"the XO laptop cannot run any opengl stuff" -- that's cast-in-stone
language. I'm currently using f7 builds rather than f9, but (just
to show that it *will* run) I've installed a binary Linux
application that was compiled to require opengl. I did 'yum install
freeglut' to keep that application happy. (Not sure whether that
particular application can actually *use* opengl -- it tells me that
some application-specific-images are not present -- but the rest of
that application works fine.)
