Creating OGL Context without a display/awtcanvas

[Evil-Devil]

All times when I want to get some information about my OGL and so on, i have to create the context for it. But then a display / awtcanvas have to be created

Is there any way to create just the context without the display /awtcanvas stuff?

I need this for a controlpanel that comes with my engine and it bother me to create a display/awtcanvas just to get some informationen about my ogl driver...

Create a pbuffer instead
In truth we've not actually thought that this was a requirement so if it were to be done nicely we should provide a proper API to do it. Pbuffers aren't exactly reliable.
