<h2>GL Driver</h2>

  <p>This driver represents a basic driver for all system-dependent drivers 
  implemented in the X-Windows system using the <a href="http://www.opengl.org/">
  OpenGL</a> SDK. The implementation uses the OpenGL, GLU and GLX API functions. 
  For the font support, this driver uses the
  <a href="http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/henryj/code/index.html#FTGL">FTGL</a> 
  API functions, which it was written against the
  <a href="http://www.freetype.org/">Free Type</a> library.</p>
