I'd like to do hardware accelerated opengl using Windows and opengl. The Windows part is my boss's idea. If X is hardware accelerated, I might be able to use Xlib calls. Does using opengl under cygwin require X? Does using hardware accelerated opengl require X? How experimental is cygwin's hardware accelerated X server? In other words: What are the gotchas? Are there intermittent or otherwise mysterious problems? If so, how often are there permanent or ephemeral errors?
I suspect I could get this by installing cygwin.all and RTFM, but I'm rather leery of all things Windows, especially things installed by me. I'd like to have a clue before I start installing things. -- "Pessimist: The glass is half empty. Optimist: The glass is half full.
