From a brief look at OpenVG, there seeem to be chips that support hardware OpenVG and not hardware OpenGL. That seems to be much of the point of OpenVG: So low-end devices can acceperate graphics, without being powerful GL-capable GPUs. As far as I can tell, those chips are used only in phones, not desktops.
