Hi Andy,

You may need to look at some basic OpenGL examples.

There are some documentation about OS Mesa here 
http://www.mesa3d.org/osmesa.html
Some of this is outdated but you can get the gist of how it works.

There are some demos that show OS Mesa's use here 
http://www.mesa3d.org/download.html
look in the osdemos dir.

If you look at GL_VENDOR, GL_VERSION, GL_RENDERER gl fields you can 
verify which driver you're using ( 
http://www.opengl.org/wiki/GLAPI/glGetString). If all you care for is OS 
Mesa then disable all the other drivers when you configure your build.
