_SetChanAmbColor, GX_Begin,
GX_BeginDispList, GX_CallDispList, GX_End, GX_Position3f32, GX_Normal3f32,
GX_Color4u8, GX_TexCoord2f32, GX_AdjustForOverscan, GX_SetCurrentMtx,
GX_SetZTexture, GX_SetZMode, ....
I dont know if this the same interface than the old time 'GX' api.
Anyway, I would like to mention that the purpose is not to have a special
non standard interface but to finish to implement the official openGL API to
be able to use all the current 3D engines.
So yes it is possible to have a complete openGL driver using the Nintendo GX
library at background.
