I would suggest that for an application like ParaView, you will probably get much better performance if you use the experimental hardware accelerated OpenGL -wgl mode, see [2] for details. [2] http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree-announce/2010-11/msg00000.html I tried this, but it did not work. First I tried it in single-window mode, and that gave an error in XWin.0.log that it wouldn't work with a root window. So then I said XWin -wgl -multiwindow, and in my XWin.0.log I have the following error: [ 8581.437] (II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_SGI_make_current_read [ 8581.437] (II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer [ 8581.437] (II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_SGI_swap_control and GLX_MESA_swap_control [ 8581.437] (II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_SGIX_pbuffer [ 8581.437] wglGetPixelFormatAttribivARB failed for WGL_NUMBER_PIXEL_FORMATS_ARB: Unknown error (c007000d (c007000d) [ 8581.437] 0 fbConfigs [ 8581.437] pxf vis fb render Ste aux accum MS drawable Group/ [ 8581.437] idx ID ID VisualType Depth Lvl RGB CI DB Swap reo R G B A Z S buf AR AG AB AA bufs num W P Pb Float Trans Caveat [ 8581.437] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ 8581.437] (II) AIGLX: Set GLX version to 1.3 [ 8581.437] (II) GLX: Initialized Win32 native WGL GL provider for screen 0 When I try to run glx programs they don't work, and glxinfo gives me this error, regardless of whether I set LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT: Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig Ken -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
