Vega is sold at two levels. The Basic package communicates with the Performer
processes through a shared memory interface, so you can't make GL or Performer calls.
The Advanced package gives you direct access to the drawing process, so you can
call Performer and GL.
Performer 2 will be supported, OpenGL is in the works (I think), but only on SGI.
