Graphic installation of OpenGL 1.2 or Glide will differ, depending on what card you have.
Chief among his concerns is lack of OpenGL access despite the hardware supporting it.

As far as 3-D software goes, you'll need OpenGL 1.2 or Glide support.
One of the challenges of desktop virtualization is translating Microsoft 's DirectX graphics language into the OpenGL standard used by Apple.
The G450 supports hardware-accelerated Environment-Mapped Bump Mapping for real-time 3D game effects and is compliant with the OpenGL and DirectX standards.
If you have a Nvidia card (GeForce, TNT, TNT2, and so on), the Nvidia X server and OpenGL implementation works just fine.
All three can draw DirectX 11.1 and OpenGL 4 visuals, as well as take on OpenCL 1.2 computing and faster media processing.
Application certification - support for the broadest spectrum of professional applications, including those utilising OpenGL 4.1, Shader Model 5.0, and Microsoft DirectX 11, plus DirectCompute and OpenCL standards.

OpenGL ES is a registered trademark of Silicon Graphics Inc.
By providing such a rich set of extensions to the baseline OpenGL ES 2.0 API, PowerVR is enabling developers to create applications with compelling differences today, while being fully prepared for tomorrow.

Not only did the intrepid forum goer grapple with the OpenGL API to devise the solution, but they also created the altered software before their own Rift dev kit arrived, relying on others to provide feedback for tweaking.
In order to create a 3D game that would run in stereoscopic 3D, you would need to create a 3D game using OpenGL, and then license a tool chain which would be able to convert this to 3D stereo.
Specifically OEMs, semiconductor partners and developers using PowerVR Series5XT powered platforms that have these optional OpenGL ES 2.0 extensions enabled, can have access to some of the key features of next generation APIs, such as OpenGL ES 3.0, on today's technology.

Don't necessarily expect them to work on every Android phone, however, as there are some prerequisites for AIR, namely an ARMv7 processor or better with a vector co-processor, OpenGL ES 2.0 and Froyo, but Adobe says if your device handles Flash 10.1, it'll probably run AIR.

The new extensions can enhance the delivered capabilities of today's technology and application processors based on that technology and enable developers to create apps that can access some of the features of OpenGL ES 3.0, taking them into the next level of possibilities in visual effects or efficiency.

In order to experience the T604, we took a look at three demos, including Timbuktu 2, which demonstrates elements like self shadowing and depth of field with OpenGL ES 3.0, Hauntheim, which gives us an early look at physics simulation and HDR lighting with OpenCL, and Enlighten, which rendered silky smooth real-time illumination.
With 2X the performance and 2X the power efficiency, the ZMS-40 delivers ground-breaking media capabilities to handheld devices such as tablets, including ultra-high-resolution H.264 HP decoding of up to 3840x1080 for true 1080p 3D stereo, a rich and interactive desktop browsing experience, 2560x1600 (WQXGA) display resolution support, higher-quality video encoding and immersive OpenGL ES graphics and future support for High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC).
On a more technical front, we're told the PDK supports the Linux standard SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) to ease in porting and development (Unreal for Linux runs using SDL, for instance), and that developers could even build apps like an audio processor that rely on PDK components but don't show up in the UI at all, or OpenGL-empowered things that aren't necessarily games or in 3D.
