Well, I still have Matrox G400 (ogl v1.1) so not the best OpenGL card you see nowdays. But that what I have to live with atm.
If Im right mesa drivers use software and are a relative up-to-date. Now, it would at least give me some hope to run more ogl demos.
Unfortunately Mesa download is sourcecode only and I dont have MS VisualStudio to compile it. Anyone know any 3rd party site where a compiled windows .dll drivers are available?
Milkshape site has a precompiled dll files. Dll gives software OpenGL1.5 version. But framerate of course drops through the floor.

I was able to run several Ogre3D OGL demos for the first time (such as dot3bump example). I copied two mesa .dll to the same folder as ogre3d demos and apps thought I have ogl v1.5 card. Next I will try few jogl and jme demos and see what happens.
btw, that site has a nice MsViewer.zip with full c++ sourcecode. It run an animated bones models quite nicely. Its some sort of an example how to create such animations.
