of course, you're right...

i know. i thought of a function that queries for
extensions for example.
anyway, why are people talking about opengl blit or
glsdl and similar stuff. somehow i didn't get the
point ;-)
anyway, as far as i understood the sdl concept (i'm
quite new to sdl), you can use sdl for 2d, sound,
network, event, etc, but if you want to draw 3d stuff,
you have to use the external opengl library. 
that's ok so far. i think there should either be no
interfering sdl-gl calls or a complete opengl
implementation. that was, what i thought. 
it'd be great, if someone could explain these
problems.

tnx folks....
