i don't think there will ever be support for non opengl cards, as that would be extremely difficult and unnecessary since almost all newer integrated graphic cards support opengl so your only solution seems to be upgrading your system

I guess there's no pc graphics card that doesn't have any OpenGL support, not sure what you mean by non-opengl cards. There are cards (and their drivers) that don't support OpenGL 3.3+, but OT won't be supported on these because they are not powerful enough anyway. Other engines and games are usually using DirectX, but even if OT was using DirectX, it would not support DirectX 9 cards because of its technical limitations.

For Intel integrated cards, only the newer Ivy Bridge and Haswell will be supported, because Sandy bridge doesn't support OpenGL 3.3.

well that's because most games use directx and not opengl, older igfx probably don't support the required opengl functions ;)
dammit cameni you ninja !! :D
