Can I run Glest by using DirectX for graphics instead of OpenGL

[Solaris]

When I try to open Glest, it says I have OpenGL 1.2 and that I need Open GL 1.3 or later. So, is there any way I can run Glest without using OpenGL? Like by using DirectX instead?

I really don't think so.  Why can't you just update OpenGL?  It's free.

I changed the factory graphics setting in the ini to DirectX9 and it seemed to work. Of course, I have openGL on my computer too, so its always possible that it merely used open GL regardless, but do try and tell me if it worked!

GraphicsFactory *FactoryRepository::getGraphicsFactory(const string &name){
   if(name == "OpenGL"){
      return &graphicsFactoryGl;
   }
   else if(name == "OpenGL2"){
      return &graphicsFactoryGl2;
   }

   throw runtime_error("Unknown graphics factory: " + name);
}

It should have crashed! Are you sure you saved the ini ?

Indeed. DirectX is only available for sound on Windows as far as I'm aware.
