I should have clarified. I would like a cross platform implementation, Windows and *nix. It doesn't seem as if glxinfo is available under Windows, at least not without installing X11 under cygwin. If necessary, I can write the *nix and Windows queries separately. Thanks, Benjamin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
