iirc osg can statically link with opengl lib, so you can make 2 binaries: one with mesa statically linked in, and other using whatever opengl32.dll system have.
Cheers.

I am finding that glDrawElements ( called from void DrawElementsUInt::draw) crashes every time inside the MS OpenGL driver when given a geometry with say, 3000 elements. With smaller numbers of elements there are no problems.
This is code that works perfectly when running under accelerated drivers such as nVidia/ATI etc. I experimented with breaking up the drawing of elements into blocks of size GL_MAX_ELEMENTS_INDICES_WIN with no luck. It seems that repeated calls to glDrawElements in a loop even with a small number of elements cause the same issue.
This is almost certainly a bug in the driver, but I am wondering if anyone has a workaround that can be done at the OSG level.
Thanks
You can use mesa instead when running under RDC.
http://www.mesa3d.org, works well and even supports shaders.
If you can create an install specifically for RDC users then you can just put the mesa version of opengl32.dll in with your app and you are done.
If you need to dynamically chose between mesa/hardware renderer, you'll need to do some monkeying about though,
either loading osg/opengl via LoadLibrary or you'll have to create a little launcher program to modify the current PATH so
the mesa dlls are/are not found as appropriate.
BTW, don't try and delay load opengl32. I tried that when I wanted to dynamically chose the open gl version and it causes odd problems.
