Thanks for your help. I managed to hack something and have a basic ut_renderer working on Linux. The android GL implementation can connect to it ok.
However, I had to patch a lot of stuff related to glXGetFBConfigs etc. to get this to work. I am afraid the surface is not what android expects it to be so the colors etc. are all very weird. I wanted to ask you if you have to tweak something in X to support visuals which android would like or does the translation take care of it? Did you use any specific version/distribution of X? Also does the ut_renderer (or anything similar) work on Windows yet? I understand this is under heavy development, but at the minimum I wanted to get to the stage of the demo you showed at IO. I hope I can get there with the sources which are in the tree.
