I mean, GLES is nice and all, but OpenGL will be necessary sooner or later, so a replacement for GLX will be needed.

EGL works perfectly fine with OpenGL so the replacement for GLX is EGL, and actually there is a big push to replace GLX with EGL even on X windows since EGL is common across X, Mac OS, and Windows.

Oh, all right then. I thought EGL worked only for GLES, it's good to see that this is not the case.

Uh, actually, people seem to disagree about this issue. See for example this stackoverflow comment:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7017239/what-are-the-r... > There was some noise last year from Khronos about creating a version of EGL that could work on the desktop and make OpenGL contexts, but thus far, nothing came of it.
Do you have any sources to back up your claim that EGL can be used to create OpenGL contexts? Khronos.org also only mentions GLES and OpenVG contexts...
