OpenGL W/O chipset?

Can OpenGL work without a graphics chipset. If one can emulate floating point processor can one emulate the graphic chipset? The reason I am asking this question is that I would like to be able to take OpenGL to space on an embedded PPC 750. I currently do not know of any radiation hardened graphics chip sets.

There are software implementations of OpenGL (Mesa and SGI’s sample implementation).

Hi !

One solution would be to use Mesa as a starting point for this, take a look at it, you can find it at www.sourceforge.net

Yes, when no 3D graphics card is present, all of the opengl rendering is done with software.
