I recently read a note that someone is interested in Hardware Accelerated OpenGL with Cygwin/Xfree86. I, too, am very interested in such a project, but would be unable to write the necessary code to interface the windows hardware accelerated OpenGL libs and Xfree86. I am stuck with Windows on one of my development machines at the moment due to some motherboard hardware issues and am thus resigned to search for a method to accelerate some OpenGL work I am planning on doing. I want to stick with XF86 though due to my desire to keep this project based in the *nix world (as my entire project will eventually migrate to either FreeBSD or Linux).
Is there currently a hardware acceleration project for cygwin, and if so, what is the status? Thanks much!
