Mesa can use svgalib as a display target. However I don't think this
can easily be accelerated. I think that if you have a Voodoo 2/Voodoo
Graphics card you can possibly acheive this.

Mesa is an OpenGL implementation. It is just as "OpenGL"-ish as
microsoft's, sgi's, etc. The only thing that Mesa lacks it the certificate
to be OpenGL compliant.

Why not use GLUT? GLUT comes with Mesa and is the easiest way to start
playing around with OpenGL.
I suggest you get Mesa and the MesaDemos package, compile them, and start
playing with all of the example programs and source.
