CrystalSpace uses OpenGL - it's essentially a layer on top of OpenGL.

You might also want to check out my own games library suite 'PLIB'
http://plib.sourceforge.net - it's not as comprehensive as CS - but
most people find it easier to use and there are *WAY* more actual
games written using PLIB than CS.

But check out both of them - it's very much a matter of style and
taste.
