OpenGL fragment and vertex shader extentions

How can I use OpenGL extensions like ARB_vertex_program and ARB_fragment_program? Are OpenGL extensions implemented and handled by graphics' drivers? Or...?

I don't even *use* OpenGL, but I found what you're looking for.. via Google!

<GL/glext.h> from Mesa seems to contain those "ARB" functions...

Your Google-fu needs improvement.

EDIT: It would seem Mesa will use software fall back if those extensions aren't supported natviely by the card, I guess that was your question? As for Windows, I don't know.

Jeko,

As with your other post, please take this as a warning to read the forum rules and do some background reading before you ask such a non-specific question. Looking at your other posts, you now seem to be trying to implement OpenGL without first having implemented graphics drivers.

Before doing anything else, research.

Cheers,
Adam
