IRIS Performer 1.2 is based on IrisGL. It supports either gl-based
or X-based input. It does not need or use OpenGL.

There will be a future release of IRIS Performer for OpenGL, but
the just-released (and available now) IRIS Performer 1.2 is very
much IrisGL-based. That lets it run on *all* SGI systems.
